On June 17, 2011, I was able to land a coveted gallery space at Artspace--the "hub" of Gallery Stroll--which is every third Friday of every month.

This is an exciting, new step I'm taking in my career as an artist. I'm taking small steps. This space is 485 sq. ft. Within the next 5 years, I will have a larger gallery space with my art "store"--where people can purchase reproduction prints, bookmarks, magnets, calendars, and other items of my art. Also, I will have a separate room for my studio--all 3 rooms in one building--preferably a separate building with foot traffic on the street.  This space is a step in the best direction!

ANNOUNCEMENT:  Friday, July 15th, 6p-9p, is my "Grand Opening & Artist Reception" of my new gallery space at Artspace (230 S 500 W, #250--2nd Level) in downtown, Salt Lake City, near Gateway Mall.

I am currently working on several new paintings which I will be revealing on the 'big evening'.  This will be a special evening--one of celebration, camaraderie, and fun

I've started a new venture in my art profession--which is to offer an "Art Deal of the Day".What I'm doing is giving people the opportunity to purchase a piece of art at an incredibly great price.  For example, I am offering a $100 signed, limited edition print of a piece of my work for only $25 for a few days at a time per 'deal'.

I've done my art deal of the day since March 5th, and so far, word is starting to catch on, and the feedback has been wonderful--saying they are loving the great deals on my art.  In this economy, art is typically one of the first 'luxuries' to go--yet it can be one of the most wonderful ways to inspire a person and 'rise above' the frustration and depression of the economy.

I'm happy offering the great deal because it supports my vision to "create art that inspires and connects with people around the world" and allows the majority of people to afford it.

Today I reveal to the world my new Fine Art Gallery website. This is a project several years in the making because of excuses that I'm not a web programmer--I'm an artist! However, with the help of a web editor program, I have been able to learn how to create the entire website by myself.

When we want something badly enough, and we're committed to making it happen, miracles are created.

Today is the day I move forward professionally as an artist--committed to my future in sharing my passion and talents--to inspire and connect with the world.

Channel 4 News Feature Interview

In 2005, Channel 4 News Utah interviewed me for my involvement of drawing portraits for a couple of families on the hit TV show that makes over homes for deserving families.

Today on Facebook, I posted on my wall the announcement of the date for the reveal of my new FINE ART GALLERY website. The date I've chose is this Friday, Dec. 10, 2010 at 12p MT. So, on 12-10-10 at 12pm, I'll be hitting a huge milestone in my career--that of actually creating my entire website all on my own--well, with the assistance of a template through Weebly Editor--and, the fact that this new website is just that-a fine art gallery--no 'store', no shopping cart, or anything else--just a site showcasing most of my work: current originals (for acquisition), a portfolio of past paintings, portrait commissions, pen & ink commissions, and photography.

I've been following the guidelines for a 'gallery' website from my research in Caroll Michels' book "How To Survive and Prosper as an Artist". In it, I learned that it's best to have separate sites for a 'fine art gallery' and a 'store'--not both combined in one--which is what I've been doing. So, my new site, darinjones.com is going to just focus on my work--'gallery-style'.

I'm so proud of myself for actually doing the research and creating this site all on my own. I've bounced ideas off friends--which has been so important for feedback because, let's face it, I know what I like and want, but knowing what others like and want can be completely different from mine.

Today I even created a temporary 'announcement' page on my current site stating the reveal and date/time of my unveiling. So, anyone who happens onto my site will see that a new site is coming this Fri. Yay.

I know this new site will further my vision of "creating art that inspires and connects with people around the world".

BRING IT ON!
