Sapphoria Shilova

Sapphoria Shilova's Second Life career began in 2007. She launched Zanphoria Galleries & Studios shortly after beginning her second life. Zanphoria started as a single gallery showing much of Ms. Shilova's stock imagery and Zanphoria has continued to grow into multiple gallery locations.

Sapphoria Shilova brings to Second Life a RL skill set ideal for marketing, PR, and event promotion. She is a freelance writer for many publications, and her RL firm offers services in web and blog development, graphic design, public relations, promotion, ad work, conventional and net marketing.

Ms. Shilova has now developed a sound track record and reputation for hosting very well attended events in the Arts & Culture scene in SL. She effectively utilizes a combination of tools to promote these events. Event turnout in Second Life is a fickle dynamic but the combination of a skilled promoter, an eye for detail, an ability to develop a sense of exclusivity, and personalized attention can mean success for Arts events. As a result of her efforts toward this end, many of her art/gallery events have been some of the most well attended in SL's art community.
