Small Works

Ever since I became a professional artist, I have struggled with whether to make "small works" for sales to individuals and this time of year, the pressure grows to make things to sell for holiday gifts.

I think I have solved the dilemma.  I decided early on that I didn't want to become a "manufacturer" —  I wanted to make fine art.

But as a consequence of this, I have a lot of strips of my Stupendous Stitching pieces left over because I generally make my pieces much larger than they end up so when I trim them up to the correct size, I have extra pieces of my actual art.

I've decided to compose small works from these pieces and frame them in white and black mats.  Here's one.  They measure 12" x 12" and the opening for the art is 8" x 8".  I'm happy working in a square format because it pleases my eye.

I'm going to try selling these when I teach in person and I'm also going to put them into the new RiNo art store, opening at the Source this year and next year, at a permanent location at the Zepplin Station. 
​ 
I won't make much money since the store will take 40% of the retail price but I will be happy that some people who really love my work, will have an original from me at an affordable price.
