There is a place. Like no place on Earth.

A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger!

Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.

Which luckily I am.

Numbers Game

Developing a fan base is a numbers game. If you throw enough stuff at the wall, something is bound to stick!

Typical marketing reach is you need to touch a prospect at least 3-10 before they even think about buying your stuff. Reality is more like 25 times before they take action.


If you're my friend, it's OK not to LIKE my Facebook Fan Page, but I will be eternally grateful if you SHARE my link with all your friends.

You see, it's all a numbers game, the more people I can reach, the quicker I find my fan base.

I don't need Everyone to LIKE my work, I just need a few people who love it enough to buy it or share it with their friends.

 Please help me reach my audience. I don't know where they are! They aren't sporting tattoos on their foreheads saying I love Hand Painted Photography. There are no neon lights over their heads flashing Art Lover.  My only chance of reaching them is with your help. Please share the links to my Facebook website and my website with all your friends.


Who I Want to Reach:
Gallery Curators & Owners
Interior Designers & Decorators
Art Consultants
Corporate Art Buyers
Art Lovers
People that like pretty places

If you know someone from the list above, I would really be grateful for an introduction.

Reprieved!

New Opening Reception Date!

Due to conflict with the PGA Seniors Tournament, the opening of the Low Tides & Bucolic Daze exhibit at the Hillman Center for Performing Arts has be rescheduled to: 

Thursday, July 11, from 7pm - 9pm






Hopewell Rocks

 You see, The Fox Chapel Country Club is hosting the 2013 PGA Seniors Tournament. The Hillman Center is across the street from the club and much of the parking is needed for the PGA. Couple that with limited access to Fox Chapel Road and you have a nightmare. And to be quite honest, I would like to have some warm bodies show up for the opening!

The exhibit will be unofficially open for viewing if you want to take a break from the Tournament and wander across the street to the Hillman Center.

If you are attending the Seniors, you'll find me trailing Freddie Couples, Mark Calcavecchia (although Brenda is really my hero here!) and of course Greg The Shark Norman.

Hurry! Good People On Sale!

Trend is men will go first and women will be hired at 70% salaries

Remember in the 70s when our dads got laid off? Our moms went to work while our dads did work that was below their skill set and well below their salaries.

Well, it’s happening again!

What are you gonna do?

FIRST and Foremost, Get your list of connections in order before you are asked to hire your replacements.

Understand the importance of your contact list. Most folks undervalue the LIST.

What if your competitor offers you a choice position? Now how important is your List?

Or what if you realize the cutbacks your current company is implementing will sacrifice quality and you decide that you want to start a competing company and bring your Top clients with you. Now how valuable is that List?

Don’t just consider if they can offer you a new position or business, but can they connect you to the RIGHT person. It’s not just who you know, but rather who THEY know.

Next, start reconnecting, let people know that things are shaky at your current employers and you are exploring your options.

Referability Expert and Author, Michelle Donovan, wrote a great article on activating your network after a layoff. This is a MUST READ ever if you think you’re safe!

In the last week, I’ve heard three different very successful professionals talk about the importance of relationships in achieving their success.

Think about it for a moment.

Relationships, both personal and professional really matter. In business, Word of Mouth is still the most effective way to find quality products or services.

How many times have you asked friends, family or co-workers, Who do you know that . .

People Do Business With People They Know, Like and Trust.

How strong are those relationships? Both Personal and Professional Relationships. What can you do to strengthen them?

How about sending a Real Greeting Card? It’s on me! FOR FREE!
