Big News!

Many of you know that in my twenties I ran a privately owned art gallery called A Piece of Work, Inc. It was my dream job, and I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity at such a young age.

​I learned so much about networking, event planning, advertising, and more! It turns out I truly love the business side of art!

This is the water cup I use at work!

Since that gallery closed its doors in 2014, I've wanted to work in a gallery again, and in more recent years, I've been dreaming about owning my own gallery.

Now there are pros and cons to owning an art gallery, as there are in all things in life.

Pro - I already have the knowledge and experience to run it.

Con - I already have a full time job, so would this be a second job with limited open hours? Would Jon run it for me while I'm at work? (The answer to that is NO.)

Pro - I'd have my own space to host art events, and wouldn't need someone else to host me. (Shout out to Lee Shiney though - the old school he lives in is AMAZING and you should go see it!)

Con - I'd have a mortgage, utilities, property taxes... Would my sales each month be able to cover that?

Pro - If it's windy or raining, I don't have to worry about a tent.

...And on and on and on in my inner monologue. I did talk it over with Jon, but nothing was really decided... until recently.

What if I had a mobile gallery?

I could get a trailer and remodel the inside to be a clean, classy space for art display! And bonus, I get to use it to store my display tables, easels, tent, card rack, etc. which gives me more space in my home studio - and trust me, square footage in my studio is limited and PRECIOUS.

That shape reminds me of something... ;)

Allow me to introduce MAGS, my Mobile Art Gallery! She doesn't look like much now, but I'll document my journey from start to finish with the remodel. I don't have a specific date for completion, so I'm just working on it as I have the time.

​I am so excited to be taking on this project, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!
