I am officially being represented by ArtQuiver, a sleek, new online gallery that is getting a lot of buzz. As of today my gallery is live and you can view it directly at www.artquiver.com/artist/jennie-traill-schaeffer/gallery. They are representing some phenomenal painters and I'm deeply honored to have been sought out by what looks to be a promising venture. ArtQuiver offers an incredible marriage between technology and art. You can search for artwork by style, price, medium, size, artist, color and popularity. If you visit an artist's gallery directly, you'll come to a virtual gallery which shows the artist's work on a virtual wall with lighting and scale of the work by including architectural features and people in the room. I'm just thrilled to be part of this new way of buying art.
And, to top it off, ArtQuiver is running a giveaway right now . . . when you become a fan on their Facebook page and write on their wall or start following them on Twitter you'll have a chance of winning a painting, valued up to $5000 (see rules for details)! So check out my new gallery and visit their blog for more info on the giveaway, maybe you'll win one of my paintings!

I've chosen my winner and the TraillWorks Facebook page is now over 100 fans. Woo Hoo! Congratulations to cupcake baker, Jill Hrabovsky, of Blairstown, NJ. We've been affiliating together and I just so happened to pull her name from the proverbial hat. Check out her awesome desserts at The Cupcake Factory. She will be taking home the painting above to don on her walls. Stay tuned for a contest to boost the fan base of Wedding Cake Portraits. I'm thinking of an incentive. Any ideas, please share!In the meantime, go to www.facebook.com/traillworks to see recent posts.

Once TraillWorks reaches 100 fans, the page can get its own url, a way to make the page easier to find. The pic above is a painting I completed during last year's Berkshires vacation. I have no idea what this year's painting will entail, just become a fan, and check in next week to see if I've reached 100 fans.
Now you have another way to learn more about what TraillWorks is doing. If you're on Facebook, check out my pages: TraillWorks and Wedding Cake Portraits.
Currently I'm holding a discussion about the renaming of my blog and featuring the progress of a current wedding cake commission. Of course I will be maintaining my blog, but the Facebook phenomena is not to be missed out on and I'm having so much fun interacting with friends and fans alike. If you're not a fan yet, become one and you'll be privy to special updates and offers. Come on, join in the Facebook fun!
