SPOTLIGHT: SVEN BASQUI – FIRST VENDING EXPERIENCE, FIRST SALE

The DOS Foundation proudly highlights Sven Basqui, a visual artist and Creative Intelligence Program (CIP) participant, who reached a major milestone at the She Owns It, She Biz Conference—vending her artwork for the very first time and successfully selling her pieces.

Special thanks to Heather Beverly for purchasing Sven's first piece of art.

This experience marked an important step in Sven’s journey as an artist. Through CIP, she was given the opportunity to present her work in a live environment, engage with the public, and step into her identity as a professional creative.

During the event, Sven not only showcased her paintings but also gained valuable insight from fellow artists and vendors. She received hands-on support with her booth setup, meaningful advice from experienced creatives, and felt a strong sense of encouragement and community throughout the experience.

Sven shared that she “felt the love” from those around her—an affirmation of what happens when creatives are placed in the right environment with the right support.

We are proud of Sven for stepping into this moment and embracing the opportunity. The DOS Foundation will continue to support her growth by helping her refine her brand, strengthen her presentation, and build a foundation for long-term success as a visual artist.

This is what the Creative Intelligence Program is about—real opportunities, real growth, and real results.
