Postcard!

I’ve been working on a postcard to promote me, my art, and my booth at the Tiburon Art Festival. So far, this is what I’ve got for the front.  For whatever reason, the file does not look this bright until I use a file uploader. Then it goes neon. In any event, I’m not concerned […]

Special Delivery to Palo Alto

You may have seen a painting on my Facebook Fan Page a few weeks ago that I called “One.”  It was on the small side, 6″ x 6″, but the painting turned out well, so I posted a photo of it. And what happened next is just one example of why I love social media. […]

It’s kind of a continuation of what I learned in the marketing seminar a few weeks ago. It’s a pretty interesting […]

How To Promote Your Art Online

… and other ways to engage in Shameless Self-Promotion using Social Media. I attended two(!) networking events this week.  The first was a happy hour organized by my financial advisor extraordinare, Michelle Alberda, and held at Marx & Zavattero Gallery.  It was the first “Cool People Party of 2009,” and I still have a warm […]

I want one!

This painting was a lot of fun. A lovely friend asked me awhile ago to paint her something for her apartment. She didn’t care how big it was, but she wanted it to be abstract. What a perfect request!  You’d think that with such wide-open options, I’d have it done in no time.  But no.  […]
