Recently because of a generous art patron's investment, I was able to take out an ad in the prestigious American Art Collector Magazine. The effectiveness of this ad was overwhelmingly positive. I immediately sold the featured painting with the buyer wanting more of my works. I have continued to receive phone calls about the painting that sold as well as have upped my visitor traffic. When I get more noteriety, my paintings go up in value. When my paintings go up in value, my collectors benefit. When my collectors benefit, I benefit and the art world as a whole benefits.

I am currently seeking donations to aid in my endeavor be able to invest in more ads in American Art Collector Magazine, because frankly, it works!

If you would like to support me in my endeavor to expand my market and explode onto the International art scene, or if you just believe in my talent and are so moved to show your support to a dedicated artist, I would greatly appreciate your donation and would put it to good use!

With thanks,

Melanie Cossey,

artist.
