You rock!!!!! I love your videos and I like your natural flow. I am an intuitive artist and drawn to people that just do it. I believe everything happens for a reason, at exactly the right moment. Its OK you look at camera, or in your eyes; perhaps make little mistakes, because it is making me feel I don't have to be perfect which brings fear and stops me. The world has too much judgement but some fearless artist are changing our art history especially for female artists. With your assistance I have embraced my inner eccentric artist and finally taking it seriously. I started to study other artist throughout history to get a feel for what I love. I LOVE the freeing, imperfect, bold art that empresses the artist emotions. I am draw to the stories and love seeing big messy studios full of messy art supplies and experiments. Some days I wonder if I am a artist or scientist. It took me a long time to figure out the WHY to my art. Money would be nice but the art is an extension of the artist heart and thoughts and emotions of the world. Against keep up the excellent work!!!!!! Many people are waking up to their gifts and making a difference!! Sherry, Campbellford, ON.
Thanks for the info about packing and shipping paintings. Your videos are so full of tips that I can't take notes fast enough. Gotta watch several times to get it all.
Thanks for another great video with tips and hints! You have given me some great gems that would have taken me a long time to figure out myself. Also, you are so funny when you talk about looking at the camera, or talk about you being distracted by your dancing; you keep it real and you are very relatable! Thanks again, Lori!!!
Thank you Lori! The story about the galerie in denmark is amazing and I think your artwork fits to the danish designworld very good. By the way...speeking their language is for the most people in europe impossible...realy so difficult...so good that the scandinavians speek english very well. Love the colors of your new painting on the left side...the green, orange and red...wow. Greetings from austia!
Thank you. It's nice to follow your channel. Here in Finland everything works pretty much the same. The comparison is interesting. I, too, have quit my permanent job and am a full-time artist trying to start my business.
Thanks so much for the heads up about DeSerres! I am on Vancouver Island and had not heard of them or the program. Super excited to have another supply option! :D
Fan girl here @angiekitchensart Thank you for sharing your story and keeping it really real annnnnnndddddd answering my question! I enjoyed this video so much along with all of your others.
Thank you for this video Lori .... I also use DeSerres for my art supplies as they do not consider my home a remote area (Manitoulin Island) and my delivery is free ... you are helping other artists learn the ins & outs of the “biz” and most of us really need that help ....💕
I love Deserres. I am small time but I find them quick enough if I plan ahead. Thank you for this video , good insights for an Ontario artist. Hard to find local information and keep up the great ork
Love Deserres! Also, as I'm on the West Coast, Opus Art Supplies has been super throughout the pandemic. Easy to order, curb-side pickup or instore shopping when it's been allowed.
You really had me rolling with the Danish pronounciation. Cute. I'm actually Danish (residing in Berlin), so I COULD help you out if I knew the name of the Gallery :P
@@lorimirabelliabstractartist Ah! Yeah. That means: It is the art or That is the art. Hard to explain how to pronounce it in writing, but let me try: Det = like the "de" in delicious (you don't pronounce the T). Er = almost sounds like "air". Kunsten = con sten. So: De air con sten. Yeah, probably easier face to face :P
@@EvaNichols28 Thanks Eva. It was actually a little challenging to do it in writing. The weird thing about Danish is that there's a lot of the letters that we just swallow :P
@@lorimirabelliabstractartist Thank you Lori - it was a great example of how it can lead to new doors opening when you put yourself and your art out there for people to discover! Here is a little Danish lesson for you 😊🇩🇰: Kunst means Art. Det Er Kunsten (name of your Danish gallery) means something like This Is The Arts. And that's why my instagram handle is evanicholskunst - since I am originally from Denmark, and I couldn't get evanicholsart I decided to go with the danish word for art instead. Have a wonderful, creative weekend!
@@EvaNichols28 Ahhh Eva's I appreciate that very much! I had a another Danish man down lower in the comments provided me the annunciation of the name as well. lol. It's always nice to be able to say the name of the gallery properly 😂
@lorimirabelli I’ll take a photo and tag you on Instagram. Not sure if galleries are open yet. I’m going to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art right now. Museums just opened again last week.
I find it interesting on the first question. When I create abstract art, I never know what the end result will be and just let 'colour' guide me, more than any specific idea.
when I just playing around and painting I'm the same...but when I'm trying to create a body of work...that's a bit different. I have one piece I love and then I want to create more so it becomes a body of work that's cohesive. That is when I'll play around in my mind with options. I still don't see the finished piece but I see options...
@@lorimirabelliabstractartist I totally understand in that regard. I really think you have a fantastic talent and have been watching you here and there as you provide super sound advice. I am not a traditional artist like you, but the principles of abstract art remains the same. I can see from a lot of your work that it does follow a theme to some degree, therefore, any art collector will be really happy to buy say 3 paintings from yourself as they will fit within any environment. Keep up the good work. :)
I'm not really. I had another great gallery in London England ask for a 6 month trial, but I can't seem to manage that load I have now so I haven't accepted their offer. They found me on insta too. I don't no if it's the norm but truthfully anything is possible.
Question: do you find that deep gallery wrap canvases are more 'professional' than the narrower kinds? I am still buying the cheap canvases 3/4 inch. I did get some hard boards but they have to be kept flat if they are big they warp or edges get frayed. Would it be better to just by the canvas blanket, gesso, and stretch? I got a small house. I watched the 2 shipping videos, Excellent job! Thank you for sharing! Love your work!
Yes I think the deep gallery canvas are the professional ones. In the beginning yes I made everything myself. I made the stretchers and stretched them myself. 🥰
@@lorimirabelliabstractartist You are right Lori! Sometimes I forgot about it, when there are too many of them. They also dedicate us their time, despite of disliking our content. It can appreciated on some way 🤔😆Thank you so much Lori! Have a nice day! 😊 Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your art life ❤️
Toronto specific question: Do you have any thoughts on Desseres vs Above ground on McCaul? From my perspective, I've always seen Above Ground as a more, grassroots, artist's art store. But did you shift or not shop there for any particular reason? I'm really ramping up my art supply buying right now, so I appreciate the info!
No I like above ground too but Deserre’s zone member discount beats everybody else’s prices plus they order me the big big bottles. I never used Deserre’s in the past because they never carried large size but when they contacted me and said they can order me the large sizes and ship large canvases, I was sold. Lol
Not all are this large but right now I'm trying to fill my galleries and they like my larger ones. hopefully this smaller I can work on some smaller ones.
I have a question: When you sell a painting to a stranger, by what method do you collect your painting money plus the shipping cost. I assume you have to know before hand the shipping cost. How do you do that? For you to be safe are clients willing to pay before they receive the art?

