What are your thoughts on selling art?
The last 5 years have provided a shift in seasons for me.

I have sold several pieces and have high aspirations of increased sales.
What is the biggest challenge you are currently facing as an artist?
I am desirous of marketing to commercial clients and am needing to learn the best way to do so.
What has been the biggest victory or success in your art career?
Selling one of my larger pieces to a pharmaceutical company in order to raise money for AIDS orphans in Africa was definitely the highlight of the last few years and has also been the motivation to press onward to seek large scale buyers.
What are your short term artistic goals? And what are your long term goals?
Short term: Successfully complete Durham Dreams, a one year/12 painting project highlighting movers and shakers in the rebuilding of Durham ,NC. Longer term: Using this project to create leverage for my “late blooming” art career.
Anything else you would like to share?
I have developed a unique portrait venue. “Dream Portraits” are painted renderings of individuals dreams, goals, aspirations and ambitions in life. My Durham Dreams project features the “portraits” of selected individuals which are created after interviews obtaining each subject’s dream, favored color palette and artistic style preference.
