|
| | | The Gallery has welcomed plenty of tourists and locals alike, although, disappointingly, there have been some days with no sales. At present, our craft work is proving to be our strongest seller. We’ve also compared our sales with September 2025 and, surprisingly, the numbers are quite similar. Hopefully, as Christmas draws closer, visitors will be looking for that something special from the Gallery. We are delighted to welcome potter Nellie Oldham and artist Kathy O’Hara Smith to the Gallery. At the same time, we are sorry to see Taylor Watt and Bindi Welsh leave. We wish them both all the very best for the future. Christina and Camelle

Hi all exhibiting artists and craft people.
Signing your
workThis is an important step with either a painting or a craft
piece for “signing off” on completion of your work. Your signature is important
to the buyer/collector because it’s your artistic identity on display. It shows
the artist is taking ownership and a sense of pride, adding value to the work. It’s
also beneficial to include , with your signature, the year the work was completed. So then when,
in few years down the track, you become famous and saught after by collectors/galleries,
and they are researching your artistic history, your signature is there as a
mark of authenticity and provenance.
If your painting is influenced or is an interpretation of
another artists work and is exhibited for sale in a gallery, then it is
preferable and a courtesy, to acknowledge
the original creator on the back of the painting and still put your signature
on the front. That said, all artists are influenced to some degree by other artists and every technique
has pretty much been done before, so judgement is required to decide when acknowledgement is appropriate. Buyes are also likely to look for an artist’s signature on handmade work,
so don’t forget to sign your “masterpiece “. People want to know you,
especially if they are attracted by your work and interested in purchasing more.
So continue to create with pride and enthusiasm.
