When I was about 18, I sent out slides (remember them?) of my paintings, in envelopes I made from magazine cutouts, to all the galleries in Portland. I also sent a letter which said, in effect, “I’m going to be a huge star, so you can either get on board early and show my amazing paintings, or miss out.”
I didn’t get any responses.
Later, when I first started showing my work in Malta, a few galleries pretended to show my work (but didn’t really) so that they could keep a couple paintings as commission. Others bought all my work, but at scandalously low prices.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that I began getting represented by real galleries, mostly around Taiwan. I’m very grateful for the shows I’ve been able to do and the friends and contacts I’ve met through them.
