Check out the new portfolios published today on POBA of two versatile and prolific artists – Daniel Mincer and Carol Kessler – one a native New Yorker who died young and the other a native Californian graced by a long life. Their art works are quite different, but equally rewarding to discover. They are also tied by their loved ones’ devotion to preserving their works on POBA, and to creating these portfolios themselves (with just a little help from their friends at POBA Concierge Services.) Many other portfolios on POBA were also made this way. Yes, you can do this, too! POBA is designed as a DIY site, with helpful FAQs to guide you at every step. If you need or want help to create portfolios, POBA can give it anytime you wish. But for those who prefer to use the creation of a great artist’s display on POBA as your own creative moment, we make it easy. Start here.
