Ceramics crunch on
Hello everyone. I am just now recouping from a busy several weeks of art shows. The art in the park show last Saturday was wet! However, even though there were few people who ventured out, I did very well. I am seeing sales in my high end jewelry this year and I am very pleased about that.
I started a new adventure in ceramics at OCC. I am in my second class this summer and have fallen in love with playing in the mud. This week is the last week to finish pieces and I was there all day…

Everson 60/60
On Friday, June 17 I had the pleasure of participating in the Everson Museum's third annual 60/60 event. All art created during the even was donated to a raffle to benefit the museum. The effort to mobilize and perform in public was well worth it! I thoroughly enjoy interacting with our patrons. I hope to be back again next year!
I was inspired by the devastating tsunami in March that destroyed much of Japan's eastern coast. Though my sympathy goes out to all of Japan for…

Keuka Arts Festival Award
How could I forget to tell you all of my recent achievement! I tied for third place best in show over 80 plus other fine artists and craftsman last weekend! It was a thrill for me as the show was jurried and the level of talent was amazing. There were metal workers, ceramists, wood workers, both carving and turning, oil paintings, fiber, watercolors, and more. I was especially taken with the man who I tied third place with. He hand carved wood, which he then transferred to paper for prints.…

Art on the Porches is an art show, sale and celebration of the historic Strathmore neighborhood featuring local artists, such as myself, who design and create original works of art. We will be displaying and selling our work from the spacious porches and lawns of the beautiful homes along Ruskin Ave. It… Continue

Bloody House
Hi folks,
Some here will remember me. I've been away on some writing adventures. I was originally involved on numerous sites, and had to cut back to concentrate on my bread and butter, my published works. Since I've been gone, I've sold numerous poems and short stories. Add to this a few books I've had published recently as well as all of the Editing I've been doing on other writer's short stories and Novellas. My book cover work is advancing too.

The truth behind NETWORKING
Notes about NETWORKING from "The Profitable Artist" by Artspire
Networking
“...is about developing a base of people who will support your efforts and want you to succeed....
Networking is about finding and building relationships with people you care about who are linked to new opportunities, new markets...”
Attend art openings and start making new friends.
“A genuine interest in other people delivers a genuine interest in you.”

Tip
At the Hang Local, Artist and curator Ty Marshal asked me this question:
Maria, you had a lot of art shows last year. What is your secret?
At that time my only response was networking.
Networking did help me find new opportunities to show my art in different venues,
but I realize that I didn't five a complete answer.
The real "secret" that helps me, and many other professional artists,
to showcase my work is the awareness of the many web sites that publish opportunity listings.
Here are some that I check out weekly:

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to post an update about the Delightful Devas. Although we are still selling the Delightful Devas as canvas wall hangings, the Devas decided they would like to see more of the world.
