The MainStage National Treasure Award highlights
whose artistic gift and careers of 40 years or more are of such quality that they deserve high praise and acclaim.
AVA
Ava's award has included a full career and portfolio review (a 50 year career that spans the globe, and many many thousands of paintings), brainstorming on her next phase, frequent contact and encouragement, help pulling her story together, introductions to people and situations that will benefit her career and sales, and general cheerleading. We are currently completing a book of three hundred paintings with documentation and appraisals, many in the million dollar range.
This artist is so prolific as well as so creative in approach to her career that it is difficult to grasp fully without witnessing her studio, portfolios, and energy first hand. Beyond prolific, Ava simply is creativity. She is also generous and open-hearted, professional, fun, always surprising, and a constant student (recently she completed a year of study to learn computer encoding, website building and other tech based skills). Many well-known figures such as Madonna, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Patti Labelle have admired her work. Her paintings have traded on the New York Stock Exchange and are always created and shown in incredibly innovative ways. To get a sense of some of her methods for creating opportunities, check out the B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) section.
