3 – Show your support for the Arts
In addition to being a great supporter of my own work 
, I am also a great supporter of the arts, including art education, collecting and business. If you or your company has done something wonderful to help support the arts in your area, please share that with us, so that we may share it with our readers. Or if you have heard of something wonderful happening, please share that as well. There are good things happening in this world, and we would love to hear the positive.
Or Invest
There are several ways to invest in my work.
1 – Commission Custom Work
The majority of my work is from people like yourself that want an original piece of work for their home or office. I have been known to do portraits of people, pets, and homes, specialty work for nurseries and children’s rooms, as well as some pretty atypical requests. Pieces are affordable, and I happy to accept payments. As an emerging full-time artist, prices for my work have more than doubled in the last 2 years. I can only see this trend continuing as I continue to be booked for months in advance.
2 – Purchase Existing Originals
Between painting custom work, I like to work on my own projects that reflect my growth and exploration of technique and concept. These pieces mark my artistic progression. Many of these particular pieces will exhibit, but they are also for sale to art lovers and collectors. Each piece is registered with the Fine Art Registry and comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity.
3 – Purchase Prints
Most of my paintings are also available as open edition prints. Limited Edition prints are available on a limited basis and are offered first to members of the Cotton Club. Prints are created by quality scans and/or photographs of the original piece, the colors are matched to the original, and the piece is printed either on quality photographic paper or as a high quality, archival giclee print. Please let me know if you are interested in a print of a specific painting.
4 – Sponsor a Competition
I regularly enter prestigious competitions both nationally and internationally. Entry fees can be very expensive ranging from $25 – $100 per competition. View a list of upcoming competitions here. You pay the entry fee in return for the following:
- PR on the Cotton Studios site with a link to the sponsor site
- 10% of the awarded prize, if applicable
- A Full Press Release to the newspaper(s) of the Sponsors choice
5 – Sponsor an Exhibition
The time and resources it takes to prepare for an Art Exhibit are great. As an artist and an entrepreneur, I am prepared to enter into a partnership with an individual or company in a collaborative marketing experience. The Sponsor may receive the following based on the partnership agreement and sponsor amount:
- PR on the Cotton Studios site with a link to the sponsor site
- A Full Press Release to the newspaper(s) of the Sponsors choice
- Sponsorship listed on invitations and marketing materials
- Tasteful Advertising at the Exhibition and Opening Event
- A percentage of the total sales of the exhibition
6 – Host a Home Art Party!
I love art, but I also love people. Invite me to your home to share my artwork with your friends and family. You provide the invitations and refreshments, and I will provide the entertainment. The host receives a percentage of the sales made during the event.
Please contact me with any questions or inquiries.
Thank you for your interest!
