There are so many extraordinary stories to the life of Miami gallerist Mindy Solomon that I just don’t know where to begin this introduction to Art Lovers Forum. She says you can pretty much follow her life by the ceramics she’s collected over the years and the ones she exhibits in her gallery. Most of them tell a story that parallels her life.
I keep thinking of the one where Mindy basically closes down her art career in St. Petersburg, FL because she felt the city of Miami would give her a broader and more sophisticated audience for the paintings, sculptures, ceramics and newly discovered artists she wanted to introduce. It took a solid three years for her husband to leave his medical practice in St. Petersburg and establish a new one in Miami, get her four children to move closer to her, become a leading force in the Miami community, and make Miami a serious art town.
Today, Mindy is considered one of the most respected gallerists in the business because she has introduced new worlds of art to everyone who knows her. The exposure has had a positive impact on our lives. Every time I see her petite presence come walking towards me I think of what she has accomplished and why more women don’t do the same thing. I hope the following podcast of Art Lovers Forum is an inspiration to everyone of any age.
