frequently asked questions

What is an "Artist Rep"?

Many of the artists I represent need assistance promoting and selling their art for a variety of reasons:

  • They don't have time or energy to promote
  • They don't like promoting themselves or talking to the public
  • They want to expand into interior design, corporate or other areas outside Louisville, KY

I am a broker of original, high-quality art.  I help promote and sell the art work of all the clients on this website.  (Many of them are friends and some are family).

How are you paid?

I charge a commission fee on the sales of the art.  I negotiate with each artist a mutually satisfactory agreement.  (I also may look at additional fees at hosting my website in the future). 

How may an artist seek representation?

I currently have a wonderful group of artist clients.  If time allows, I am willing to arrange an initial appointment & related fee, to meet with the artist to review their portfolio and to learn what their objectives are.  I cannot guarantee I will take on an artist until we meet and discuss details.

Please email me a request for an appointment.  I will return the call as soon as I can, but appointments may be scheduled weeks out from the date of the call.

Do you represent any giclee or prints?

I sell original art as much as possible.  Currently only one client has limited prints at Remarkable Interiors since she is building her inventory for a national shows.  I do not judge giclee or other forms of reproduction. 

Do you have shows for the artists?

Yes!  I had an open house on Thursday, Feb. 9th at my home in the Highlands.  I took down all our own art and hung and displayed art from all my clients.  This was an opportunity for the artists to meet the public as a group.  It was a successful evening as more than 58 people attended!  Some art was sold and many more great connections were made.   I plan to have an open house quarterly.

I also collaborate with other galleries and stores regarding group or solo exhibits.  I have had art displayed at Fb3 on E. Market and will co-host a solo show at Deven 7 Studios & Custom Picture Framing: 825 S. Floyd Street, Louisville, KY.
