Back in the day, selling your art meant getting into galleries and doing all the same things as everyone else. Luckily today, you can get wayyy more creative – which is good, since that’s probably your specialty as an artist! What might not be your specialty? The business part. Totally understandable and I definitely get it! I would much rather be painting than trying to market myself and send invoices, but let’s be honest – no biz runs if you aren’t taking care of the business-y stuff, too! Maria jumps in exactly with the information we need to know to creatively and simply sell more art – using FUN methods!
A few favorite quotes from the episode:
“When you are making a living as an artist, face it, you work your BUTT off. It’s hard work, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it! You don’t do it because it’s easy, you do it because you love it. But you do have to take breaks! You have to enjoy time away from work.”
“If you wanna do something, you can figure out how to do it. You just have to get creative”
And that’s where the amazing Maria Brophy comes in! And it’s time you get to know her and her years of knowledge about alternative ways to sell art.
