Thank you, all for the input. Yes, Marcus, name recognition is very important. I've decided to stick with the "Kimber Scott Studios" and I've added "Fine Art and Graphics." Yes, it's still one studio in my dining room, but who cares. I paint all over the place.
I took a perusal of the phone book to see how other artists in my area have approached the problem and it appears they all had the same "problem." Many used their last name and put Studio, or Studios on the end, or "Studio and Gallery.". A few used a "business" name. I realized after reading through those, the ones with the "business" name left me with little idea of WHO they are. Not good for an artist. So, I guess I was on the right track to begin with.
Now, I have another question. Since high school I have always signed my paintings with just "Kim." I started doing that with the idea my last name might change. Well, it has, three times. Now, I'm older and more serious about my work, I'm wondering if I should change that. I mean, I don't expect any of my work, up until now, to make it into any art history classes. I doubt any of it after now will make it into any art history classes, but one can always hope. Anyway, I'm wondering if there would be any consequences to changing the way I sign my paintings, or should I just leave well enough alone?
Thank you all for your help!
