Hello, I’m Gloria Gales, I have enjoyed the business side of the art world since 1984, working as a professional art dealer and art appraiser.
If you are an artist who seeks to
enjoy the fruits of your labor in a meaningful way then get yourself a cup of coffee and sit down and read my blogs. I hope you find clarity and truth in my advice. I welcome comments and questions and will personally answer your emails: GloriaGales@gmail.com
If you are a member of an artist’s guild and you would like me to come and speak to your members about the business of art please feel free to contact me to make arrangements.
