Artist Statement:
I would like to say "I live to
paint" but it's the other way
around. I am not very good at
marketing my artwork. I have
a small art gallery in an out
of the way small town located
in southern Oregon, of which I
am the only exhibitor. So I
thought I would try something
new by exposing my paintings
to a new audience. I hope.
Artists, I think, have to have
a thick skin, like any
salesman, in order to face
rejection, criticism and all
of the other perils of trying
to make and sell art. I use
to paint and draw pictures of
asocial commentary nature but
they didn't sell. I was told
that they were disturbing and
people wouldn't buy a painting
of two bums huddled on a
street trying to keep warm. Of
course they were right, no one
did. Then it was suggested
that I should do art more like
the art on greeting cards.
Inspiring. A fellow artist
explained to me that I needed
a 'gimmick' to sell art. "If
you were not so ordinary I am
sure your art would sell". I
didn't take him seriously. At
that ...
