Have you ever heard of Mitchelle Tolle? He is a famous artist out of Burea Kentucky. ( I don't know if Burea is spelled right). Anyhow, he has such an amazing story about how hard it is to survive being an artist. But if you have the dream to become successful at it, and keep on pushing your work, one day it is possible. Mitchelle is now a well known speaker as well. He speaks for our company about success a lot and I am sure I can get you in touch with some of his topics. He is an awesome speaker, cause he paints the pictures in your head as he talks too.
I don't know if this will help, but I hope you find what you're looking for.

I was a top selling artist for 25 years until I became ill. Old contacts are gone. I need to make new ones to start over.

Mostly what I need is an art agent or legitiment gallery willing to sell my work. Mainly a middle man because my illness limits my abliries. It's all I can do to keep painting.

Sorry but I am not in the art business, and you already mentioned that online gallery does not work. How about an online gallery with artists and then maybe you can contact them for help? I found this site with different artists

Just trying to help in any way.

Thanks but I already belong to 3 of them. they're in the same situation. Most are nothing more than artist hangouts with no buyers.

Hi Patricia
I too am an artist and find it challenging to sell my work. I am about to embark on an arts and crafts business, so probably not the same market as you are looking to sell in. I have met others artists who sell via craft fares, usually prints and cards, and some do fairly well. I don't know if travelling is possible for you to do this. I am also registered with my local government and they have calls for artists all the time. This may generate some income for you.
Sorry, but I don't have a clue about how to get an agent.
Hope these ideas helped.
