Artist of the Month
Congratulations to FidoStudio, January’s Artist of the Month!
Boundless: I know you really established yourself on eBay and now you're making more sales on our site as well. What tips or suggestions do you have for artists who are just starting to sell their work online?
Tom: I love what I do and couldn't imagine ever not painting, so that helps. I think that the new Internet world has become a great way for artists to be seen and sell and I applaud sites like Boundless for allowing artists different options. For the new artists out there I say Never give up. It took me ten years to get where I am but now couldn't be happier. Keep trying to get better as an artist and never stop trying to re-invent yourselves. One of my biggest suggestions is that artists need to realize that it is a very competitive market now and in order to develop a following you need to sacrifice a little. Lower your prices a bit and sell some art. I used to ask my artists that came to my gallery to show what is better, selling 300 plus paintings a year for $300 or selling two for $3000.

Buying Tips – Finding Art Finding a piece you like can be as easy as seeing one that catches your eye. Finding a piece that fits your budget, your space, and will continue to bring you happiness for a long time is a little harder. BoundlessGallery.com works hard to make it as easy as possible, that is why we developed our unique art-search engine,
The Art Finder. Here are some other helpful questions to consider while you are in the ‘Finding Art’ stage:
  • Size: Does this piece fit my space?
  • Color: Does this piece’s color go well with items already in the space?
  • *TIP: Use BoundlessGallery’s View-In-A-Room tool to get a real sense of size and color coordination.Display: Does this piece come ready to display, or does it need a frame or stand? . Knowing the answer to the these in advance will make for a better shopping experience.

    Featured Gallery
    This month’s featured gallery, like this month’s Artist of the Month, hails from the Windy City, Chicago, Illinois. You’ll do well to take notice of Chicago Contemporary Arts.
    From the Gallery’s Profile Chicago Contemporary Art continues to set the standard for original art. Both Kathleen Patrick and Joseph Catanzaro are degreed career artists. For over a decade, we have provided both young professionals and families, who have never purchased an original artwork, to join the lifelong collectors who have made owning fine art "a must". We continue to provide works that are both compelling to the eye and soul, as well as, accessibly priced.
