Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. Dave Barry
I've found my role model!
James Bacchi, owner of ArtHaus, recently voted the favorite gallery in San Francisco, has some things to say to artists- LISTEN UP because this is what I tell everybody who will listen. Now maybe you won't think I made it up!:
' ArtHaus receives up to 10 submissions from artists on a daily basis. Our advice to artists is to learn everything possible about each gallery you approach prior to contacting them. If you can’t envision your work in a particular gallery, take them off your list. Most often you have one shot, so give it your best. Never walk into a gallery with work in hand and ask to be seen, and do not send out blanket emails. Email each gallery, requesting information about their review guidelines. Most important is your pricing. The retail price for your art should be consistent in all the galleries representing your work, the prices you post in your studio and any websites you offer your work on.Seems more and more artists are offering their work on the web at prices far below their gallery prices. This is the biggest mistake an artist can make in regard to their career. You can’t have it both ways.'

Introvert Forever
Now this is my kind o’ porcelain collection! These gorgeous plates are the work of Belgian artist Jan De Vliegher {who happens to live in one of my most favorite cities in Europe – Bruges, Belgium}. The moment I saw his work I was totally in love with the simple subject-matter, the loose brush strokes – that strangely provide so much detail, AND the scale. Oh, the scale:

One of the things you too can do with iron-on transfers!
