what's new...

We are getting ready for the holiday season here at TRA! Remember that art makes a great present for anyone and at any price range. We have a wide variety in the gallery from prints, giclees, and original art. We just got into inventory these fun rooster oil paintings - great prices!

Rousseaux Art Installed

Today we installed a custom Mary Rousseaux piece in a residential house. The painting looked gorgeous against the white walls and limestone columns! Rousseaux is Detroit artist who has a studio downtown and shows in the Detroit and Chicago area. Rousseaux also teaches at Wayne State and the BBAC. Rousseaux's works are glossy resin abstractions that pair with flat wax and plaster/pigment panels.

Jeffrey Johnson

We just got in a few more paintings today....Jeffrey Johnson a Michigan landscape artist. We hope to have in a few more on Tuesday...so stay posted for more pictures!

Susen Starr

Susen Starr, from Birmingham Alabama, is a new gallery artist that we are featuring. Her glossy resin works have buried layers of rich color and sometimes earthen objects hidden under thick resin. The paint appears to float in between the ground and the gloss creating a beautiful atmospheric effect. Her bold color palette and square format lends nicely to a grid presentation and works in a series.

Blog = Newsletter

Welcome again to TRA Art News! We at TRA Art want to provide art enthusiasts, consultants, designers, builders, and architectural groups with current art news- local and national. The news will range from pictures of our current inventory, featured artists with bio's and resumes, images of the gallery, Detroit art market info, corporate job installation pictures, opportunities for local artists, national art news, art links and much, much more.
The posts will be at least 3-4 times a week, so stay tuned. For all of you that aren't quite up to speed when it comes to computer technology... a blog, or as we call it an "art newsletter", is a journal that is consistently updated. A "blog" can be about anything from politics to a personal journal, but our newsletter will focus only on art and our gallery business. Since the posts are constantly updated, the back stories will move to the "archives" on the right side of the screen. Comments are a great way to ask questions and start a dialogue with other readers. Our email address is also linked in the "profile section" in the top right corner.

Thanks...and stay tuned!

up and running....
