Isle of Man artist Kim Graziano shines at festive Christmas markets

Local artist Kim Graziano has spent the festive season showcasing her work at five Christmas markets across the Isle of Man. The events, held in Ramsey, Laxey, and Peel, gave her the chance to meet new buyers and catch up with returning customers. For Graziano, this busy period is also the peak time for gift orders in her business, Kim Gee Studio. Graziano launched her Isle of Man Astrology collection in 2025, featuring greeting cards and a 2026 calendar. The calendar blends astrological dates with key island events, and its sales have climbed steadily at each market.

Her live watercolour speed portraits drew crowds at every venue. Meanwhile, enamel pins proved popular in Ramsey, while landscape-themed greeting cards sold well in Peel. The markets themselves varied in style—Ramsey and Laxey hosted more crafters, whereas Peel’s Christmas Hygge offered a more carefully selected range of stalls. Looking ahead, Graziano plans to expand the astrology line in 2026. New products will include tea towels and ceramics, building on the collection’s growing appeal.

The markets have boosted Graziano’s sales and helped her connect with a wider audience. With demand for her astrology-themed items rising, the expansion into homeware next year will offer customers even more choices. The festive season has once again proven vital for her creative business.
