Episode 13 – Leggo my Ego

Have you ever had just one of those weeks where the universe seems to be saying, “Yeah, sorry, it's not gonna be your week.”

Two weeks ago happened to be one of those weeks for me as I experienced a number of minor arts related setbacks. I was all set to chat about those setbacks in episode 13 when lo and behold, a forth setback decided to put the icing on that cake of disappointments. I flat out lost my voice and was unable to talk, let alone record the episode, until just the other day.

Chalk it up to the #13 or the art gods saying, time for a break. Whatever the case, I'm back this week with that infamous 13th episode. In it I talk about those minor setbacks and my perspective on disappointments and how I handle them when it comes to my art business.

I hope you enjoy and Cheers!

One of the very first galleries to open it's doors to me as an artist was Gallery 360 and gallery owner Merry Beck. Over the past 20 years Gallery 360 has become like a second artistic home for me as I've exhibited with them regularly over the years.

During that time I've watched as Merry meticulously curates and produces one amazing exhibit after another. I've been in constant admiration in watching how she fosters strong relationships with artists and collectors alike.

As one of her artists, I've experienced first hand her involvement in crafting an exhibit and how that process starts with studio visits and discussions about the direction of the show and each piece to be displayed.

I've also been witness to her concern for and attention to the needs of clients, patrons and collectors.

In many ways, Merry is the consummate gallerist and someone that I knew I had to have on this podcast as soon as possible.

It's an honor and a pleasure to introduce you to my colleague in the gallery business and a terrific friend, Merry Beck of Gallery 360.

I hope you enjoy and Cheers!
