Being brave

I've had several artist friends ask me about my recent entry into several galleries. "How do you approach them? Is there a proper protocol?" My answer to all of them was the same. Paint a ton of paintings. Paint every day. After you have a ton of paintings, email the galleries you're interested in with a link to your work. The work speaks for itself. 

 

I also put myself out there on social media. I post nearly everything I paint on several art related pages. These days social media platforms go a long way in exposing your art to the world. So be brave and put yourself out there. You just might find yourself some wonderful new opportunities.
