My Journey

As some of you know, I submitted a portrait portfolio to Portraits, Inc. back in October of this year. Here was their response to me today.

Dear John:

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to send your portfolio to Portraits, Inc. for our annual new artist review.  We always appreciate and look forward to seeing the work submitted by each artist. 

A committee of staff members, sales associates, and artists evaluates each submission.  We seek to identify artists whose styles are similar to those we sell the most, as well as artists who might bring a unique style not currently included in our roster of over 150 artists.  I am sorry to say that we are unable to include you in this group at this time.  Please know that we do not attempt to be art critics.  We only evaluate based on our understanding of our current markets and the requests our sales associates make on behalf of their clients. 

We hope you understand this is one of the hardest things we do, and we regret leaving anyone out.  We sincerely wish you every success and thank you once again for your interest in Portraits, Inc.

Best regards,

Beverly McNeil
Chairman & CEO
