Rule number one, galleries hate being solicited to.

If I were delivering this advice in person this is when I’d open my briefcase.

Like planning an elaborate heist, it’s time to find another way in.

Then, put on your own show.

Invite art consultants and galleries.

Rinse and repeat, maybe even with other artists you admire until you have representation.

When creativity meets determination, dreams happen.
