MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORHi, I’m Emily
I didn’t always have this business: artwork that sells within hours, the retreats and courses, the millions of downloads...
In fact just over a decade ago, I believed that the Starving Artist was the way of life for all artists.
SPOILER ALERT: THE STARVING ARTIST IS A MYTH AND I AM ON A MISSION TO DISMANTLE IT.I had a simple dream: Create art every day, and sell that artwork to buyers who would enjoy it, and live a life that felt gentle and free. But I very quickly realized this idealistic vision was not going to happen magically…
…I had a couple of problems.
I had no idea how to run a business.
I had no one I could turn to to ask HOW to do this.
I didn’t know how to talk about my art.
But I felt big magic inside of me & I knew I had to honor it.
That simple, clear feeling is the reason I set foot on this path, and allowing that vision to expand and evolve led to the business I have today!
As I showed up to the studio day after day, practicing my art and my marketing methods, and allowing my vision to grow, my sales also grew.
With years of experience in selling thousands of original paintings and prints, and growing a whole brand around my art
I've learned some tried and true methods that will ensure your artwork gets the attention it deserves from the right buyers.
Progress is quiet and slow.
