What Comes First? The Chicken or the ?

Image
Have you ever wondered what inspires an artist?  Like why do they paint a particular scene or subject matter?   Toss of a coin?  A dream?  I never really knew what came first the chicken or the egg and as cliche as that expression is I actually found out. With The Artist France, a particular work of art was serendipitous. I'm on the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters. One evening, I was chatting with another member at an event.  He knew I was representing artists and told me about his parent's upcoming anniversary. "Can your artist do something with wood or metal?" I remembered reading on Linkedin and of course savvy sayings on Pinterest a quote from Richard Branson, "If someone offers you an amazing opportunity, but you are not sure you can do it, say yes- then learn how to do it later!" This is naturally how I fly- I jump in, confident my wings will take flight.  But it's different when you're counting on someone else.  Li...

The Art of Conversation

Image
The Art of Conversation Meeting new people is always so much fun for me.   I’ve never understood why it’s so difficult for others.   Perhaps they’re shy.   A little uninhibited.    That’s not the gene I inherited.   Maybe it’s a New York thing.   True I’ve been living in the desert longer than I lived in NY, but having NY parent’s with the Brooklyn accent et al, made living in the Baked Apple vs the Big Apple, pretty much the same, sans anything to do after 9 pm. When I first began chatting with The Artist France we sent text messages and when we finally spoke on the phone, I liked the sound of his voice. Soft. Unassuming. He sounded like a gentle soul, yet playful and kind. Here we are:   Two strangers.   No face-to-face, and yet the conversation ebbed and flowed. I call it chemistry.   You either have that with someone or you don’t.    Besides chemistry, there is an ART TO CONVERSATION.   There a...

La Collection Mademoiselle

Every time I visit a museum, I play a silly game.    If I could have any painting in any given room, which one  would I select?    It’s difficult to pick  only  one favorite. So, then I changed the rules.    I could pick three.    It didn’t make the choice any easier.    I love them all.    Want them all. Neeeed them all! So now what do I do with all of the artists and their art I represent?  I need wall space and lots of it - but FOR MYSELF!!!   But, sadly I won't be able to keep every morsel no matter how much my heart races when I see it.  The joy is to have all of this amazing art available for the public to ooh- and -ahh and of course buy. The Artist France has an eclectic style of painting. His art isn't one dimensional. Rather he expresses joy, innocence, whimsy, lunar exploration including aliens & spaceships.    Shown below is: La Collection Mademoiselle - Insp...

Eye Candy

I love all things beautiful.  Whether it's a sunset, vast mountain view, the smile on a child's face, listening to jazz, these things move me.  So when I decided to become an artist agent, it was one of those ah-ha  moments.  Like why didn't I ever think of this before?  Kind of like what must have happened to the innovator of Post-it notes or Velco.  It's so simple, yet brilliant.   I love all things beautiful.  I have a degree in art.   So when my new client and now friend The Artist France requested I write his Bio & subsequently represent him - a career was born.  I was reborn.  You know, like the Renaissance - I had a re-birth. Heidi Goldman Fine Art Agency with THE ARTIST FRANCE I know we are supposed to take responsibility for our own actions, but you must agree on a certain level, that we are influenced by our surroundings and environment, right?  In the case of a career change, the serendipitou...

Art & Soul

I LOVE A rt. I mean, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE A rt.  Most people love the Impressionists.  What's not to love about Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Gauguin, Cezanne or Van Gogh?  Although I'd really love Van Gogh a whole lot more if he was sporting an ear, but that's another story. Who doesn't get a little weak in the knees when viewing Monet's Water Lilies? Or Renoir's Dance at  Le Moulin de la Galette?  When I was a little girl my bedroom had numerous Degas ballerina faux paintings decorating my walls.  I was destined to be a ballerina or lover of art. As an entrepreneur, I've done so many creative and fascinating things, but who knew becoming an art representative would fall into my lap, thus starting another addition to my burgeoning resume. It happened all so innocently.  I checked my LinkedIn email and lo and behold there it was:  A note from an artist who needed someone to write his Bio. (See below) As a freelance writer, I took this assig...
