Q. What contemporary, currently active artists do you feel your work is able to “have a conversation” with? Alternatively, what gallery or type of gallery (or company in your field) do you feel would be a good fit to represent your work?
A: Current active artists that I feel my work is in conversation with is Alyssa Monks and Taryn Simon. Alyssa Monks has an interesting way of showing photo realism with her own twist. Taryn Simon's investigative quality and her mix is fascinating. I feel that any type of professional gallery would be nice to have my work shown in. Even a pop-up gallery would be nice. Any place that would allow me to make a personal connection. Also Jenn Man's contemporary way of doing portraiture is really interesting for further investigation.
Q: Aside from your friends and family, identify the type of person who has complimented or expressed being a fan of your work. By observing the characteristics of this person, attempt to identify your target audience or clients.
A: The type of audience that has expressed an interest in my work ranges, I think my more "photo-realistic" work can be appealing to many different types of people.
Q: When networking at openings and events, do you think it is appropriate to mention your own work as an artist? When and how?
A: I don't think I would talk about my own work at someone else's opening unless there was a specific situation to present itself. The opening is more of a focus on someone else's work, although it could be a good way to network with other people.
