It's a myth that artists can just create great work until they get discovered to have a career in the arts.

This workshop sheds light on the the business side of being an artist and builds your knowledge to take your artwork to the next level.

I will share information about my journey and advice from successful professional artists. We will have hands on exercises to move your art career forward.

Our class will meet online using Zoom. Zoom is free and you do not need to make an account to attend a meeting (class). I will send you a link with a password before every session.
