Art at Internet Speed
BY MICHELLE GOODRICH
(April 3, 2002)
"A year ago I had no idea which end of the computer to work
with"
says Shane Garton, an accomplished artist. With
Dreamweaver, Fireworks and many long nights and determination,
bingo, the Capra
7 Art Studio Web site was born.
Artists are still finding the Internet and
connecting with other artists and art lovers. With little or no
initial investment, artists can display and sell their work on the
Web.
Artists like Ron Guthrie, GuthrieArt, have learned how to
send artistically formatted emails announcing new work, even though
his first attempt was to manually send one email at a time after
creating a custom template.
These talented creators find their way around the
Web on their own; brushing the more sophisticated high-tech methods
aside. Ron is using PayPal, an easy to set up tool, that allows art
lovers to buy his art online with ease.

It’s a do-it-yourself world for artists. They don’t
hire Web designers or developers to create their presence on the
Web. For the artist, the Web site is another work of art.
There are no physical boundaries in the art world.
Shane Garton, an Australian artist, works from the island of
Tasmania, while artist Ron Guthrie adds new art to his Web site from
his home in California.
