I enjoyed your article very much. I am glad I am not the only one not being able to sell my artwork very easily. It has given me some hope for the future! I am a young sixty six year old female with plenty of energy but I help take care of my ninty one year old Mom which is hard going. Still, I make time for my art as it keeps me sane and happy, I am so glad a friend shared your article with me.

Thank you

Vivien

Excellent article with which I can totally identify with. When I was at art school back in the day, I quickly realised that if I didn’t take control of the marketing of my work, I would have to find another way to support myself.
It was a leap of faith, but I have been living from the proceeds of my art for the past 30 years!

I stumbled across this article after I did a search on “selling my art online.” I meant I wanted to sell some art I own (or at least find out best practices for how to do it), not that I had created paintings I wanted to sell to patrons. At any rate, this was a moment of finding exactly what I needed when I needed it, without knowing I needed it.

I’m a former dancer and choreographer. What is said here doesn’t translate perfectly to what I did in the past; however, it is still a powerful lesson in understanding how to value your creative output, how to create value for an appreciative audience, and how to connect with that appreciative audience. Knowing your worth, knowing how to show others your worth, and then finding those others? That’s what they never taught us in school: Nothing whatsoever about the business of being creative. (Note: The geo-coordinates for viewing SF from an artist’s perspective is genius.)

At any rate, now I’m a personal trainer and wellness coach. I’m building my own in-home coaching service, and somehow I wasn’t sure what I’m doing to differentiate myself. I still don’t; however, there was so much in this interview that spoke to me. I don’t know yet what it said to me, but I do know I will get more from each subsequent reading. I’m going to share a link to this site with a small FaceBook group I created called Wealth and Hellness. It’s a group where I encourage people to share anything that makes their lives better (e.g. books, workouts, memes, recipes, poems, meditation strategies, investing ideas, etc.). Something is simmering in me now, and I need to share it with others.

Thanks very much. This may be an older post for you, but it’s sparkling new for me. I wanted to acknowledge that what you published here has both sentimental and practical value.
