Introducing myself

It is such a pleasure to reach out to the Saudi Arabia expat community. I am a veteran portrait painter, and  the collections of works I have done include a lot of Arabian Gulf subjects. I would like to be able to move there from Philadelphia, where I live. I want to learn more about the country from you, and to get tips on how to get my work better known in Saudi Arabia via social media and other web sources.  I look forward to our ongoing contact and to learning from you!

Dear Abdullah and others,

How kind of you to extend such a gracious welcome to me. I can see that the people on this forum have great warmth and friendliness.

Let me throw out at you and all other forum members what brings me here, so that collectively you can set me on the right path.  I have a product to market—my portraits of Arab Gulf subject matters—but let me make crystal clear that my intent is not to try to sell them on this forum. I come here, rather, to seek from you the information as to where I can market them. Keep in mind that at this time I am in the USA and  I know nothing of daily life or media outlets in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi young woman told me that advertising on Instagram was better than Facebook. The bigger question in my mind is whether either of these outlets is a good choice to reach my target audience—middle-aged executives who can buy my paintings for their institutions or homes. Might not other forms of media be better? And perhaps even online publications not tied to social media?

No one can approach answering me intelligently without a notion of what my work looks like. I tried before linking to a web page that has a painting I did of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, and including a link to an album I have on Pinterest with my whole collection. To my surprise this resulted in my account being frozen. I had to create a new account, and now I don’t dare trying either of these again. How can I make it possible for you to see my Arabian Gulf paintings?

Any help by anyone will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Sylvia
