<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the reasons galleries\/artists don\u2019t include pricing on websites is to initiate dialogue with a client. We want to have conversations about what draws you in, sparks your interest, and how we can accommodate you.<\/p>\n
From personal experience, its also because\u2026.. people often don\u2019t read.<\/p>\n
Example: a client sees a painting they love online beyond their budget. They leave the site & don’t return. They may not realize that painting is 10 feet, or investigate pricing structure, flexible payment plans, leasing, or commissions for various budgets.
\nPerhaps not realizing it\u2019s an original, or as a client said yesterday, \u201chas it been pressed in a factory?\u201d<\/p>\n
In cycling, one way to build endurance is to put time in the saddle.<\/p>\n I realize we may be newly acquainted, your inquiries include my working history. What kind of miles have I put in? does price reflect this? Today we will cover pricing, investment, value, and have some fun.<\/p>\n For starters, against every art business guideline.. \u00a0I’m directing you to my contemporaries.

Art Dealers base their decision on pricing collectively on artist skill, demand of work, consistency, history of selling, etc. Original work is rarely discounted because it has lasting investment value. Previously I have written about gallery commissions\/ art fair costs\/ & benefits of having representation.<\/a>( click on highlighted text). I am honoured my advice is sought out by clients,dealers and artists. Clients inquire about expanding their collection, what dealers\/ galleries are reputable, how to display artwork, and growing their own creativity. I participated in my first Arts Council exhibit when was 14. Art gallery management experience in two provinces, ( BC & Sask) contributes to my own business success.\u00a0My work has been featured in the National Post, Homes Magazine, and covered in various newspapers. I was invited to Artists for Conservation in 2009, and on a 30 day boreal expedition in 2011.<\/p>\n I have written a FREE Ebook, available for anyone to download from this website.<\/p>\n Donating work to Cancer Centers, Youth Centers, hospitals, funds from sales to National & International Conservancy charities are various ways I contribute to humanity & conservancy.<\/p>\n Before becoming a full time artist I worked as a travel agent, painting a mural campaign to attract clients. Freehand children & office murals have peppered my career, including a massive pink elephant on the side of a container.<\/p>\n Artists worry I may not understand what it is like to practice art in stolen moments at kitchen tables. Fueling the work is persistence and purpose of making the world & lives better. Not a technical or natural painter, I work hard at improving my skill with the absolute belief the spark I possess for connection to that what lies beyond the edges, lighting & inspiring lives. It is what I have the most of to offer. When we talk of value in art, its important to focus on skillI, technique, mastery of colour & brushstroke, consistency & legacy. I \u00a0wonder if we should include artists who know of commitment to purpose, and stay the course? ~<\/p>\n Collection of Three new paintings shipped to the Hambleton Gallery in Kelowna this week!

\nArtists usually maintain standard pricing across studios & galleries for artists.
\nI have within my representation. ( at one point galleries in Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, & Kelowna).<\/p>\n
\nOriginal art equals scarcity. How often do you purchase something the only of its kind IN THE WORLD?
\nThis is just one reason why the investment holds compared to cars, bulk furniture, iPhones and lawn mowers.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Amaryliss--223x300.jpg\")

\nI have assisted professional artists with their gallery approach, marketing, to define demographic & their style. They reach out to someone who understands the pressure & demands of an artistic career.

\nI have waited tables and sold advertising, cleaned hotels & canned beer. I unloaded boxes in shipping departments and jumped out of helicopters during arctic exploration.
\nI volunteered at Women\u2019s shelter, marathons, search & rescue \u00a0and Ironman.
\nWhen time allowed, I honed my skill with one constant in my life, ART.<\/p>\n
\nThe truth is, hands raw from scrubbing public bathrooms still went home to hold a pencil.<\/p>\n
\n“Art is a form of love. Art is the ultimate gift. Art heals life.” Robert Genn<\/p>\n
\nSome of those listed above understand this. Robert Genn never had another job, but he lived his life in such purpose, and he devoted much of his life to freely helping other artists.
\n“When you sit down to paint or draw, you form yourself into a posture of praise.” Robert Genn<\/p>\n
