Blog

I am going to do a 2 part blog on the pitfalls of finding your way with long term relationships with collectors. When do they, if ever; become friends. How do you sell to your friends now that you have an art business?

Art and life is about balance, finding the middle ground provides a good foundation in troubled time.

Sometimes when you are starting out or looking for representation locally, checking out the local artist co-op galleries can be a choice worth exploring.

Things to think of when someone comes knocking on your door with their hand out for a cause.

I explore the idea of artistic rivalries and what it accomplishes for us as creative people.

While we look to our future, should we consider more education? College debt is a major concern and what does it mean for us as artists? Artists are always looking at the landscape; natural, social, economical, aren't we continually educating ourselves?

While we are lamenting our loss of shows, lets take a moment to consider the others affected.

Perspective; while we lament our lost opportunity, we need to consider the effect on others.

In our effort to succeed, we tend to loose track of our obligations and some things can get lost in the mix.

The new normal in sales, I discuss the use of masks, hand sanitizer and social distancing at the art show I just did. Things may be challenging but they aren't impossible.
