new presence on fb

It appears I have run into a dilemma that has been plaguing me for months now.  I have a Facebook account profile and a separate Facebook page for my art... both by the same name (except that subtle difference of the picture and added middle name).  The problem being, when I post artwork (to the public page), people think that I am posting it on my regular account wall or vise-versa.  I have even gotten confused myself and posted a private message on my public wall.

Facebook allows us to change our names on our profiles, but not on public pages, or I would have long ago.  Today I came up with a solution.  I created a brand new page called The Sunny Pea Gallery.  It can be found at:  http://www.facebook.com/SunnyPea  (This is for those outside of Facebook, it will be redundant to anyone reading this post on Facebook.  Sorry.)  If you are on Facebook and are not associated with the page yet, please go to the link and click "Like" at the top of the page.  :)

One thing I have decided to do differently this time is  open it to other artists / photographers.  I don't want the page to be all about me!  I want other artists to share what they are doing in the photo gallery section and promote themselves and their work in a cooperative way!

As of this writing, the photo gallery is open to fans of the page. I will reserve the right to delete any posts I don't feel are appropriate to the Sunny Pea page or may be offensive, and I only will accept images of art (not general snapshots of grandkids or pets, etc.) This will give you yet another networked chance to promote yourself, your art, photography or your related websites and let us all know of any workshops, exhibits, etc you know of!

Please share this new page and refer it to your friends.  It is open to the public, share it freely and help promote this virtual gallery! :)
