mARTketing® The Business of Selling your Art
Tought by marketing director, Kate Becker-Burridge along with professional artist husband, Robert Burridge. You can buy their books and I recommend them, but taking a class is a must do if you really are serious about selling your art. Another 5 Star class tought by the Burridge duo. Once again I cannot speak more highly of them. To meet them is to be truely inspired!

"You cannot wait until you get better. Do the best you can now, today. And you will get better at what you want to create." – Bob Burridge

Lauryn Taylor Fine Arts
"Lauryn Taylor Fine Art exhibits fresh and progressive contemporary art from emerging and established California artists. The gallery also features the vibrant landscapes and paintings of abstract colorist Lauryn Taylor. "

I first met Lauryn Taylor at a Robert Burridge workshop in Mendocino at the Mendocino Art Center. She was preparing for an exhibit. A beautiful and talented person. Her work is full of vibrancy and spirit. I get a high when I look at any of her painting. They deeply penatrate my soul. I have take 2 of her workshops and she is an excellent teacher. I can't wait to get a chance to take more workshops! I have been trying to get her to come to So. Oregon to teach, but she is very busy with her gallery, painting and her sweet family at present.

Mendocino Art Center, Mendocino, CA. Check out the list of workshops and classes offered on the beautiful coast line of Mendocino. I go when ever I can and as much as I can. I have never been disappointed.
