Do you want to make more money as an artist?
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 new is it doesn't have to be that way.
Stop sacrificing things like health, lifestyle, time and family for the grind. Doing what you love to do for a living is more than possible. The breakthrough you’ve been looking for is closer than you think.

Growth Strategy Call
Do you want to make more money as an artist? There are only three things that could be stopping you from living the life you want to live as an artist;
Lack of Information, Lack of Systems, and/or a Lack of Strategy.
Any one or combination of these things will leave you frustrated with only making sales periodically and probably not for the price you would prefer to sell them at.
I focus on brand clarity, brand message, audience growth, marketing strategies, and passive income as a creative. I can teach you how to find and connect with your audience to increase your frequency of sales.
I have helped hundreds of artists make more money and thrive as artists! Let's develop a strategy for you today! Book a call below.
You Are An Artrepreneur
I have been a full-time artist/creative for five 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 several other artists, from painters to poets to photographers, do the same in that same time span.
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.
