Do You Want To Grow Your Art Business?
Are you a visual artist struggling to navigate the business side of your art? Do you find yourself wishing you had more time, knowledge, and resources to effectively market and sell your work? It's time to invest in an artist business development coach who can help you overcome these pain points and take your art business to new heights. If you're like most artists you can make sales of originals sporadically and prints sell periodically but there's not enough traction to sustain your desired lifestyle let alone be able to predict your income. The good news is it doesn't have to be that way.

Tripping Over Canvases: How To Become A Successful Artrepreneur
You Are An Artrepreneur
I have been a full-time artist/creative for eight years as of the writing of this book. I realize that isn't the longest time frame in the world, but I have been able to help over a hundred other artists, from painters to poets to photographers, do the same.
In the art business, I have come across over one thousand artists at this point and most that I have spoken to would rather handle the art and leave the business to someone else. While getting someone else to do it is great I would strongly advise you to learn what it is that is needed to be done to ensure that what is being done is needed and accounted for.
In this book, you will receive tested advice and learn to use tools effectively enough so that if you do decide that becoming a full-time artrepreneur and quitting your day job is the path you want to take then you will be prepared for your journey.
