First Things First — Ask the Right Questions

  • "Should publishing my art be part of my art business?
  • If so, what is the best way to go about publishing my art?"
  • Artists who accurately answer the above questions and effectively execute around them invariably enjoy print market success.
  • My art consulting goal is to shortcut your path to print market success and help you avoid expensive non-productive distractions.

Personalized Art Business Consulting
You will receive detailed personalized attention to you particular needs. The primarly purpose for your art consulting is to honestly and accurately evaluate your resources as an artist and business person. We'll use that assessment to devise a marketing plan to help you reach realistic goals.

At some point, nearly every artist will ask themselves, "Should I be publishing my art?"  You can expect from your artist consulting with me to get authoritative advice and clear answers.

  • What category or which specific publishers to seek
  • What kinds of marketing, advertising and tradeshow strategies would work best for them if they are planning to self-publish their images
