No one really talks about the business side of being an artist.
We see the finished pieces, the studio videos, the exhibitions, the beautiful installations, but behind all of that is basically a whole other job.
As an independent artist, I’m not just creating the art. I’m photographing it, posting it, updating my website, answering emails, following up with collectors, reaching out to art galleries and interior designers, creating content, networking, keeping track of commissions, figuring out pricing, shipping, shows, marketing…and somewhere in between all of that, I’m supposed to actually have time to create.
And I think that’s the part people don’t always see, especially when you’ve decided to make your art a business and still building.
Until then, I’m learning as I go, wearing all the hats, making mistakes, figuring things out, putting myself out there and still finding my way back to the studio.
