I most certainly would love to have someone else right now to do my marketing and selling for me - having a gallery to care of all that would really be a godsend because right now - I'm behind on my own marketing ogjectives, and that really worries me. Nonetheless, I find I have so much to learn about portraiture as a business, I have been very glad to through the time investment.
I've worked in marketing for 15 years, so it just seems unatural to not be in control of that aspect, so I'm considering hiring some marketing assistance vs. looking for representation.
I'm sure there's a ton of pluses that I'd be envious of if I would look at the gallery route more seriously, and certainly being represented delivers a prestige to your work that is awesome. Congrats to the offer in front of you and I hope it's the start of a great relationship.
