It's always great to share some thoughts about art and culture. This latest interview was with CanvasRebel and I enjoyed thinking through some of these career and society oriented questions. I'm very grateful to CanvasRebel for giving me the opportunity to discuss these ideas.

Thank you to everyone who attended both of my presentations yesterday at the Old Schoolhouse Museum. It was great to share my journey with all of you. And it was especially nice to see some of my previous Ridgewood teachers. It was really touching and a special moment for me.
To anyone who purchased prints: first of all, thank you so much for your support and please note that they are a standard size of 8.5" X 11" so you can easily frame them. I worked with Ridgewood Press to create this high quality art prints. I also recently re-opened my SHOP PAGE which will have prints for sale and some original works too. A few people asked about my upcoming plein air event at the Hermitage on May 18th - we are almost at full capacity for the event so if you are interested then I suggest purchasing tickets soon. We weren't sure how many people would sign up, but it's gotten a lot of interest. I'm looking to schedule more workshops soon either before or after my summer trip to Florence; I'll be gone for 6 weeks and will return in mid-August. 2024 has been a lot of fun so far and I can't wait for what's next! A huge thanks to Kathryn Schmidt and the editors at Ridgewood Living magazine for this beautiful article about my time as Artist-in-Residence at Claude Monet's estate in Giverny, France. It's been a real adventure over the last few years and I always love sharing my story as an artist and teacher.
I'm so happy to announce that I sold my first piece on Zatista! Zatista is an online platform that allows artists to show and sell their work directly to buyers. You can also use Zatista to commission artwork from artists. Their website and support team is really top notch and runs smoothly.
Anyone who tries to sell art knows the difficultly of it; sometimes it can feel impossible. If you're an artist and you are looking for an online gallery then I recommend Zatista. As of now, they take a 45% commission, which is about average with most galleries, but they also send you all the packing material and certificates of authenticity to include in your shipment. Another bonus is that they use sites like 1st dibs, Amazon Fine Art, Wayfair and others to reach collectors. It's a little different than other online platforms because artists need to apply in order to be accepted. They have about a 5% acceptance rate which is a good thing because it keeps the standards high and artists can feel proud of being on the site. You can find more information and apply to be an artist with THIS LINK. |
