HoLing Gallery

When I first heard about Unilocal,I resisted joining because I didn’t think I had very good opinions and those I had no one would care about. But here I am at my century mark and the Unilocal community has been great to me.
To celebrate my 100^th Unilocal,I wanted to review something close to my heart. The HoLing Gallery was a site I started for my mom back when the web was in its infancy. She painted Chinese watercolors and we decided to exhibit her work on the web. After it was launched and she got hundreds of hits a day (that was good back then), she remarked that the master she studied under took years to become world famous, but that I did that for her in a few days.
Back in 2003, my mom was tragically killed in a traffic accident in St. Paul. A colleague of mine redesigned the site for us and while we had originally put prices to sell some of her original work, today it is mostly just an exhibit and memorial to her. We are considering making prints of the hundreds of paintings we have found since she died, but for now are content in what it represents.
