Art Marketing Secrets

One of the great pleasures of being in the art business is the chance to see the work of artists we’re not familiar with from all corners of the world. While there is a lot of good work out there, it is only occasionally we see art that causes us to stop and catch our breath. Such was the case when we first saw the work of Frances Simpson of Kenya.

This weeks featured artist, Myra Rodriguez, is a photographer. But aside from her technical skill in working with a camera, she has the gift of artistic vision – in her case the ability to capture a story in each image – as if each was embedded with gigabytes of information just waiting to be told.

Creativity, uniqueness of vision, childhood wonder, and fine craftsmanship all find their match in this week’s featured artist, Dustin Wallace. Dustin is the real deal – pursuing his true passion in a unique medium bridging art and entertainment so that they are inseparable.

I was in the midst of resizing some of Tanya’s images in Photoshop when I found myself looking into the deeply smiling eyes of Mother Teresa in Tanya’s collage, “With Great Love”. It was one of those moments when you truly connect with a great piece of art. She was smiling at me, and I was smiling back. The stress of the day melted in a moment and I found myself swept up in a symphony of rich experience.

I felt a quickening of my heart – a surge of adrenaline and excitement in a very zen sort of way when I first looked at Zeph Farmby’s work. The life-force in the characters in his paintings and drawings is palpable – as if they are living breathing beings right in front of our eyes.

We chose Lee Robinsong as our featured artist for this week because his “circulist” style and realization shows a very unique interpretation of the beauty and life on our planet. Read on to find out more about this fascinating man.

From the very first moment I picked up the Agfa folding camera that my uncle gave me as a child I was hooked . That camera became an extension of me and I was always seeing life through its lens. My life made sense for the first time.

We chose Rick Clarence as our featured artist for this week because his work reminds us of what it means to be a true artist – to adventure into the worlds of creativity and bring back experiences we can all feel, enjoy, and grow from.

We chose Kazuki Takizawa as our featured artist for this week because we appreciate the talent and energy in his work and the clear sense of commitment and direction to his art career – the feeling of a young artist already going places is palpable.

When we launched our redesigned website we promised new features to keep you engaged and interested. We start tomorrow with our new weekly “Featured Artist”. Here’s what to expect!