Hey Lori, thanks for another great video! Just wondering if it's really common for galleries to find artists on Instagram ??
I'm not really. I had another great gallery in London England ask for a 6 month trial, but I can't seem to manage that load I have now so I haven't accepted their offer. They found me on insta too. I don't no if it's the norm but truthfully anything is possible.

Do you like giving talk on your art and how you became a artist.
I'd much rather be painting....🥰
algorithm comment for you
Yeah thanks Nora!
Hello Lori, Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 I have another question - how do you deal with haters? If you still have any...
haha Of course....everyone has haters. You have to remember haters hate because of other things they are dealing with. It has nothing to do with you.

Hi Lori, I always see huge Paintings around you. Lol
Are all yr Paintings that large?
Not all are this large but right now I'm trying to fill my galleries and they like my larger ones. hopefully this smaller I can work on some smaller ones.
I would love to paint with you one day I am a abstract artist also I love your work
I have a question: When you sell a painting to a stranger, by what method do you collect your painting money plus the shipping cost. I assume you have to know before hand the shipping cost. How do you do that? For you to be safe are clients willing to pay before they receive the art?
Same way as any online store you would shop at. Credit card and PayPal. 😊
Hi Lori, I would like to ask a question about composition in nonobjective abstract Paintings. Are there any rules that you use?
I seem to like the rule of thirds. But I don't purposely use it. If there are rules to non objective painting I not entirely sure that they would be.
How do you initiate social media ?
I'm not sure what you mean by Initiate?
