I am juried into a gallery In Avon, Ohio




I have been accepted into a very popular gallery in Avon, Ohio, The Pear Tree Gallery (http://www.peartreegallery.biz). Avon is an historic town, very popular to shoppers from the very prestigious suburbs of Cleveland.
So I think at this time it is best to be in a gallery which draws in lots of shoppers for their homes and families. The Pear Tree Gallery is a good choice, I hope. Right next door is a very upscale children's store. I was parusing the inventory and met a shopper who said, this was the only store in the Cleveland area where people who are used to New York and Atanta can come and find quality clothes for thier children. A little jumper cost's over $100.00. The area where the children's store and the Pear Tree Gallery are set up so that shoppher stop in all the stores.

The contract is for six months, so that is not too bad. The jurors loved my work and two of my pieces are hanging on the most prominent wall. They have a subscribers list of over 4,000 and the write a weekly newsletter. Here is the small mention of my work. I am now represented in two galleries in Ohio!

Now it is time to being producing all the images I have seen and wanted to do, I have a box of photos I have taken that are calling me!

Their website is www.peartreegallery.biz. You can request a newletter and ask about the one I am in and the owner, Liz will send ti to you.
