Most of us creators have been surprised at how the pandemic has affected the art market. With the collapse of the event industry, we’re seeing a renaissance emerge with brick and mortar gallery’s across the globe. There is still a part of me that feels guilt about the prosperity that the pandemic has brought to me. Even though I’m now busier than ever, I’m still maintaining a mindset of acknowledging and expressing daily, gratitude in a time of loss (I borrow this phrase from a fabulous artist I follow on Instagram, Daryl Burnett—@darylburnett).
At this time and place, I am pleased to announce three new gallery representations. Last fall I joined the Citron Gallery in Asheville, NC—the incredible artist Rand Kramer’s new studio/gallery on Biltmore Avenue. This spring I joined the family of Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, MI, and this coming Fall, I’ll begin a relationship with Hagan Fine Art in Charleston, SC. I feel right at home with all of these fabulous galleries and hope to maintain a long lasting marriage with them—for that’s what it is, a marriage. Long discussions about what is working and whats not working…coordination of social and work calendars, the general support of each other and finally, the acceptance of our place in the gallery family.

I’ll be very busy over the summer designing and creating new work for Hagan Fine Art in Charleston, SC and my long-time gallery relationship with A Gallery Fine Art in Palm Desert, CA. Lisa Dempton has navigated the art market for decades with a rich history and connection to Palm Desert as A Gallery Fine Art has been a family business with deep local relationships in the community. Hagan Fine Art also has a long and deep relationship with Charleston, SC—I’m so looking forward to working with them and getting to know the Charleston art scene.

The time ahead promises to continue to be uncertain with COVID being such a huge part of the global narrative, however, I feel rejuvenated by my internal endeavors in studio work and feel that gratitude in a time of loss every day as I continue to forge ahead with these new relationships.
Be well everyone…I’m sending lots of LOVE out into the world.
All the best,
~Anna Carll
