The Business of Art

It is so exciting for me to be able to share my New Art Website with you.

It was a big job, but I was up for the challenge!

I hired Chix Design to design and set up my website, using their 30 years of experience in the industry to help me understand more about the BUSINESS OF ART.

I am usually a very organized person but I became too busy painting to realize how disorganized my pictures had become. My idea of backup was to have several copies of the same picture. My son taught me how to organize all of my paintings and to save them on desktop. Lynda Baxter of Chix Design taught me how to transfer them all into the categories I chosen to display my paintings. All this was a HU…..GE learning curve for me which took me a great deal of time and effort.

Using my website to make life easier

When I finally transferred all of my 100 paintings into Categories on my Website I was able to add the details for each of the paintings. In this way, keeping my website up to date and keeping track of my paintings was part of the BUSINESS OF ART. It’s is a whole new dimension of my art world.

I enjoy writing so the articles were easy to write but all about me was a different story to share. I have had many customers tell me how much they enjoyed reading about my Artistic Journey.

I hope you are all enjoying my paintings and may just find that special one you want for your wall in your home or as a gift. I have prints of my Mountain High Painting on watercolour paper and they sell for $40.00 each and are presented on framing boards. I will be getting prints made up of “My Portrait of Power” Painting of our Legislative Dome.

Representation of my Art

I have other presentations of my art work in the Society of Western Canadian Artists new book “Edmonton Though the Eyes of their Artists”. The paintings were juried by 7 Gallery Owners and Art Stores and I was very fortunate to have 5 of my watercolour paintings chosen to be in the book. They are available through the Society plus Audrey’s Books, Tix on the Square, the Alberta Gallery and I have 2 left for sale.

This is picture of me at an Art Show and Sale at the Convention Centre. I was interviewed about my Artistic Journey and the interview was aired & shared as a promotion of the show. Another way to be involved in the BUSINESS OF ART

The BUSINESS OF ART is very exciting but I am missing painting and looking forward to lifting a brush again.
