Artist seeking commision work/ retail gallery

About Me

I work as a transportation manager for a furniture retailer M-F but on the weekends I like to indulge myself as an artist and antique enthusiast. Painting allows me to have a creative release...as well as to earn a little pocket money. I like to create contemporary work that is tailored to my client's color scheme, decor and individual tastes. One day I would like to own my own gallery and/or custom frame shop...maybe one day...

I have work displayed at the following venues:Dulce Interior Consignment Showplace 2914 Oaklawn Ave Dallas, TX 75219 214-219-5656Art is Art 2811 Henderson Dallas, TX 214-823-8222 www.pigmentandpixels.com/artisartHere's some pictures of the NEW Art is Art location, which opened on Sat. Sept. 1, 2007...

My Interests

Here is some of my work:

I'd like to meet:

Creative & artistic retailers. I'm looking for venues in the Dallas/ FW area to display & sell my artwork and/or get some commissioned work from the exposure. I like to surround myself with creative, fun loving people that are open minded and have a good sense of humor. I'm always on the look out for old school friends (PPHS...Largo, FL) c/o 1988 who remember hanging out in Art Class, Drama Club and avoiding Phys. Ed.(ugh!) I'm a HUGE fan of 80's music: Pet Shop Boys; Eurythmics; Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Culture Club; Erasure; etc.

Music:

Anything...depends on my mood and what I'm doing....my CD's range from Classical to Trance. Mix in some 80's new wave, jazz (Ella Fitzgerald to Dianne Reeves ) and even a little country (but just a little...)

Television:

Not much into the sitcoms & dramas on the tube. Once in awhile I enjoy a lazy Sunday watching HGTV; DISC; TLC; or HIST channels.

Books:

I love the HUGE "coffee table" books relating to art, architecture, antiques, theatre, opera or photography. I like the self improvement/motivational authors like Wayne Dyer, Dan Millman and Cheri-Carter Scott. I also like books on Eastern religion & Buddhist art.

Heroes:

Anyone that has overcome adversity (either physical or social) to make a difference in other's lives.

Selling out or selling sense?

I have been told I am selling out to the masses. Instead of creating for my own desire and allowing impulses to direct my work, I am guilty of pandering to those who will shell out money for my work. ...
