Buy American Art, Not Cheap Foreign Prints

 While Christmas shopping this year, I went into several places that sell art, frames, prints, and art supplies. I spoke to several people there who were buying some art. They said the prices were good and they could use the art to decorate their home. I asked if they considered buying from an artist and they all said the prices would be too high?? I gave them a short lecture about buying American art from Americans and informed them that my art, made, painted, done all in America by a local guy, me went from $10 and up with framed prints at $50 and up. I also have canvas prints from $150 and up. They were surprised. I think the big stores just brain wash people into thinking the art they sell is cheap when most local artists have very reasonable prices. I urge each of you reading this to buy local. Buy American art, buy here in the USA and avoid those cheap prints done in China. See my art at the below links and help a local artist in America.

Artist Jerry Schwehm
Screen Name: figstreetstudio
Art sold at: www.cafepress.com/figstreetstudio

Nationality: US
Currently Living: New Orleans
Website: http://www.figstreet.com/studio

Born in the charming Old World city of New Orleans in 1948 Jerry developed his interest in art after watching a PBS program on Jackson Pollock. That inspired him to do his first canvas of colorful lines and blotches that was displayed in his family den for several years. It has since been lost. Over the years he experimented with other media-silk screen, photography, assemblage, but college, military, family, and work concerns took him away from art. After his wife died of cancer, Jerry retired from his law practice to do what he likes, cooking, canoeing, and art. After taking additional art classes he again tried assemblage then began painting his children from photographs. With encouragement from friends, he tried other subjects as well, including adaptations of Gauguin and Van Gogh. Finally, Jerry found his own personal style of painting, using acrylics in a Post-Impressionistic flare of bold colors and wavy lines.
