On finding a Gallery in New York

While in New York, I visited many galleries in Chelsea, Manhattan, and also in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was not the best time to be visiting, as many galleries were still closed after summer vacation, and many that were open were busy with new exhibitions. Those that had time to view my work had very positive feedback. One gallery in New Jersey that exhibits New Zealander, Daron Parton's work, was also very interested in mine, and it looks like this gallery will exhibit my work later next year. The owner of the gallery has suggested that I develop my cartoon limited editions further by making them even more edgy and whacky. I am quite enthused by this idea. He viewed my website while we spoke on the phone and became increasingly keen throughout the conversation. Previously being averse to landscape art, he was impressed by the unique pop-art nature of both my paintings and prints. He has asked that I produce some new cartoon images by April next year.

I have been accepted to exhibit at Agora Gallery in Chelsea, which is open to submissions from international artists. I am not sure that I will take this opportunity due to the fact that they have high exhibition fees. Ward-Nasse in lower Manhattan also wants to show my work.

Visiting New York Galleries was very interesting as I saw a range of great artwork by new and also established big name artists.
