DEAR MS. MONTALVO,
I AM AN ARTIST CURRENTLY RESIDING IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA, BUT MY FAMILY IS LOOKING TO RELOCATE TO THE AUSTIN, TEXAS AREA AS SOON AS PRACTICAL. IS YOUR SEARCH FOR EMERGING ARTISTS LIMITED TO THE AUSTIN AREA, OR ARE YOU WILLING TO REPRESENT AN ARTIST WHO CURRENTLY RESIDES OUT-OF-STATE? LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF AND MY BACKGROUND, HOPEFULLY WITH SOME TOLERABLE YET INFORMATIVE BREVITY. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN HAWAII, AND RECEIVED MY ART EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOI AT URBANA-CHARMPAIGN (BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS DEGREE). I RECEIVED A MASTER OF ASSOCIATED MEDICAL SCIENCES DEGREE IN MEDICAL ART FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO. I AM CURRENTLY EMPLOYED AS A MEDICAL ARTIST SPECIALIZING IN FACIAL PROSTHETICS RESTORATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER. MY ART MEDIA FOCUSES IN 2-D, RATHER THAN 3-D ITEMS (AS SCULPTURE INVOLVED WITH WITH MY DAILY EMPLOYMENT MIGHT SUGGEST). I CREATE DRAWINGS ON PAPER IN BOTH INK AND DRY MEDIA, AND ALSO AM A PRINTMAKER (ETCHER) AT HEART. I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO REPRESENT A 2-D ARTIST WHOSE SUBJECT MATTER FOCUSES ON THE HUMAN FORM, THE FACE, THE DISTORTION OF APPEARANCE, AND THE UGLY AS BEAUTIFUL, TO GENERALIZE THEMES. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND A SLIDE PORTFOLIO AND RESUME IF YOU WOULD KINDLY INDICATE WHETHER THIS TYPE OF WORK MAY FIND AN APPROPRIATE AUDIENCE AND POSSIBLE MARKET. ALSO, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENLIGHTEN MY FAMILY AS TO LIFE IN THE AUSTIN AREA, WE WOULD BE GREATLY ENCOURAGED. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND HOPE TO CORRESPOND WITH YOU AGAIN SOON. PLEASE INCLUDE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR BACKGROUND IN FUTURE CONTACTS. HAVE YOU HAD SUCCESS MARKETING THE WORK OF YOUR FATHER, AND HAVE YOU REPRESENTED ANY OTHER ARTISTS YET, IN WHAT MEDIA AND SUBJECT MATTER/STYLES, AND WITH WHICH GALLERIES? HAS YOUR FATHER BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY BY HIS ART-RELATED ENDEAVORS? PLEASE REPLY TO E-MAIL ckmarshall@unmc.edu. BEST REGARDS, C. MARSHALL
