BECOME A PINEAPPLE PICASSO ARTIST!

Make Money without the Hassle!

I used to sell my art at farmer’s markets and art shows. Once a month, I’d pack up my creations, wake up super early, and set up my tent for the day. Selling on Etsy wasn’t profitable with shipping costs, and I hated paying vendor fees and hauling my work all over the place. Every time I packed up my art, I risked damaging a piece. Then, I was recommended to sell at two local stores, Sip and Send and Cape Coral Remade. It was a game changer! I found it so much easier, and I finally started making money year-round. If I needed some extra cash, I’d host an art class. I did have to volunteer 30 hours a month at Remade, which was tough since I worked full-time. Weekends were my only available time, but I learned a lot and found a supportive community that really had my back. We want to do that for you too, making it even easier to find the right times that work for you.

ABOUT ME:

My name is Stacey Sawyer, and Pineapple Picasso was born from my sister’s love of pineapples. She passed away in 2018 from Multiple Myeloma at the age of 47. My grief was overwhelming, but I found comfort in creating art—it became my therapy. To honor her, I named my creative venture Pineapple Beach Creations, inspired by her love for both pineapples and the beach. I began entering art shows and eventually ended up in a few stores. In 2022, I developed a business plan and rebranded as Pineapple Picasso. In June of 2023, I made the life-changing decision to leave my 30-year teaching career and open Pineapple Picasso.

We offer a variety of local artwork from talented artists, engaging art classes, the popular Splatter Spot, and Passion Prints. The Splatter Spot features two large blacklight rooms filled with lights and music, where guests can shoot, squirt, and blast blacklight paint at each other and a canvas while wearing ponchos, goggles, and shoe covers. It’s a fun experience that draws in new visitors who might not have otherwise stopped by. Passion Prints is a unique experience for couples—guests are given disposable undergarments, a specially treated 3-foot by 4-foot canvas, and body paint to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece together.

Artist Mission Statement: Our goal is to inspire and support artists in their journey to become successful entrepreneurs by providing a platform to showcase and sell their creations. We aim to enrich lives through excitement, inspiration, creativity, and self-expression, all while delivering exceptional customer service.
Artist Obligations – Interested in becoming an artist and selling your creations? We offer a 70/30 split (70% to you, 30% to the store) on sales as long as you work 20 hours a month. If you don’t meet the 20-hour requirement, the split changes to 50/50. We only accept artists who are willing to work in the store.
Art classes are a great way to earn extra income. You don’t have to teach them, but if you do, we only keep $10 per participant, and the rest goes straight to you! If the idea of teaching seems intimidating, don’t worry—I was a teacher for 30 years and will guide you every step of the way until you feel confident.
Our store hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10am-6pm, Saturdays from 10am-7pm, and Sundays from 12pm-5pm. Weekends count as double time for your required hours, so if you work 5 hours on a Saturday, it counts as 10 hours.
Artists are paid monthly, around the 10th. Ready to join our Pineapple Picasso family? Sign up below!
Artists we are looking for: We’re looking for passionate, enthusiastic artists to join our close-knit community. We want to create an environment where we can all inspire and encourage each other to reach our full potential, and I’ll be your biggest cheerleader along the way. Our customers come here to have fun, and we strive to make that experience memorable for them. We’re seeking artists who create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that we don’t already have in the store. No store-bought art—everything must be original!
