The package consist of 3 elements:

1. I create one original 30x40 'Great Woman' oil portrait and ship to them

2. a 'speaking portrait' of that Great Woman which my team and I co-create

3.  a 16x20 print of the newest/client's Great Woman portrait  - I get digitally captured, then physically produced as giclee print on gallery canvas, and delivered to them

My 30x40 portraits have been most recently appraised in $12,500-$15,000 range (I completed one for Cdn Venture Capital folks and had it appraised last month; so this would be fair estimate I think for historic women's portraits as well - though I have them price far lower right now on website, because the work involved in capturing a living, breathing, ready-to-complain ;-) ven cap woman takes more time that a historic woman. Still, in the end, they are both great - and great woman - paintings!)

I've been offering portraits in both 16x20 and 30x40 sizes. I'd have to charge less for the smaller size and thinking it might be more fun to simply stick to the larger size, and price point, for the next series of Great Women portraits. They're more fun to create at this scale, have more impact, etc. And part of the package will be offer of 16x20 prints, which look like actual portraits (see below - all of these are actually prints of the Harriet Brooks portrait, which was commissioned by four female CEOs - they then ordered 30 prints and sent them gratis to male CEOs in nuclear energy industry, asking them to hang them on Oct. 11th, Intl Day of the Girl, and post on LinkedIn about it (my idea but they adopted it, to tremendous effect, so I'm happy to know it was a good plan and of value to them!

The Woman who called me from Vienna to join the project! (and got other women in industry involved, and asked if I'd make portrait prints.. which got me started on the whole print side of things-)

****

Mary-lou, my goal here is to create a  corporate package that gives company leaders a great tool- one that lets them, twice a year, reveal women's hidden history.

A phrase that keeps coming to mind for me is this: 'historical mentoring'. 

This project lets a female leader identify a little-know female pioneer - eg I've identified 90+ such women here. - they think is worth honoring, educating others about... who may serve as a source of inspiration for a girl or young woman, considering studies or a profession in a traditionally male-dominated domain.

It lets them, twice a year, pull on any / all of the 3- parts of their Great Woman project sponsorship/client "package":

- a portrait,

- a print,

-a speaking portrait -

...of the  "Great Woman" that they've chose to "historically mentor"...

...and in  March and again inOctober (IWDay  and Intl Day of the Girl AND Women's History Month (both in Oct) respectively)...

...do something meaningful,

-that their team can buy into and feel the significance of, take pride in ...

...and (*) share with their daughters, sons, local science centres

By this  (*) I mean that part of the package offering is: ...

...(beyond the physical, large portrait they can hang (and, hopefully, add to... ie start to create a boardroom full of these lovely large-scale portraits, as RBC Dominion Securities has done) .., ) 

...beyond this, they'll also get - via QR code - an AI-generated "speaking portrait" of the latest Great Woman to be added to the Project's gallery fo great women (the. one they just chose to honor in portrait form)...

something like one of these - see linked "gallery" on this page I'm working up for AstraZeneca, which is still in development

I'm thinking that this 'speaking portrait' could be offered to science centres across Canada, and the States. 

I've only reached out to the science centre in Sask so for - no reply. But Jennifer Punch, COO of discovery centre in Hfx, who sits on board of the national science centre network, thinks the centres would be interested if I can offer the "speaking portraits" to the centers as free content. So I sent the first overture to Sask centre director,... (see pdf at bottom)

I'm thinking, in terms of the , AI-generated speakiing portraits, these could be given to the comms department of a company, and the female CEO/leader could offer her "team" the opportunity to share the "speaking portrait" with team members' respective elementary schools, or local science centres. They QR code I send to them would contain link to:

a) a AI "speaking portrait: of the Great Woman that their company has chose to honor, and the portrait would contain a credit page acknowleding them as portrait sponsor, (and likely/perhaps me as artist/project founder, and maybe the AI team).

So, on those days - March and October - the company could post in-house - eg newsletter, or publicly, eg Linked In - about how they are putting this particular "great woman" out into the world.

Finally - I swear to great God this is the last of this note -), and I hope you are still with me, it's a LOT - finally, when a client gets a QR code to their gallery of 3 Great women portraits, it will include - of course, Their Great Woman..but also a few two other great women "speaking portraits"... of women who won Nobel Prizes - eg, one  of my favs - Truly Elion 

The Nobel Prize folks have a great little learning resource section, that teachers can use.... and 2 of the 3 Great Women in the AI 'speaking portrait' gallery that's delivery virtually to each client could contained link to this .
