THE BUSINESS OF ART
Being an artist is about creativity and expression—but building a successful art career requires a solid business foundation. Many artists dream of making a living from their work but struggle with the business side of the industry. That’s where I come in.
​
Drawing from 20+ years in the corporate world, I help artists develop a strategic framework to grow their careers, from business planning to marketing and sales strategies. Whether you're an emerging artist or already established, we’ll work together to expand your reach, strengthen your brand, and create sustainable opportunities.
​
I also collaborate with artists on commissions, specialized projects, and exhibitions, connecting them with the right opportunities to showcase their work and grow their audience. Let’s turn your artistic passion into a thriving business.
