New
Ink Art
I
have two new drawings to share: the River Otter was commissioned
by the Sacramento Zoo and the Peregrine Falcon started as a demo in one of my ink on scratchboard classes. Both originals are currently available for sale. Click on either critter to
find out more and for links to blog posts about each drawing.
If you're interested in either drawing, or have questions,
please contact me.
To
keep up-to-date on my latest work, visit my blog, where I post new art, completed commissions and photos of assorted animal-related
adventures.

Find
Me on Twitter and Facebook
Social
Networking is Part of the Business
If
you're involved in the social networking
world, you can connect with me through Twitter and/or my Facebook Fan Page. I started with Twitter and avoided Facebook for a while, but I've come to grudgingly
enjoy Facebook. I'm not trying to convert
anyone who's not interested, but from
my perspective, spending time on the
social networks is fun and I've made
connections with lots of nice people
who share my interests in art and animals.
Not to mention that it's a fairly easy
way to broadcast information about my
art business. I love what I do, but it is a business and I'm always looking for ways to market my work.
The Fan
Page is my professional persona on Facebook, if you want a glimpse of the "regular (but still artistic) Ann", I also have a Facebook profile page with a feed from my Twitter account.
You
can also find my photos on Flickr, videos on YouTube and connect with me on LinkedIn. Although, I'll admit, I'm not very active on LinkedIn - there's only so much time for social networking!
Gift
Certificates
Now
Available for My Bonanzle or Etsy Shops
My
art is available on both Bonanzle and Etsy, where you'll find original works and an assortment of critter art on note cards,
reproduction prints, earrings and magnets.
I recently learned how to make gift
certificates through PayPal, so these
are now an option for my Bonanzle and
Etsy shops. If you want to buy someone
a gift of animal art, but aren't sure
exactly what to get for them, you can
purchase a gift certificate instead.
You specifiy the amount from a drop-down
list and you can either print the certificate
or have it e-mailed to the recipient.
Because
there's no single shop that meets all my
needs, I sell my work through a number of
on-line venues. For links to all shops and
to see samples of the items available, please

September
Art Show
First
Annual Open Studio Garage
Saturday, September 25th, 10am - 5pm
For
the first time in at least 10 years, I've decided not to participate
in the Annual Autumn Art Studios Tour. I just felt it was time
for a change and it's something I've been contemplating for a
couple of years now. But I really enjoy meeting my clients and
talking about my art and techniques with them, friends and family,
so I've decided to have an independent one-day show this year.
I'll send invitations to my local subscribers in September,
but I thought I'd put the word out now so you can mark your calendars.
Because I don't have an official studio that I can open to the
public, I'll set out my wares in our spacious garage, which is
what I've done for past Studios Tours. There will be plenty of art in a range of prices, refreshments and hourly raffles for a discount
on the day's purchases of in-stock art.
Original
art. Reproductions on note cards, prints, magnets & earrings.
