“My goal is to share my business knowledge and personal experiences in order to serve your artistic career and enhance your ability to achieve your goals.”


Are you a talented artist who would like some information about the “Business” of becoming a Full Time Artist?

Do you want to take your career to the next level, but aren’t sure where to start?

I think I can help. I’ve created a series of essays where I document specific art "business" related information that is designed to assist you in taking action to accelerate the growth of your career. In my writings, I combine my years of business management training, along with my personal experiences in managing the career of nationally recognized artist Sinclair Stratton. (You can view Sinclair's work at: www.sinclairstratton.com).

Some of the topics I discuss:

Self-Evaluation -

Business Operations -

 

Can you visualize your business? How do you track all of your artwork and events?

Goal Setting -

Marketing & Name Recognition -

 

Steps you can take to get you and your art recognized.
