What to do

Sometimes it is really hard to know what to do when you are an emerging artist. I want to earn a living making art but I don't want to just make decorative paintings. My work is conceptual as well as being nice to look at. I want gallery representation but do I wait until someone approaches me or should I be proactive and approach suitable galleries? what if I pick the wrong one? Is it all about who you know rather than the work? Is it about being a squeaky wheel and making the most noise?

Gallery representation is not the be all and end all but it's a good start I think.

Grant applications

Been so busy lately! Just started a part time job so I can pay for my art supplies, writing grant applications and still painting for competitions. I will start on work for my exhibition in August soon. I have some big ideas so hopefully some of them will come to life :-)
