Galleries that dont pay their artists...shame on you..

We had a gallery in Queensland Australia that currently owes us many thousands...
They closed the gallery, had a sale and sold artwork at reduced prices, all without our knowledge..they still have 2 galleries one in Surfers Paradise and Mooloobar.
They sold the artwork in before November 2009...so it has been a long time... yet they are still to pay us
We have visited, have emailed, have texted and called...yet they have decided that they would rather fund their life-style by not paying their artists...
We decided to email all of the other artists that these 2 galleries also represent..and we started to get replies and some have sent the info onto their artist friends..but one thing happened after months of no contact/no replies to requests for payment the gallery emailed asking us to stop emailing the artists and promising payment...
We shall see...
Shall we name the gallery????
Look forward to your feedback
have a great day, stay positive

Artists and selling online

I have popped into Twitter and looking at all the of the artists sites there...on twitter, artists maybe around 1900...so really when you consider things...and the millions of pages on twitter..that is not that many...
One thing I have seen is the growing number of sites selling artwork...
They offer free membership and ask that the artist surrenders 10% of the sales fee to the website owner...which really is the same as what we are offering and when you consider the cost of credit card transactions at 3-6% 10% is very reasonable...
But what I want to know is it working...we have had around 50-60 people per day visiting our site and whilst there only a few artists at this stage...no sales or enquiries...however we are getting people interested in being part of our database..which is good...
One thing that we are offering is genre...we only want to promote figurative art...paintings, photography and sculptures...this sets us apart and with our website names http://wwwnakednudeartshop.com and http;//www.nakedartshop.com
then people that are looking for naked art will find Naked Art...

Would love to hear peoples comments, are you an artist and are you selling online...is it worth the hassle...does online images work to sell art...or is it only cheap art that sells online...
If you are a buyer...are you will to shell out $8000...seeing only an image online...takes some balls to do that
Look forward to hearing from you...
Thanks
This image is for sale a unframed canvas..1300 x 800mm for $450 plus postage

New Artist images...sculptures in bronze

Hadiya's Biography
I grew up in New York City. My father was a commercial artist and took an interest in
my creative abilities. I attended art workshops with professional artists starting at the
age of 5.
So from a very young age I was exposed to many forms of art in workshops, museums
and books, I met artists and visited their studios. I attended the High School of Music
and Art as an art major, after which I attended SUNY Binghamton where I majored in
studio theater. After graduation I worked for the New York City recreation Dept and
continued to study art at the Art Students’ League and the Educational Alliance with
Chaim Gross, from whom I received an award.
Since coming to Los Angeles I have continued to study and make art. I attended the
Design, Art and Architecture program at Santa Monica College where I worked with
assemblage artist George Herms, and others, I received my MFA from Claremont
Graduate University in 2002. I have shown in solo and group shows in galleries in Los
Angeles and Guangzhou, China.
My art centers mainly on the female form which I create using a variety of materials
both 2 and 3 dimensional. I present images which may evoke strange feelings and
fantastic ideas by juxtaposing materials and content in unique ways.

Introducing Roz McQuillan

 I have always been fascinated by people, their character and the individuality of their faces, which has led to my passionate interest in portraits and figurative work. My nudes are real people, not generic or idealized. I try to capture the essence of a person, their uniqueness and the way they express themselves in their body. 

My other fascination is with the drama of light, and the way it shapes and changes objects, enhances composition, and 

        creates mood.
