Cory Trepanier - From the Adventure category:
What treasures lay hidden between the lines where few tread? What awaits those who step out into the wild? (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Artists category:
Most people view the artistic process as something of a mystery. Leverage that, and engage your prospective clients with good stories. For many, buying art is their escape from the real world. Make it entertaining and enjoyable. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Business category:
Find a business mentor. Connect with others who are successful in other lines of business. Bounce ideas off them, pick their brains. Maybe they can re-write a proposal for you. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Commerce category:
Develop a mailing list... anyone who comes through your studio or meets you at art shows or anywhere. It's the power of permission-based marketing. Email your latest work to the list, every month. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Environment category:
Unlike the urban development that I see taking over and swallowing up our precious soil, when we interact with our environment in a way that allows for regeneration and natural spaces, the outcome can be beautiful. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Excellence category:
Hunger for excellence. Continuously seek inspiration to make your work better. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Listening category:
Rather than listening to music while you paint, listen to the sort of wisdom that can help grow your career. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Meaning category:
Create quality art.... meaningful, passionate and high quality work! If it's not meaningful to you, how can you expect it to be meaningful to anyone else? (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Nature category:
As I look back on my fondness for the outdoors, and specifically the elements in nature that I find visually stimulating, I am surprised at how often the theme of dead trees arise. I guess it's that each one seems to have a story of its own, representing many years of living through everything that nature could throw at them. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Photography category:
Had I only taken a few photos and left, I would have missed this closing ceremony to the day, which was just the element needed to complete my composition. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Plein-Air category:
Nothing quite delivers the full experience of being out there like floating around soaking up the warmth of the early morning rays with a brush in hand. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Plein-Air category:
As the evening mist worked its way into the scene, creating a warm filter through which the lowering sun bathed its light, it was all I could to to keep painting, and not just put my brushes down and soak it all in. Which, of course, I did for a while anyway. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Plein-Air category:
Of course there is sometimes a price to pay. While I was busy painting, not only was my light dissipating quickly, but the fog had crept in slowly at the same time. When I lifted my eyes from the panel, I realized that I had better get a move on - and quickly. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Selling category:
Spend at least 20-30% of your time marketing. You have to pay for this either way. Either you pay a gallery to do this for you (taking an average of 50% commission), or you put your time and effort into it. Unless people see the great art you're making, they'll never buy it. (Cory Trepanier)
Cory Trepanier - From the Technology category:
A personal website is vital, but it needs to change and evolve. (Cory Trepanier)
