I had just sold my first international artwork shipped to the UK, it was a great moment. It wasn't always this way. In the 1990s, I studied art in two countries and returned to the US.
One of my first paintings "The Eye" I gave to a close friend, who threw it out with the trash when moving. I had spent a week on that work, all to end in the trash to save space. I thought what is the point of painting?
By the time I moved out of the country, I stopped painting altogether for over 10 years. What was the point? Ten lost years of painting.
Then I discovered I could sell on eBay and sold my first painting. Unfortunately, the glass cracked scratching my very first sale. I refunded half the payment to maintain my eBay rating. By the next year, I sold over 40 paintings on eBay. To date I have sold over 100 paintings.
Later I launched my first store front at Active Space painting and open for business. Unfortunately, this led to no sales, but my friend Prabin Badhia, a great figurative artist, encouraged me to join 4th Street Studios, where I sold my first painting as soon as it dried for $1200. I went on to found the 2nd version of the gallery at 4th Street Fine Art. At this gallery, I sold the very first painting in the gallery. I later worked at Salon D'Art selling art in multiple Ritz-Carltons and getting promoted to Art Advisor Manager. My continual training course led to all 6 Ritz-Carlton hotels to record art sales. I even taught my own Picasso classes at the gallery.
I have now done art shows in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Dallas, San Francisco and Berkeley and shipped art to Japan, Philippines, UK, Spain and 13 US States. I have studied PIcasso, Hieronymous Bosch and Velasques in El Prado and Islamic and European architecture in over 11 European countries and 4 American countries. Let me drive your collection with my continually changing styles and thought provoking art.
This is Art of the Real.
