January 2013 – Angel Fire ArtSpace dba Katherine's Fine Art

Well, I told you they were coming…and after some major image editing, and hours of upload, they are here. Music From Angel Fire Festival Posters are here! We have posters from 1984 all the way through 2012, though we don’t have posters from EVERY year just yet. A major inventory must be done by the organization before I’ll know if some years for which I have no posters are sold out, or if there are more hiding in the storage facilities. I let you know if I add more though. In the meantime, you can see in each poster product how many or how few are in stock right now. And scroll to the bottom of the page for more info such as shipping and how i handle it.

Happily though, you’ll find posters by Amado Pena, Sherrie McGraw, Albert Handel, Doug West, and a number of other artists of national and international repute. Plus, posters by Angel Fire’s own Jennifer Cavan and Sylvia Avenius Ford. The only pre-framed posters I have are by Sylvia. All the rest are unframed and only a handful are signed. The rest are not.

So, head to this page to see what we have and pay attention to how many we have of each. If you love one and there is only one in stock, better add it to your cart pronto! It will likely be summer before I know if there are any more. Unframed and unsigned posters are only $30. Dimensions listed are all Height and then Width, or how Tall the poster is, first, then how wide. The posters themselves are more than just the images shown. They include the Season, the year and other similar pieces of information, as is typical of most any poster.

Enjoy!

Wow, so much happened in 2012, and it whizzed by. Clearly I was so wrapped up in all of it, I stopped posting by the end of January and poured all my energy in trying to preserve the Angel Fire ArtSpace Gallery. If you follow me otherwise, you already know that by July, the handwriting was clearly on the wall. Traffic in the gallery dropped by 90%, year over year. That was a downturn that was flatly unsustainable.

From there, I chose to develop a new business plan, and transition the gallery from a physical store to a functional online store. I have to. I’m absolutely passionate about Art. It’s more than just the creation of it that compels me. It’s the conviction that I can provide beauty and food for the soul for the Art buyer, compensation for the artist and also for me. It’s way more that “making a living”. It is to me, life itself.

So, I closed the physical gallery on September 13, 2012. Scantly 3 months before my 9th Anniversary in business. And I celebrated that on December 16th. 9 years under my belt and heading for 10, just differently.

If you haven’t done so yet, check out the new site. I still represent myself and others, and am adding new work to it all the time. It’s fully operational with a built in shopping cart, but if you still prefer to call to order, that works too. I have a blog there too…and I’m laying out a work schedule so I can manage all the hats I continue to wear and all the marketing efforts I continue to employ. That said, it is definitely my intention to keep up with all of it. After all, there’s no more rent to worry about. And that’s no small thing. All together the savings mount in the $1000s. It was the right decision.

And so, now, here we are at the start of another year. May 2013 bring us all more peace, harmony and abundance. Namaste.
