About me:
My name is Azalea and I am an undergrad at Arizona State University pursuing a BFA in both drawing and photography. I work as a full time artist in Phoenix. This is where I'll be sharing some of my projects from classes, things I'm currently working on, and other things that interest me.

Strathmore Artist Papers Banner

Picture

A few weeks ago I saw a post on Facebook that the Strathmore Artist Papers page posted asking people to share photo's of themselves working on their artwork. I posted a portrait I took of myself a while back then forgot about it. Strathmore later contacted me asking if they could use my photograph for their booth at the annual Art Materials Trade Show in exchange for supplies! I was so excited! And it was all because I happened to see their post on Facebook and reply with my photo.

Here are a few photographs of the banner with my self portrait on it at the show. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go; I don't think the trade show is open to everyone and it was in another state. You can see on the banner there is a quote that I sent Strathmore that says: "I make art because it's fulfilling and inspiring".

In exchange for letting them use my photograph, the paper company sent me a few pads of paper. I always hear artists say that you shouldn't accept anything but money for your work/services, but I end up spending a majority of my money on paper and supplies anyway. 

It was definitely really exciting being contacted by the company that makes the art paper I use, which is probably also one of the biggest art paper companies around, and seeing my portrait on their booth. 
Here is Strathmore's Facebook page if you want more information about them: https://www.facebook.com/strathmoreartist?fref=ts


Thanks for looking!
