Website Design
ART GALLERIES | INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS
I work collaboratively with artists ascertaining their vision, purpose, and approach while developing the structure, layout and design of their one-of-a-kind website.
An artist’s or gallery’s logo, mark, colors, and fonts are all important aspects to an artist’s identity and design. I’ll use what you’ve already established or work with you to design a combination that promotes and expresses your unique artworks and personality.
In the art world today, a digital portfolio is customary. Having an online presence that demonstrates your unique expression as an artist is essential.
If you’re in need of a website or would like to update your existing website, contact me. I love Illuminating Artists.
40+ artists’ gallery website
OVA ARTS is a gallery representing accomplished, highly regarded and select emerging local artists, producing original fine visual arts, custom jewelry and contemporary crafts. Providing a quality location and support for artists to promote, display and sell their work.
I’ve created a slideshow that represents a current body of work for each artist. This is the first visual. Immediately following is an invitation to their gallery with an action word VISIT and an inviting photo of the entrance to the gallery.
Each artist has their own page that provides an artist statement, contact information, and any online portfolios that may be accessible which open in new tabs. They also show a body of work, while some include photos of their processes as well. I’ve also conducted artist interviews, included on their pages and highlighted in an interview section, giving each artist the opportunity to share about their art and processes, setting themselves apart.
OVA Arts sends out a monthly newsletter that features two artists and includes their 3rd Friday event information while listing all upcoming art events and highlights that their artists are involved in.
charcoal artist Sandy Treadwell’s website
In 2014 Sandy Treadwell fulfilled a lifelong interest in portraiture by becoming a student of Ojai artist Dan Schultz. Thanks to a great teacher, he discovered an ability to draw and to capture the essence of a subject. His portraits of people and animals are done in charcoal on paper. Treadwell focuses on the landscape of the living, captured in dramatic black-and-white, that Treadwell endeavors to depict.
Upon entering Treadwell’s website one is welcomed with a slideshow of 5 works of art, each accompanied with a story. This group of stories changes monthly adding both interest and keeping new content which helps keep his website in top search engine optimization.
His commissions page includes a slideshow with works that were commissioned accompanied with a quote by the commissioner.
Treadwell offers a selection of printed artwork in the forms of note cards and limited edition giclées.
“Over the years I’ve learned that for me, to create is to live. In stressful times I reach for my glass work and it can be a savior. I’ve been enjoying using my kiln to make fused glass. I love that mosaics has endless possibilities. I can include anything I find that speaks to me, vintage jewelry and buttons, semi-precious stones, shells, drift wood, millefiori, dichroic glass, rocks, and metal, are only a few examples. I use spiritual symbols often and have come to realize that for me mosaics is a spiritual practice. It feeds and expresses my soul.” - Sherri

rock sculpture artist Martha Moran’s website
Martha Moran brings a fresh take to the ancient art of rockstacking, using inherently sculptural boulders with sculpted stone, petrified wood, obsidian, Geode inlays, antique slag glass, shrapnel and copper.

3d spatial sculpture artist Tanya Kovaleski’s website
“My work is about many things.
I don't know what they all are.
It's about being in my studio.
It's about 3-D space
and the relationship between me
and my materials in space.
Immediacy has to do with it.
It's about imperfections and ackwardness –
and other things beyond my control
while consciously trying to
shed that which is stifling or confining.
It's about “freedout” freedom.
I want my sculptures to be a place.”
Tanya Kovaleski
Kovaleski shares her study of color, materials, importance of spatial relationships to the movement and structure of her large works, from start to finish in her digital portfolio.
