At this year’s student art show, one of the most beloved and talked-about exhibits was the miniature gallery filled with student-created oil paintings.
Each wall of the gallery showcased tiny, hand-painted artworks created by young artists. Visitors wandered through the space, marveling at how much personality and skill could fit into such small canvases. The overall setup looked like a real gallery in miniature—and many people were especially curious about one particular detail:
“Where did you get those gold frames?”
So in response to all the interest, I’m sharing the product details here.

Product Info – Mini Gold Frames

• Product Name: Vicenpal 100 Pieces Gold Vintage Resin Picture Frame Set (Amazon)
  
• Contents: 100 mini gold frames in various shapes – hearts, ovals, squares, ornate vintage styles
  
• Material: Durable, lightweight resin
  
• Best For: Mini art displays, oil painting showcases, dollhouse galleries, jewelry/photo decor
  

Oil Paintings + Mini Frames = A Magical Match

​All of the miniature artworks featured in the gallery were painted in oil by students on small canvas boards or thick paper. Once dry, the paintings were trimmed and mounted inside the gold resin frames, then arranged on a portable gallery wall.
These little frames didn’t just decorate the artwork—they elevated it. They brought a sense of elegance and completion to each piece and made the entire gallery space feel polished and professional. Many visitors commented that it felt like stepping into a real museum.

💡 Tips for Creating a Mini Art Gallery
​

• Use canvas pads or thick art paper for student oil paintings to keep the artworks lightweight and easy to trim.
• Once dry, trim paintings to size and secure them inside the frames using foam tape or double-sided mounting squares.
• Build gallery walls with canvas fabric, felt, or foam board to create a lightweight and reusable display space.

It was amazing to see how these small frames helped bring out the full charm of the students’ work. Each painting, though small in scale, told a story—and the frames gave it the spotlight it deserved.
​
If you're looking for a meaningful, hands-on art project that students (and visitors!) will remember, consider creating a miniature gallery of your own.

You’re making great work, but your blog isn’t getting clicks, your portfolio isn’t showing up in Google, and your Instagram growth has slowed.
The problem might not be your art — it might be your keywords.
In 2025, these are the trending terms that are driving visibility, search traffic, and online interest in the art world.

Knowing and using them smartly can help your art reach more people.

​When I first started my blog, I didn’t worry much about keywords.
I simply wrote what I felt, documented what I created, and followed the rhythm of my own artistic life.
But recently, I’ve started wondering:
“What are people actually searching for in the art world today?”
I realized that while writing from the heart will always be my foundation,
understanding popular art keywords might help my work reach more people--
not by changing who I am, but by learning to speak a language more people can hear.
So I did some research with ChatGpt, and here’s what I found:
the most relevant, creative, and trending art keywords of 2025--
and how artists like us can use them without losing our voice.

7 Art Keywords Artists Should Know in 2025

​1. AI Art / Artificial Intelligence-Based Visuals

• Generative artwork made with tools like DALL·E, Midjourney, or custom-trained models
• Examples: AI-generated painting, machine learning art, prompt-based illustration

2. Mixed Media / New Media Art

• Combining analog and digital: watercolor with digital overlays, collage with AR, etc.
• Examples: mixed media botanical, digital and handmade, new media fine art

3. Biophilic & Nature-Centered Art

• Earth tones, botanical elements, environmental storytelling
• Examples: eco-conscious art, climate-inspired work, biophilic design in art

4. Bold Color Palettes

• Vibrant, expressive use of color for emotional impact
• Examples: bold abstract, color drenching, vivid watercolor

5. Textured & Tactile Painting

• Thick brushwork, impasto, layered surfaces, and physical texture
• Examples: textured canvas, impasto floral, tactile surface art

6. Art with a Message / Climate & Activist Art

• Art that addresses climate change, social justice, identity, or peace
• Examples: climate art, art as activism, ethical visual storytelling

7. Retro & Abstract Landscape Revival

• Nostalgic tones, 70s–90s aesthetics, combined with loose landscapes
• Examples: vintage-inspired landscapes, retro abstract, nostalgia art trend

To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to keywords, meta tags, or SEO when I first began writing.
I wrote spontaneously—whatever I was experiencing, thinking, or creating.
There was no strategy, no structured outline, just a genuine flow of thoughts.
Ironically, despite this lack of planning, I’ve come to learn that my website still performs surprisingly well on search engines.
It seems that authenticity and consistency have a value of their own—especially when they are built over time.
Now, I’m beginning to understand how meta structure and SEO can amplify what I’ve already built.
It’s not about changing how I write, but about framing it more clearly so that search engines—and people—can better find what I share.

As I continue learning about writing for the web, I’ve decided to share these discoveries step by step.
Many artists, myself included, are naturally intuitive and spontaneous. We don't always enjoy being confined by structure or rules—especially when it comes to expression.
But at some point, I realized that organizing my writing within a certain framework doesn't have to diminish its authenticity.
In fact, it can help more people find and connect with it.
That’s when I discovered how useful ChatGPT can be for artists like me.
It doesn’t write the heart of the story—I do.
But it helps me take what I’ve written and shape it into a format that search engines understand, without sacrificing my voice.
For artists who find SEO and structure overwhelming, I truly believe AI can serve as a gentle guide, not a replacement.

