Finding my Audience…
My art is an extension of me. It is my gift to the world, yet it feeds my soul. As an art educator, I provide my students (youth or adult) the opportunity to create. In our instant access world, we need activities that slow us down. Creating involves investigation, planning, execution, and (if we choose to) sharing. Each artist brings their individual history to their artwork, which tells their story. No two people are alike, so neither is the space within, which is where the art comes from. Art connects us as individuals on a personal level and connects us to history and humanity.
As an artist I share my mixed media glass art via periodic solo shows, call for entry shows, invitationals and through monthly shows as a member of a co-op gallery. I have a website which is my digital portfolio. I am using the Brand Story Challenge as a kickoff to start my blog. I also use social media to share new work and postings on my Etsy store. For my next solo show (September 2016) I will send out email invitations and postcard invitations. I am always open to new opportunities that will put me and my art out there. I am confident that continuing to create my art and sharing it publicly, that I will attract like-minded people to join me at my gallery openings and share my work with others.
