I am an abstract artist in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne (Werribee, Point Cook, Hoppers Crossing Etc) and have just recently started making canvas paintings after focusing on watercolours. I was wondering if engaging an artist to do works of art would be something Homeone forum people would be interested in? The benefits would be: -Supporting a local artist -Ability to create a unique work of art to your tastes -Lower costs as I am not represented by a gallery which means I don't have to pay commission fees (some are up to 30%) - The artwork would be registered in the NRAAA (National Registry of Australian Art and Artists) which comes with its own National Registration Number and Bar code which is affixed to the artwork "As an art lover, purchasing officially registered art works is your assurance that the work is genuine, created by a registered artist who can be validated through the National Registry of Australian Art and Artists. You can instantly compare the work you have purchased (or are planning to) with its registered photograph. You have the option of registering as the owner of any registered work, which for your privacy is never made public. Even if you don’t register as the owner, you can still use the National Registration Number as your record for insurance purposes."
