My Evil Art Empire



Ok, I hope everyone realizes that the title of this post is pretty tongue-in-cheek. Okay, VERY tongue-in-cheek.

"My Evil Art Empire" is what I call my art business--the locations you can find my art and it's general reach. It's funny (no really! It's funny!) because my art is not very evil. It's very happy in subject matter. And it's not nearly empiric. I'm still kind of a small fry.

But the best part? My Evil Art Empire is expanding! Growing! Taking over more corners of the globe! *cue diabolical laugh*

So where can you find my art, you ask? Well here's a handy-dandy guide!

First off, The Art Bank, my gallery home base. I've been showing there now for 2 years and am super involved with operations. I've learned a lot in those two years! I'm happy to have such a fun place to call home base, so First and Second Fridays--I'm there!

Kacia Palmer
But that's not the ONLY place you can find me. It's good for artists to branch out and be seen in as many places as possible. You never know when a fan may stumble upon a piece while in the most unlikely of locations. You know, like if you're finding that perfect designer bag at Butterfly Consignment on 82nd St in Indianapolis. Kacia Palmer curates the art there, and their walls get spiffed up, and my art gets scene while women shopping for high-end designer consignment. Deal.

Marye Lawrence-Robinson
Heading back down to Fountain Square, behold, Urban Kitsch. I describe it as a brick-and-mortar Etsy. There are tons of interesting pieces here, and vintage clothes as well!  Marye Robinson has had my art there for quite a while, and it's fun to visit with her and her wee doggie, Jojo.

Shannon Cagle-Dawson
The Dawsons have helped to build the Empire too! Rick Dawson has a few of my pieces in his office space at WFYI, especially the appropriately themed "On The Air." And Shannon Dawson currently has "Bouquet-Rose" at their bookstore, Cobalt Blue Press in Knightstown, Indiana. This after "Swimming Fishies" was shown there for a grand total of 2 days before finding a home in Chicago!

And my lastest landing pad for art is a basket of Wee Paintings and "Autopilot" at Everyday Artisan in Westfield, Indiana. A small gallery with beautiful architecture and no piece over $500, I met Lori at my December RAW event, and we've worked out the details. This makes Everyday Artisan the only other place in Indiana, besides the Art Bank, where you can find my Wee Paintings.

And then there's always Facebook and my website. You can always find me there. Ahh, the comforts of the 21st Century--I've done pretty good with the internet!

So thank you to all that have hosted my art! I appreciate the support and every opportunity that comes my way and gladly welcome more!
