Dear Ms. Hope, I am a Portland-based artist seeking representation with your gallery. I work primarily in watercolors, with a focus on Pacific Northwest landscapes: mountain ranges, rivers, beaches, and farms. Attached, please find my resume, an artist statement, and some samples of my work from a recent series depicting Oregon rivers. Further information on my work can be found at my website, www.maureenmakesart.com. My work will be featured at the Seattle Art Gallery’s Pacific Northwest Artists’ Spotlight Series, to which you are most warmly invited. I will be in attendance at the show’s opening on Saturday, July 3rd to deliver a presentation at 8pm on the relationship between painting and environmentalism, at which point I would be delighted to make your acquaintance. You are also most warmly invited to visit my studio at 5439 Beauford Ave. I can be reached at 216-948-0876, or via email at maureen_carr@gmail.com. Thank you for taking the time to view my work. I will look forward to answering any questions you may have. Sincerely, Maureen Carr
