for examples: A work on paper is warping inside a frame due to excessive humidity in the environment...(the 2nd floor camping section of Canadian Tire has Non-electric dehumidifiers for cheapo- it is just a container that you put these crystals into & then the water gathers beneath...I have them in my studio & storage areas & change the crystals regularly...
More for examples: A large painting of fruit later seemed to reveal that the banana was more than a banana- an accidental Freudian slip on my part...New works were offered at the old purchase prices- a nice deal as an "I'm sorry"...
more examples: A cold wax with oil paint painting got chipped by a gallery dealer who didn't realize that the cold wax made the painting more fragile than a regular oil...I repainted the area in a new colour, rather than try to match an impossible Bellini peach mix that had already faded a little...
Phone: I Do answer the phone, or get your voicemails & call you back...(chances are you will get voicemail because I don't like to interrupt a working train of thought for a call)...So leave a message at 416-924-9725 if you want to chat about something, & I will get back to you when I am free...(tell me when to call back & maybe what it's about...)
ArtAnywhere: Sari is currently experimenting with a new "gallery" for lack of a better word...They are called ArtAnywhere & the calls go directly to the clients who have pre-selected parameters...The "show" occurs on the client location itself, as opposed to in a third party location...This is a non-exclusive agreement...
Secondary market: Sari's work has entered the secondary market, which means that some people who had her work in collections may have passed away & are selling...The painting titled "Jardin" is available on the secondary market at the moment...(See Projects-since the artist has been made aware of this availability, she can field your inquiries to the seller if you are interested...) Some other works have been sold already by collectors who are moving to smaller office spaces...Resale values are still soft (Aug.2011), so she advises to hold on a little longer if you don't have to sell...
Email the artist at [email protected] (Sari Grove) if you would like to make an offer on an available work(see Projects page) or have them in your gallery show...