You've exhibited, painted, taught, and even published your own books…
But when someone Googles your name — does your art show up?
In today’s world, it’s not enough to just have talent.
You need to be discoverable, and one of the best tools to help artists achieve this is Google Search Console.

 What Is Google Search Console?

Google Search Console is a free tool that helps you understand how your website performs on Google Search.
For artists, this means:

• Seeing how often your name or artwork appears in searches
• Tracking which blog posts or portfolio pages get the most attention
• Learning which pages need SEO improvements
• Building a digital presence beyond just social media or gallery shows

How to Set It Up (Weebly, Wix, WordPress, etc.)

1. Go to Google Search Console
   
2. Click Start now and enter your website URL
   
3. Choose URL prefix (for most website builders like Weebly)
   
4. Select the HTML tag method for verification
   
5. Copy the provided <meta> tag
   
6. Paste it into your website’s <head> section (In Weebly: Settings → SEO → Header code)
   
7. Go back to Search Console and click Verify
   

Once verified, Google will begin collecting data about your website — usually within 24 hours.

Key Metrics Every Artist Should Check

​1. How often is your name searched?

• Go to the Performance tab → Queries
• Look for your name: "Anna Koh", "Korean watercolor artist", etc.
• See impressions (how often shown) and clicks (how often clicked)

2. Which pages attract the most visitors?

• Check the Pages tab to see which blog posts or artworks are most visited
• Use this data to create more of what’s working

3. Which pages rank low?

• Pages that appear in position 20 or lower may need improvement
• Update titles, add more relevant keywords, or expand the content

Why This Matters for Artists

Google Search Console is more than a technical tool.
It’s your way of managing how your name and work exist on the web.
You don’t need to wait for a gallery or a magazine to feature you.
If someone searches for “Korean watercolor artist in New York,”
and you have a strong digital presence — you can be found.

Final Thoughts

​In the digital age, a powerful artist is not only one who creates,
but one who understands how to be found.
Use Search Console to:

• Protect your name as a brand
• Share your story through blog posts
• Track what matters, and let your work reach farther

If you're running an artist portfolio, blog, or small business site on Weebly, you might be wondering how many people are actually visiting your site—and what they're doing once they get there. That’s where Google Analytics 4 (GA4) comes in.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how I connected GA4 to my Weebly site step by step. It’s easier than it sounds, and once it’s set up, you’ll gain access to powerful insights about your visitors.

Step 1: Set Up a GA4 Stream

1. Go to Google Analytics and sign in.
2. Create a new Property (if needed) and choose “Web” as the platform.
3. Enter your website URL (e.g., https://www.annakoh.com) and complete the setup.
4. You’ll be given a Measurement ID, which looks like this:

Step 2: Add the GA4 Code to Weebly

1. Log into your Weebly Editor and go to Settings > SEO.
   
2. Scroll down to the Footer Code section.
   
3. Paste the following code into the box:
   

​<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-your id"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'G-5MN5VB856F');
</script>

​Click the Publish button in the top right corner to save changes.

Step 3: Test the Installation

1. Go back to your Google Analytics account.
2. Click Reports > Realtime in the left menu.
3. Visit your website in a new tab (or from a different device).
   If your visit shows up as an active user, your setup is working!

🔁 What if There’s an Older Tracking Code?

​If your site previously had a Universal Analytics (UA) tracking ID (e.g., UA-xxxx or G-CE2FZ8BYGV), you can remove it. Google is transitioning fully to GA4, so only your new GA4 code is needed.

✨ Final Thoughts

​Connecting Google Analytics 4 to your Weebly site turns it from a static portfolio into a data-powered platform. You’ll be able to track which posts perform well, where visitors are coming from, and how long they’re staying.
As an artist, it helps me understand how people engage with my creative world—and that makes my work even more meaningful.

If you’ve been using Weebly for a while, you might one day discover—much to your shock—that an image on your site has mysteriously changed. That’s exactly what happened to me recently.

On my info archive page, I noticed a strange photo of a cat’s eyes suddenly appearing where a completely different image used to be. Did I upload that cat image myself? Absolutely not. The original image was relevant and intentional. But somehow, it had been replaced.

After some investigation, I realized what had happened: the new image had the same file name as the previous one. And because Weebly doesn’t organize uploaded images into separate folders, it simply overwrote the old image with the new one.

If you're an artist, blogger, or small business owner who’s been using Weebly for years, discovering this kind of issue can be truly alarming. You may not even notice until much later—when the original image is long gone.
​
So how can you prevent this?Here’s a simple but very effective solution I now use: screenshot your images before uploading.

• Take a screenshot of the image you want to upload (on Mac: Shift + Command + 4; on Windows: use the Snipping Tool or PrtSc).
• The screenshot will automatically be saved with a unique filename that includes the date and time.
• This ensures that no two images will ever have the same name, even if you forget what your original files were named.

Since adopting this method, I’ve had no issues with image overwriting. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s a highly practical workaround—especially if you’re not ready to migrate away from Weebly.
​
If you've experienced something similar or want to protect your site from potential image loss, I encourage you to give this method a try. It may save you from a lot of frustration down the road. And of course—back up your work regularly!
