GALLERIES: HOT LINKS: VISITORS' COMMENTS:
"Beautiful work Karen! So glad to see your show." ~Susan P.
"Lovely Exhibition. A credit to watercolours." ~Nancy & Richard O.
"Tres beau." ~Carole D.
ARTIST'S COMMENT:
"Art shows are a great benefit to artists on many levels. The obvious motivations are to sell some art, get feedback from the public and make contacts that lead to future sales.
The shows also are wonderful opportunities to cultivate ongoing relationships with clients and galleries, and to network with other professional artists. So many amazing opportunities arise from these contacts.
A less obvious but vitally important benefit to arranging exhibitions is that they create an external deadline and a commitment for the artist to create lots of great, new art."
