Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Thirteen years, beginning in 1999.
What is your primary product or service?
My own contemporary-style paintings and sculptures. My sculptures are bronze, ceramic,and wood. I also design and arrange for the fabrication of outdoor sculptures.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I decided to show my work in my own glallery when I retired from my work as a college teacher. I taught literature and writing for 47 years, during which time I actively pursued my passion for making sculpture and for painting. I have studied for short intervals with outstanding painters and sculptors here in the United States and in Mexico. I have ben working consistently as an artist for 50 years.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
My gallery is different from most others on Cape Cod in that my work is more contemporary and experimental than what is shown in most galleries. I also show much more sculpture than can be found in most Cape Cod galleries. Because my clients are buying directly from me, the artist, and not from a gallery owner who shows the work of others, my prices are generally more atractive. Unlike most galleries, the Teichman Gallery offers regular cultural events in the arts during the summer season.
