Over the past forty years  I have tried my best to  promote that idea.<br \/>\nThe internet and personal web sites have dramatically shifted the realities of how artists conduct business but galleries still play a major role in an artists life.<br \/>\nIf a client has seen a particular piece at a gallery, I always like to see them deal directly with the gallery to acquire  the painting. I believe that being fair always comes back to you and all parties benefit.<br \/>\nI live on an island, in a small community, and so I also like to invite people to my studio to see my work.<br \/>\nI do not undercut the gallery prices because that would not be fair to the gallery.<br \/>\nGalleries are one of the best ways to buy an artists work because  you would be able to view a larger selection of work.<br \/>\nThe reason for visiting the studio would be to learn a bit more about the artist. It gives you the chance to see what drives the work and what the thinking is behind it all.<br \/>\nIf you would like to come and see where I create, then please give me a call. I am usually around and would be happy to give you a tour of my informal studio.<br \/>\nYou will see  new works, unfinished works, the space, and also the little garden sculpture studio where my son and I create our steel sculptures for public art commissions.<br \/>\nMy wife, Elizabeth Wellburn, also creates unusual glass windows. She melts individual pieces of glass in her kiln and then creates beautiful designs, using a special two component epoxy to adhere all the pieces  to an old wood window.The result is very unique.<br \/>\nSo lot&#8217;s to see. <\/p>\n<p>250 598 9908 (Deryk Houston)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p id=\"caption-attachment-842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cAction expresses priorities\u201d \u2013 Mohandas Gandhi<\/p>\n<p>Open Art Studio &#8211; come by for a visit sometime.
