A New Project Is Coming to Fruition!

2026-03-24T19:26:29-05:00News|

A New Project Is Coming to Fruition! My assistant Abby has been checking and cleaning up data for MONTHS!  I actually feel bad about it because, for me, it is deadly, dull, slow, and so detail-oriented that I might lose my mind! “What data?” you ask. Names, addresses, and emails of curators, directors, and registrars of area and national museums who might be interested in owning my artwork!  I have been collecting contacts for years and years.  Positions change.  Institutions close.  It has been Abby’s job to focus on updating all that stuff!

Had I known what I was in for, I would have chosen a different injury! […]

Saying “Yes” | Opportunity Knocks

2025-04-14T12:44:06-05:00Articles|

Saying “Yes” When Opportunity Knocks I just sent out a New Year’s Newsletter  from Susan Hensel Gallery + Projects.  The responses are mostly “Out-of-office” replies that need to be looked at.  But there are also sweet, nice emails from friends and clients.  The “kudos” that we all enjoy when then arrive. The social network responses about how hard I work.   I do work hard, I guess, between an appalling number of appointments and administration tasks. But I also work with great joy. I am always experimenting on multiple fronts at all times, assembling parts and ideas until, seemingly all at once, multiple pieces come together and are completed. So, while it looks like I suddenly made 3 new pieces, the reality is that they have been kicking around the studio, sometimes for months, before I have to put my foot down and “finish it up, dammit!” […]

The first session  of  Marketing, Communications and PR for the Art World was all about brand development. […]
