Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I have been painting since 1974.
What is your primary product or service?
I offer watercolor and acrylic paintings and do some commissioned paintings as well.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
For 18 years I was in the framing business on Main St. in Chagrin Falls, but retired from that and sold the business in 2001. It has been replaced by Imagery FineArt and Framing at 93 N. Main.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I am not retired from the retail scene, but still paint and craft.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I work in my home studio, with no plans to expand. I do have a climate controlled storage for keeping my paintings safe and secure, and can take interested parties there to view them. I am working on a visual from my computer to show customers what is available.
What type of payments do you accept?
Cash, checks, Mastercard and Visa
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
...that they love my work.
