Paging not showing records

[cleanair4me]

I have a Cold Fusion 8 paging attempt that is not working because no records show even though I query 200 records.
It shows the Paging box only with just Page 1 label.

Please advise.

MainPage.cfm

<cfquery name="artists" datasource="cfartgallery">
SELECT artistid, lastname, firstname, email 
FROM artists
ORDER BY lastname, firstname
</cfquery>

<cfform>
   <cfgrid name="artists"
         format="html"
         striperows="yes"
         query="artists">
      <cfgridcolumn name="lastname" header="Last Name" width="100"/>
      <cfgridcolumn name="firstname" header="First Name" width="100"/>
      <cfgridcolumn name="email" header="E-Mail" width="200"/>
   </cfgrid>
</cfform>

<cfform>
   <cfgrid name="artists"
         format="html"
         pagesize="10"
         striperows="yes"
         bind="cfc:artists.getArtists({cfgridpage},
                              {cfgridpagesize},
                              {cfgridsortcolumn},
                              {cfgridsortdirection})">
      <cfgridcolumn name="lastname" header="Last Name" width="100"/>
      <cfgridcolumn name="firstname" header="First Name" width="100"/>
      <cfgridcolumn name="email" header="E-Mail" width="200"/>
   </cfgrid>
</cfform>

Artists.cfc

<cfcomponent output="false">
