Erin Lale Closes Magicalrealist Gallery EBay Store

Online, November 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Erin Lale has closed Magicalrealist Gallery, the eBay Store where she sold her sunprint art, writing, and custom fabric dyeing services since 2002. Lale says, "Due to changes in the economy and in eBay Stores subscriptions, my eBay Store had become an obsolete business model. I have much better profitability selling my book on Amazon, so I'm going with that. The custom fabric dyeing was the reliable seller on Magicalrealist Gallery before the recession, but my previous business customers have learned to do custom dyeing in house or have stopped using the luxury look of custom work as no longer fashionable in these times. My eBay Store has not turned a profit since 2008; I was only keeping it open this year so I could use a custom page for my campaign fundraising items. Now that my campaign for State Assembly is over, I no longer need it for that, so I'm shutting down the eBay Store."

Her goods and services are still available on the net and by directly contacting her. She continues to maintain the eBay seller name magicalrealistartist. Her book, Asatru For Beginners, is available on the Amazon Kindle Store, and on the Barnes and Noble website in both trade paperback and Nook versions, and from any local bookstore that deals with the distributor Baker & Taylor.

Erin Lale is the world's most prominent contemporary sunprint artist. Her art is still available by contacting her directly. In the past year, Lale has donated sunprints to charity auctions for Native Seed Search and the ACLU, among other charities. She has had two local solo shows of her sunprints, at Liberty Pointe Pavillion in Henderson and at the Enterprise Gallery on the Las Vegas Strip. Her sunprint "Las Vegas Skyline with UFO" is part of the permanent collection of the Hammargren Home of Nevada History, a private museum. Lale was the founding Chairman of City Lights Artists' Co-op in Henderson, Nevada.
