She had what most artists would call success: a real studio with northern light, a decent waitlist, and collectors who sent her holiday cards—and checks that usually cleared.But Moxie wasn’t after respect. She was chasing reverence.She didn’t just want to sell paintings. She wanted to sell something unforgettable.And what she built to do that?
