I really like your work! I see we share an interest in Surrealism, Graphite&Charcoal, and the movie " Naked Lunch." Have you ever seen the stop-animation of the Brothers Quay, I think you would enjoy their work.

Hi! Listen, I have about 6 months to prepare for my first solo show, and I was hoping you could assist me. I will need to have at least 30 paintings to display. If you could, with as much honesty as possible, please name 2 of my completed pieces that you feel I should definitely show. Also, please share 3 things with me, based on my current work, (remember be honest), that you would recommend to me for improving my art in general. I am fine if you post this on my public board because it may be interesting to others. The feedback from other artist on this website is very valuable to me. Thanks! ~Marianne

I am actually the photographer- We aquired these paintings from a gallery that closed in 1967 and have been stored since then.
