I AM PLEASED to announce that my artwork is now represented by the Agora Gallery, 530 West 25th St., New York, New York. Agora Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery established in 1984, “dedicated to the promotion of national and international artists,” according to its website, “providing original fine art to established and emerging collectors and catering to special events in support of fine art organizations that foster social awareness and promote the use of art in helping those in need.”
The gallery is also the publisher of ARTisSpectrum Magazine and the sponsor of ARTmine.com.
My paintings will be included in a collective exhibition at the gallery March 4 to March 25, 2014, with an opening reception Thursday, March 6, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. I know it is a long haul for many, but I hope that some of you can join me that evening.
How this came about is a refreshing story. Someone at the gallery found my paintings online in mid-August and invited me to submit a portfolio. It was recently accepted, and I finalized the agreement after visiting the gallery yesterday.
Agora represents artists from around the world, and I am honored to be among their company.

Russ – you are fantastic. I am so pleased to hear about this — it is well deserved! All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Thank you Martha! Much appreciated.
Russell:
This is about as good as it gets. Not only gallery representation in NYC, but somebody who simply found and loved your work on line. Congratulations and celebrations!

Russell, I want to echo what your friend Jeannie had to say! This is such wonderful news! I am headed to NYC next Thursday and plan to visit this gallery. And my calendar is already marked for the March date!!

Thank you so much, Alison (and family!). I hope you are all doing well.
Happy happy News. It seems inevitable that your remarkable work should become a part of the rare and superfine river where swimming is a lovely and ridiculous thrill.
Thank you Jana! Let’s get together soon.
This is the best news, best friend – I will surely be there, so happy for you ; )
So glad … makes me want to paint!
