Helping Artists Find Success on Their Terms

As an art marketing strategist, I initially aimed to equip visual artists with the latest marketing techniques to guide their path to prosperity. Over the years, this aspiration resulted in a portfolio of six books, countless informative blog posts, and numerous courses, webinars, and workshops designed to offer artists a comprehensive business and marketing toolkit.

I discovered that despite many artists showing enthusiasm for how these concepts can help them, they refrain from harnessing my expertise and knowledge to their fullest potential.

It was a discouraging reality to learn that, although they appreciate what art marketing can do, many artists see marketing as a necessary evil that overshadows their passion for creation. And so, it became apparent that my ladder to helping visual artists succeed was leaning against the wrong wall.
