I hope this message finds you all well. I am writing to address a recent incident that has affected my online presence and, ultimately, my ability to connect with each of you through my Instagram account, @wendybuiter.

As many of you may already know, my Instagram account was recently suspended by the platform citing a violation of their user policy, particularly in relation to counterfeit content. I was redirected to a page discussing the issue of counterfeit goods, and this decision undoubtedly caused distress and confusion among my followers and supporters.

I want to assure each one of you that my intentions have always been genuine, transparent, and centered around sharing my passion for art and creativity. The specific artwork that led to the suspension was a painting featuring a muse adorned with earrings inspired by the iconic Louis Vuitton logo.

I must emphasize that my artwork was never intended to promote or engage in counterfeit activities. On the contrary, it was a heartfelt tribute to the creative impact of the Louis Vuitton logo on modern culture and fashion. I explicitly stated that the piece was inspired by the logo and was created solely for artistic purposes, with no intention of selling or producing counterfeit items.

As an artist, my work is an expression of my thoughts, emotions, and inspirations. It deeply saddens me that my account suspension has potentially damaged my reputation, as I have always strived to create unique and authentic art that resonates with each of you.

Despite this setback, I want to encourage all of you to continue supporting my artistic journey. I remain dedicated to sharing my creations, thoughts, and artistic process through alternative platforms. You can find my work on wendybuiter.com, where I will continue to post regularly, providing you with insights into my latest projects and artistic endeavors.

Additionally, I invite you to explore my presence on other social media platforms. You can follow me on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/wendybuiter, YouTube at www.youtube.com/@wendybuiter, Pinterest at www.pinterest.ca/wendybuiter TikTok at www.tiktok.com/@wendy_buiter and my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/wendybuiterart where I will continue to engage with each one of you, share my passion for art, and stay connected with the incredible community that has been built around my work.

Thank you for your unwavering support and understanding during this challenging time. I look forward to continuing this journey with each one of you by my side.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Wendy Buiter
