ART CAREER CLARITY

Are you happy with your art career & making a living from it?

High school, college, and university students confide in me that they are stressed from the pressure of having to decide upon a career or vocational path, without knowing what they really want to do. Even graduates with a degree complain about not having clarity as to what to do next. Professional artists are questioning their entire career game plan.

Why is there such confusion?

We were taught in school to follow the rules, move through the grades, go to college, acquire a skill set then find a job. We were not encouraged to nurture the wisdom of our heart, to know thyself, and seek our destiny.

I am a professional artist in the publishing, film, gallery, and popular art culture worlds. Being clear about my purpose as an artist, coupled with an independent entrepreneurial spirit has allowed me to sustain my art career for over four decades. 

I created the educational service of Artist As Brand® to share the joy of a clear sighted career and steps we can take to become confident, independent artists. By learning the simple principles of connecting directly with our fans, patrons and collectors, we are able to grow a family of supporters producing a foundation of financial support.

The literal definition of Artist As Brand is “a creator who has become a unique symbol,” but the spirit goes deeper. The Artist As Brand® mission is to empower an artist’s authentic purpose and prosperity. When an individual’s core purpose and talent are synergistically aligned they can become transcendent symbols. This is not about fame, this is about power in the truest sense of the word. Know thyself. The world will recognize it too.

It’s no accident that you are reading this right now. Take your talent to the next level and make a career of it.
