The Gallery Owner
About
Hello and Welcome to the Fingado Art Gallery online.
I am a long-time resident of El Cerrito and have been involved with art, the art community or arts advocacy for most of my life. In selling my own art I have found that collectors occasionally appreciate guidance. Not so much in choosing work, but in trusting their selections and in building confidence, knowing that purchasing a piece of art will bring them years of enjoyment. Fingado Art Gallery offers both personal and corporate consulting services to help collectors with the art-buying process.
As an artist myself, I truly understand the artist's need to share, exhibit, and talk about their work. Working artists also need to sell their art. The importance of connections and networking cannot be ignored. Fingado Art Gallery online provides opportunities for interactions through our weekly Creativity Blog, online exhibits, studio visits, salons, critiques and workshops.
As a former art teacher I am dedicated to art education. I am familiar with various art techniques and media and I use this information to help collectors understand how a particular piece was made. This deepens the process for both artist and collector.
I look forward to serving the community and providing opportunities for artists to meet, talk, exhibit and sell their work.
