Summary

Independent artists outside major Western markets struggle to earn a living from their art due to geographic and economic constraints. Popular print-on-demand services, payment processors, and marketplace platforms often do not support artists in countries like Kenya, making it impossible to sell physical or digital goods globally. Even when platforms are available, currency conversion, shipping costs, and limited marketing reach create insurmountable barriers. This unsolved problem leaves talented artists unable to monetize their skills despite a global digital marketplace, forcing them to either abandon their practice or accept exploitative offers.
