2018 Art Goals

1/1/2018

2 Comments

 
2017 has been the year of exciting changes: new home, new city, new goals. 2016 was the start of searching for a new home. John and I looked at many homes and this spring we found the perfect house for us in Salem. We beat out other bids and a couple months later were proud home owners. With the time and energy required for buying and moving into a house, my art creations slowed down. But now that we’ve moved, I now have a space to convert to be my art studio. Since relocating to Salem, I met some locals and have captured memories for them with my camera.

The past couple years I’ve done goals for the new year. Last year I didn’t set goals for 2017. I looked back to 2016 and found the goals I made and will be transferring 2016 to 2017.

My art goals for 2016, now for 2017 ...

1.) Book Photography Sessions - Families, Couples, Seniors, Pets. Yes, booked a couple sessions from new clients: senior, family, and wedding.
2.) Have a booth at the St. Paul Rodeo Art Show. Yes!
3.) Have a booth set up at: a Dog Show, Lavender Festival, Gresham Art Walk, Oktoberfest, Crafty Wonderland. Art booth at Englewood Forest Festival and met photography clients.
4.) Sell original watercolors. Yes, at St. Paul Rodeo and commissions.
5.) Enter paintings and photographs into local art shows. Yup, Oregon State Fair and actually won an award!
6.) Design and sell screen printed tea towels and t-shirts. Did it in 2016, but decided to not continue this year.
7.) Post and sell items from Etsy along with my website. Only sold through my website and decided not to sell through Etsy.
8.) Design something amazing with my photography/paintings - maybe a book? On my bucket list!
9.) Go to someplace like Yellowstone and photograph the wildlife with a super-telephoto (rented) lens. Maybe for 2019? But I had a Media Access Pass to the Pendleton Round Up.
10.) Find a house to live in and have a roomy studio. Yes, done!

My goals for 2018:

1.) Create a new body of watercolors utilizing my sketchy style technique.
2.) Create an art studio space in my garage.
3.) Be accepted into a local art show.
4.) Have an art booth at the St. Paul Rodeo.
5.) Create new photography Greeting Cards.
6.) Offer holiday mini sessions for clients.
7.) Offer private art lesions in my studio.
8.) Offer private photography editing classes.
9.) Find an art gallery to represent my art.
10.) Write stories to go along with every painting.

I have met you several times at the St. Paul Rodeo. Your work is so lovely, and I have made small purchases. I see from your goals that you want to be in an art gallery! 18 months ago, I opened Black Star Watercolor in Aurora and would love to have you come visit. May there will be a fit! My gallery website is not yet up-and-running, but if you go to my personal site, BlackStarStudio.me, you can read about me.
