The following is from a guest speaker on the blog, an artist who creates the amazing works you see pictured here.Love original art but intimidated by galleries? Hate gallery prices? Northern California artist Hiromi welcomes direct interaction with her private and corporate clients. She hand paints all of her own designs, mostly modern art abstract paintings but also landscapes, florals, zen and asian-inspired pieces, paintings with texture, mixed media and acrylics.
Whether due to early exposure to Japanese aesthetics or simply a reaction to her Mother's propensity towards dressing her in frilly pink outfits at a very young age, Hiromi's pieces generally tend toward simplistic elegance and earthy neutrals or colors reminiscent of blood or black and blue. However, from time to time, she follows her artistic whims into colorful territory albeit still preferring relatively clean lines.
"I create continually, mostly because I lean heavily towards obsession, passion, whatever you want to call it, tempered by an attention-span of a 2-year old. Yes, I tend towards hyperbole too. Probably in large part due to this slightly obsessive inclination, my sleeping problems started young. I think someone finally attributed my sleep-walking and sleep-talking to an overactive imagination which now provides the bases for my art."
Hiromi's originals are versatile, complementing a wide array of dicor, appropriate for home or office. Most pieces go equally well with:
- contemporary or mid-century styled furnishings such as Eames era (styled) and the clean lines of Danish modern design (Scandanavian) furnishings
- more traditional pieces such as those produced by Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel
- wood furnishings
- black lacquer
- glass
- chrome (stainless)
- Asian-influenced settings

I've never bought nor sold anything on ebay. I would like to learn HOW TO.
I've designed a new Stragety Board Game: KING'S CORNER...
I would be interested in finding out how and where these sellers are finding their Pottery Barn products that they're selling on Ebay. I know for a fact that Pottery barn doesn't sell in bulk or wholesale.
Do you know?
Regarding Pottery Barn items. I dont sell them but I can only pass along what others have told me. People go to sales where they are clearing out stock (at Pottery Barn) they grab all the stuff at ridiculously low prices at these sales then resell them. I know we found a set of decorative wall stars at a tag sale once , never opened for 25 cents. So people probably have lots of sources for these type things. Another source is extra Christmas gifts etc.
If you are the type that likes to hunt out store sales, you can try that also. Im not that good at that, but even so I have come across a few deals like this. Once at Kohls I saw purses on sale for 75 cents and we were able to sell those for 8-10 dollars, sold about 100 of them. Another time at a Sneaker Store they had little skateboard toys for 25 cents, those sold for 8-20 dollars. If you shop keep your eye out for deep discount bargains. There are some people that live at these stores for these sales and I know management gets mad at them because the sales were meant to bring in other customers (so they can buy other stuff) and all these ebayers go in and clean them out. Legally, they are for sale, so they can do that. Just not something I would be good at. Hope this helps you with your question!
Regarding pottery barn items - a comment:
Pottery Barn purchases from MANY different craftsmen - and potters and craftsmen sell in many different venues, so like Marty said, if one buys and item - one can sell it..
That is just the way it is.
