Parker Stremmel is my guest today.

Parker is the gallery manager at Stremmel Gallery in Reno, Nevada.

The gallery opened in 1969 with an outdoor and wildlife emphasis, but by 2003 it evolved to reflect a more modern focus.

Today's Strammel Gallery specializes in contemporary paintings, drawings, and sculptures by mid-career

and established American and European artists.

In this episode, Parker and I talk about why galleries have limits with the number of

artists they work with. The benefits of standing by artists as they experiment and

grow and how Stremmel talks to collectors. We also talk about the cornerstone of a healthy artist

gallery relationship. Honesty, communication, and why Stremel Gallery employs some

counterintuitive tactics to help their artists grow and succeed.

Also, Parker tells the harrowing story of when a visitor slammed his fist into a piece of art.

Luckily, the piece was undamaged but wow. Now that it's over it's kind of

funny but I would never have been able to stay as composed as Parker did when

it happens.

So without further ado, here is Parker Stremmel.

Parker, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me.
