May Guest Artist… Laurin McCracken

Laurin McCracken is one of SWA’s most eminent members, known internationally for his jewel-like still life paintings in watercolor. His achievements and recognition stretch across the globe. To take but one example, last year he exhibited in the Beijing Biennial for the third time. As the only watercolorist selected, one of his works was additionally purchased by China’s National Museum of Art. “Underwood Typewriter” is displayed this season at the American Watercolor Society’s annual exhibition, Salmagundi Club, New York City. He continues to work with Fabriano papers as the US master leader in Italy, and manages to teach a series of workshops across the country as well. An architect by training, Laurin is Chief Marketing Officer of Jacobs Global Building NA. Consult his website for complete information on Laurin: www.lauringallery.com.

As a loyal and immensely helpful member of SWA, Laurin will present: “Marketing Your Art; including how to get published, getting in and managing gallery relations, pricing, selling your art, how to photograph your art and other business counseling.”
