[Paddlewise] Artist's change of orbit

Hi paddlewisers,

I don't know if this is a verboten commercial post or not, but let's see
what happens.

One of my steady paddling partners, Jeanette, is an artist. In the past she
painted landscapes and still lifes and had some galleries in the North East
that sold her work. Then she moved to Florida and her landscapes started
being painted from the cockpit of a kayak. Well not painted really, she
takes a photograph and paints from that. Then some paddlers started showing
up in her paintings and some wildlife.

Last week she finished a 42 x 33 painting of a green sea turtle and sent me
a gpg of it. I liked her landscapes, but I saw this and thought it was a
painting with a mission. You can see it here:

Anyway, I'm looking for ideas for helping her find new outlets for her
paintings. The same old galleries are not into the paddling paintings, and I
think this sea turtle could be the start of a new direction for her, if she
can figure out how to sell this type of painting. I thought since we
paddlers are so involved with the sea, there was a good chance one of us
might know someone who would be interested. If you know someone or some
organization she should contact I'd be grateful for that information. Back
channel might be best.

Thanks for the help.

Carey
