Hi Cecil ,

I have a suggestion for your artist guide book you mentioned . I am a professional artist like yourself , same age …for years I have contacted galleries I felt were a good fit for my work , and occasionally had a reference from a fellow artist to contact them . I feel that my work is mature and interesting , I have quite a bit of inventory and have good credentials . After years of this , I have gained representation from one rather unambitious gallery . Any advice as to how to break through the gallery wall ?

Thank you , Amelia Currier

I’d love to know how you silence or dismiss or embrace the negative mind that tells you “this is crap, don’t start.” “Oh, this turned out mediocre, what are you gonna do with it?” And then, we’ll, I guess like your art teacher, what DO you do with the mediocre stuff? Do you cut out the decent parts and expand on them? How many mediocre pieces do you keep in a year? .
