You believe in my work and I will help promote you!
After a year full of complete life changes, including loosing a house, a cat, and my mother-in-law, having a beautiful baby boy, and rebuilding everything, I am creating my website anew to reflect my desire to be an extremely successful artist.
See? Isn't that awesome?
Please help me out. It’s free 
…or you could invest in my work, but that’s later on down the page.
1 – Request a Link
Let’s link to each other! It’s good for our SEO. In layman’s terms, that means we become cooler in the eyes of Google.
In order for me to link to your site, you must have content on your site that will be of special interest to my visitors, and you must place a reciprocal link on your site. Links to your site from outside sources help to improve search engine optimization, so what are you waiting for?
Please copy and paste the HTML link below onto your site, and then shoot me an email detailing your link url and title. Spammers will be ignored, so don’t even bother.
MyPreferredHTML Link :
<a href=”http://www.rachelmcotton.com/”>Fine Art Paintings by Rachel M Cotton</a> Savannah artist sharing artwork and tips for creative growth
2 – Write a short blurb about me
You know me!
If I have done work for you in the past or if we grew up in the same town, write a your impression, your memories, or your kudos abut me and be featured in a blog post on my new site. Again this helps us both. I get an awesome blog post and you get some much deserved PR! Email your writing to rmcotton.art@gmail.com.
3 – Show your support for the Arts
In addition to being a great supporter of my own work, I am also a great supporter of the arts, including art education, collecting and business. If you or your company has done something wonderful to help support the arts in your area, please share that with us, so that we may share it with our readers. Or if you have heard of something wonderful happening, please share that as well. There are good things happening in this world, and we would love to hear the positive.
Or Invest in Artwork or Sponsoring An Artist (Me).
There are also several ways to invest in my work.
1 – Commission Custom Work
Butterfly Ballerina - A Commission
The majority of my work is from people like yourself that want an original piece of work for their home or office. I have been known to do portraits of people, pets, and homes, specialty work for nurseries and children’s rooms, as well as some pretty atypical requests. Pieces are affordable, and I happy to accept payments. As an emerging full-time artist, prices for my work have more than doubled in the last 2 years. I can only see this trend continuing as I am now in Gallery 11 in The City Market Art Center in Savannah and my commission availability is decreasing rapidly.
2 – Purchase Existing Originals
Between painting custom work, I like to work on my own projects that reflect my growth and exploration of technique and concept. These pieces mark my artistic progression. Many of these particular pieces will exhibit, but they are also for sale to art lovers and collectors. Each piece is registered with the Fine Art Registry and comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity.
3 – Purchase Prints
Your Dad may like this one!
Most of my paintings are also available as open edition prints. Limited Edition prints are available on a limited basis. Prints are created by quality scans and/or photographs of the original piece, the colors are matched to the original, and the piece is printed either on quality photographic paper or as a high quality, archival giclee print. Please let me know if you are interested in a print of a specific painting.
4 – Sponsor a Competition
I regularly enter prestigious competitions both nationally and internationally. Entry fees can be very expensive ranging from $25 – $100 per competition. You pay an entry fee or two in return for the following:
- PR on my site with a link to the sponsor site with additional promotion across major social media outlets
- 20% of the awarded prize, 20% to a charity of your choice, if prize money is awarded
- A Full Press Release to the newspaper(s) of the Sponsors choice for promoting local arts
5 – Sponsor an Exhibition
The time and resources it takes to prepare for an Art Exhibit are great. As an artist and an entrepreneur, I am prepared to enter into a partnership with an individual or company in a collaborative marketing experience. The Sponsor may receive the following based on the partnership agreement and sponsor amount:
- PR on the my site with a link to the sponsor site as well as promotion on various social media outlets
- A Full Press Release to the newspaper(s) of the Sponsors choice
- Sponsorship listed on invitations and marketing materials at the Opening
- Tasteful Advertising at the Exhibition and Opening Event
- A percentage of the total sales of the exhibition
