Gregory Gorham

Artist and Author - A Lifetime of Art

Born and raised in Michigan, I grew up around water and being inspired by the wonders of nature.

As a young adult, I often drew and painted my natural surroundings. 

This theme continues throughout my work to this day.

My creative process has always been tied to my ability to draw what I see, to render my subjects in my own hand.

When approaching a new project, I visualize my hand actually drawing or painting a section of the image.

This experience is almost dreamlike for me. 

My intension is to create an image that visually satisfies and engages the imagination!

I’ve worn many hats throughout my art career.

I studied at the University of Michigan: Stamps School of Art & Design and went on to work as a technical illustrator at Ford Motor Co.

For the last 20 years, l’ve been a working commercial artist represented by Courtney Davis Inc. and Gango Editions.

I have been focused on my fine art work in recent years.

I have been involved with Clark County Open Studios.

I’m currently showing at Aurora Gallery, Bay Avenue Gallery, RiverSea Gallery and Bold Gallery & Coffee in Washington state.

Follow up Questions

I was picked up by an agency because a I had attended a very large Artist Market Show in  New York , NY years ago at the Jacob Jarvis Convention Center. I don’t know if that still is available?
 
I do know that the Atlanta Merchandise Mart annual show for home decor business like Creative Co-op, lang Calendars, CR Gibson, And many others have booth spaces in a multi story building were they set up shops to showcase their wares.
 
Google Atlanta Gift Show and see what pops up. 
 
Unfortunately a lot of framers that use to buy art to frame for mass market are no longer in business because of the Chinese market and big box stores that sell wall art in there stores. 
 
If you are just starting out search for an agency to represent you. Courtney Davis INC. Is my representative in the market place.

Always show your best work with quality JPEGs, photos or PDF, TIF.

When sending images always ask for the appropriate mega bit MB size. Most galleries like nothing larger than 5 MB per image. That size loads faster on websites than a larger file would.

A lot of agencies use WeTransfer file sharing service. 

Not to be discouraging but it’s a hard business to break into. 
 
Look at artists like Lori Siebert and Susan Winget to get an idea of what artwork is really popular.
 
And remember that you’ll never get picked up by someone unless you show them what you have.
 
For every twenty rejection notices you get maybe there will be one will to talk with you. But you’ll never know unless you try.
