Are you ready to make a full-time living as an artist? Today, its harder than ever to survive and thrive financially as a working artist. Still, there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of artists from all over the country who do just that! But how? What are the keys to financial success? Is pure talent and creativity enough? Not quite!
To succeed today, you have to augment your innate creativity and technical skills with some down-to-earth business knowledge and skills found outside of the studio. The most important of which is marketing packaging, and promotion. For instance, at least 50% of your time should be spent getting your artwork seen outside of your studio at exhibits, shows or special events. Getting into shows gets you recognition its as simple as that! How to do that is the hard part
and Ive learned to make the hard part a bit simpler. And, Im ready to share my experience and success with you!

Want to learn how to network with gallery owners, dealers, critics, publishers and other artists? Get press coverage? I can help with that, too. Finding a path as an artist in todays market is tough, but it becomes a bit easier when I am there to help you.
