Official Gallery Representation




Earlier this year, I shared with everyone that I am being represented by a local art dealer, who had seen my work and wanted to represent me as a portrait artist.

This has evolved by having my own wall space in a co-op gallery and yesterday led to an official signing of my 1st gallery contract as a represented artist at the lovely Ladera Ranch Art Gallery.

I am so excited about this that I just had to share it with my old friends at SOG!

Thank you Carol!

I really lucked out in finding someone who really loves my work and who thinks that I have great potential. The pressure to produce is on, but I absolutely love it and just wish there were more hours in the day to get everything done.
