Coming Up...

 Hello,

My next exhibits will be here before you know it. Mark your calendars. Grab your loved ones, stop by and help me sell 30 paintings this year. Buy art that speaks to your soul!



Reflecting a lot lately on 30 years of painting and what work has been done all this time. When I first started painting I had a hard time with the idea of selling my art. I wanted to sell paintings, but I was attached to each piece.  My friend got me my first art exhibit at the Gallery Cabaret in BuckTown. It is a little dive bar with art and open mics and live music and they made me feel good as the exhibit plans were made for a month long residency. It was a success, I sold a painting and never felt afraid to sell art again. As time went on I hooked up with Montana Morrison and Gallery 1633 where I learned about putting an exhibit together and putting collections together. I took those lessons and exhibited on my own; in my home and got my own exhibit spaces. I planned the menu, the guest list, I sent out invites and did all the marketing. The only time I ever sold art online was through Facebook when I posted a painting and someone contacted me and the same on Instagram. I had for a long time a Shopify shop linked to my website and just this year I canceled it. You want to buy a painting? You want to see selections? Email me: oktoberstudio@hotmail.com ... easy peasy.  Thank you so much for following along. I 'm very grateful.  See you at the exhibits!
