You’ve finished your masterpiece…now what?

Congratulations! By learning how to market yourself as an artist you’re planning for success, rather than just hoping for it. I can help you make all the materials you need to sell yourself and your work.

Website

Your website will showcase your art beautifully and professionally, putting your talent and hard work front and center, but also make it easier to make a living as an artist. Viewers will be able to buy your art directly online, gallery owners will know how to contact you, writers and journalists will be able to gather enough information about you to write about you even under tight deadline.

Media Kit

If you planning to attract positive media attention, I can help you develop a professional, eye-catching media kit. In order to do this, I will get to know you so I can understand and communicate your unique artistic vision. I will write your bio and help you create an artist statement that expresses your imspirations and gets people interested in buying your work. Finally, I will write a series of articles that we can submit to local papers, use on your website, and submit directly to your favorite art magazines. All of this information will be collected in a professional and attractive folder or as a part of your website. Your media kit is an opportunity to give a positive first impression and make it easy and rewarding for people in the media to give you the exposure you need.

Articles

Whether you have an opening coming up, are teaching a class in your community, or are trying something new artistically, let the world know with an article. Writing about artists and musicians is my specialty, because I love finding out what inspires people, getting to know more about the medium that they choose, and letting other people know what makes artists unique.

Don’t sit around hoping people will notice you – make a plan for your own success! I can help you build your public image, one article at a time.

I can make a marketing plan that will fit your goals and your budget. Get started today by calling me at 505-515-7001.
