Darryl and Claudia Drage went into the gallery business with a more philanthropic turn of mind Darryl had graduated from the University ot Utah with a major in art His sister Claudia was a business major in management They joined forces with watercolorist Kirk Randle to provide an outlet for works of their artist friends at the U who were just entering the professional field They named it, appropriately. The Brushworks Gallery. "We had neither capital nor experience," says Darryl, "We each put in $150, quit our regular jobs and went to work at it full time American Enterprise "The going was tough. Loan officers lend a jaundiced eye to such enterprises so it was sink or swim. "We had faith in the American enterprise system and we were confident that with plenty of work we could succeed. We added photography, pottery and sculpture, went to street shows, swap meets and to keep money in the till loaded up works and took them to California to gift shops and wholesale markets. "We hadnt considered watercolors as a major resource at first, figuring that the public was more interested in oil painting. Salt Lake City buyers proved we were wrong and we added other vvatercolor artists to our regular exhibitors. "Our new show, The Gallerys Choice (which opens Sunday) celebrates our fifth anniversary with an exlubition of watelculuis fiom suilie of the states leading artists It is our way of saying thanks to our Salt Lake City patrons who have kept the demand for watercolors on a parity with other mediums " Cabinet Making With a framing department, Darryl's cabmet making experience was a great asset. Kirk taught classes in watercolor besides furnishing paintings for the gallery and Claudia's business acumen and managerial ability was a factor they needed at the outset. There was time to learn about the art business and hard work was a necessary ingredient but it was good management that tipped the scales in their favor "I always remembered to count the money.
