If mere passion were the key, you'd already be a millionaire artist.
Your envisioned life is to be creating strong and meaningful work at your studio, the very catalyst that prompted you to initiate your art business.
Yet, the growth hasn’t been as meteoric as anticipated…
Recognising this as your destined path is just the beginning; a robust framework and strategy are now crucial to truly elevate your art career and yield tangible results.
Until now, the progress has been incremental at best. This calling has resonated for some time, and you stand poised to heed it.
Becoming a successful artist and producing genuine art while generating a sustainable income is your ultimate endeavour.
You’ve done everything you were supposed to...
...watching countless videos, tuning into numerous free trainings, immersing yourself in art podcasts, and collecting all the free resources from top art professionals in an attempt to stitch together an overarching strategy.
It seems as though everyone else is celebrating their six-figure milestones and landing major exhibition opportunities, while you're struggling to make ends meet, feeling increasingly adrift.
You envisioned yourself thriving in a big studio with consistent sales by this point. Yet, here you are, investing more hours, constantly consumed by all the admin tasks and promoting behind your business, and not seeing the returns you hoped for.
You're at a point where you know things must change. You're eager to truly embody the role of a business owner, yet something isn't aligning.
Doubts and the dreaded imposter syndrome start to shadow your confidence.
Questions arise: perhaps this world isn't for you, or perhaps there's a crucial element you're overlooking.
However, it's essential to realise that such feelings of uncertainty mark the journey of almost every artist.
You are not isolated in this experience; it's a shared chapter in many success stories.
The reason you haven't yet reached where you aspire isn't some cosmic conspiracy against you…
The real barrier is a blend of your own self-belief and the clarity on the path forward.
It's about cultivating a firm belief so you don’t give up and acquiring the roadmap to your destination.
ENVISION THE MOMENT WHEN:
👉 You feel again the spark and passion that initially ignited your art business, bringing extra motivation.
👉 You're not just an artist but a thriving business owner, generating sustainable profit from your craft.
👉 A close-knit community of dedicated professional artists surrounds you, uplifting and supporting your journey.
👉 Financial stability isn't a dream; it's your reality. You're buoyed by the confidence that your art continues to captivate and sell, year after year.
👉With well-defined strategies and onboarding tools, you seamlessly bring onboard dependable team members, conveying your vision and needs clearly.
👉 Administrative tasks no longer consume your hours. Instead, you immerse yourself in what you truly love: creating. After all, your primary genius lies in artistry, not paperwork.
👉The sanctuary of your studio beckons more often. Here, in solitude, you create masterpieces that reflect your evolving art development.
👉 Your bond with your collectors is palpable. A loyal and engaged following, they not only admire your creations but eagerly anticipate acquiring them.
👉 No longer adrift in uncertainty, you're guided by clear goals and a robust strategy, ensuring your art remains sought-after for years to come.

Meet your teacher
I’m Belinda and my passion is making artists thrive!
Before I became a full-time artist consultant, I had worked for 8+ years in the arts industry as a curator, gallery director, lecturer, visual arts producer and gallery assistant previously! I’m now obsessed with teaching artists how to start and scale their own business, helping them to build a career that can support them financially by leveraging their online presence.
Hope you join my course and enjoy it!
