I'd Rather Be in the Studio!: The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion

This practical handbook helps working artists build a stronger career by putting their work in front of more people. It explains how to organize a studio life, put together a portfolio that represents you well, design promotional materials, and make a website work in your favor. A further chapter addresses the confidence needed to describe yourself as an artist when meeting clients, galleries or buyers. The advice is direct and aimed at painters, sculptors and other makers who would rather be creating than selling. Its focus is on steady, deliberate steps toward visibility, so that art can reach an audience and sustain its maker over time.
