Clara Nilles - Job of the Week

Maryland artist Clara Nilles.
 Artist Clara Nilles has been drawing and painting since her early childhood in Baltimore, Maryland. Frequent visits to the zoo during her young life laid the groundwork for her obsession with both land and sea animal imagery. Following an 18-year-career in business and finance Nilles answered the creative call and took the plunge to pursue her dream of being a full-time artist. Around this time Clara began coming to Archival Arts with a series of  radiant, acrylic paintings and pastels for scanning and printing.  It is always a joyful experience for us to see what new creatures have flowed from her head onto her canvas. We recently completed a rather large job for her, printing over a hundred brilliantly colored animal paintings on canvas for a gallery show in Annapolis, MD.  Here’s to continued success, Clara!

MDArtGalleries.com Update

     I know everyone has been urgently anticipating the launch of our new art marketplace. I am probably more anxious than anyone!  I just wanted to give everyone an update on the status.  After many heartbreaking setbacks, it finally feels like the site will be a reality somewhere around the end of the year.  Most of the capabilities I wanted to implement will be fully functional, ie: searching the database by many categories, choice of basic framing with 10 different colors, and prints offered in sizes proportional to the original. There will also be some very nice capabilities available for our artists whether you want to sell on the public gallery or not. You will be able to see your portfolio of scanned images, download customized files for web and shows, see orders placed on the public gallery and order prints with our new online ordering system.  (Please note that if you have not ordered anything in the past couple years, your images may not be on the site, but if you are intere

New Art Marketplace in the Works

PLEASE SHARE THIS BLOG POST WITH OTHER ARTISTS!!!      Well it is almost a year after the pandemic hit and we are finally making the online gallery a reality! For many years, I tried and tried to come up with new products and services like printing on fabric, making greeting cards and designing books, but honestly these services were all very costly in both time and money and didn't profit enough to make them worthwhile. Just a few months ago, I finally realized that it wasn't new products we needed, I just needed to re-focus on the reason we are in business - to help artists sell their art and educate the world about our process. For years, many artists asked me to help them create a website. I had to decline because it takes a great deal of time to make a website and I was focused on creating products and running Archival Arts. Now I am laser focused on creating an online marketplace for our artists. But if I am going to do this, it has to be good.. really good! It has to be
