So, this is my 'fancy' sketchbook in which I do images that are just for challenging myself. It is 11"x 14" so it is large for a sketchbook. This page I wanted to do something pretty. In one of the classes I am participating in, everyone does such beautiful women faces and I do real (mostly old) people. This particular lesson was on using gold foil which of course I could not get on smoothly but what the heck! My face in reality is not as good as a lot of the people but it is my style and my husband loves it. So that counts for something....
This sketchbook is kind of treated as a journal, but I tend to obsessively finish the pages, a journal should probably be looser. I am in no hurry so I sporadically work in it. You can see the opposite page above is totally different from the pretty Madonna. Sometimes, I am tempted to cut out a page and frame it BUT I have not allowed myself to do that yet. It is a 'collection'!

Here is a glimpse inside of my sketchbook...all mediums, all techniques and lots of experimentation....
Dear Diana,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Manhattan! Recently, I was introduced to your outstanding work by one of our contributing curators. After reviewing your art online, I would like to discuss an opportunity of your possible solo exhibition at our space.
ARTIFACT is located on the Lower East Side — the most exciting art district in Manhattan with over 200 art galleries. It is close to the New York landmark Tenement Museum, and a short walk from the New Museum.
Our ground floor space has a dramatic exposure to a busy pedestrian traffic, which allows to exhibit the remarkable work of artists like you at the venue with a maximum capacity for proper presentation, marketing and sales. See it on http://vimeo.com/78958772.
As a result of our 22-year experience in the art world, we have developed business relationships and connections with some of the world's most important art collectors, critics and curators. They include Agnes Gund http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Gund, philanthropist and President Emerita of MoMA, Mace Neufeld http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0626883/, Hollywood producer and collector. Among our collectors are Peter Marino http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/08/peter-marino-knows-how-to-design-stores.html , architect, and Clarence Avant (founder and president of Motown Records) and many others. Moreover, we have been collaborating with global corporations, such as Microsoft, American Express and AOL.
During a three or two-week solo exhibition the gallery covers essential expenses related to our space, installation, gallery infrastructure, printing and mailing of invitations and an opening reception. To further promote exhibitions, artists consider additional marketing options which they can afford, including an exhibition catalog at just $15 per book. Artists cover expenses related to shipping of their artwork.
Shall you decide that our space is an appropriate venue for your possible exhibition, I would be happy to provide further details. For more information please visit http://artifactnyc.net, and https://www.facebook.com/artifactnyc.
Warm regards,
Martin Bernstein
