Speaking

Thrive as an Artist Seminar - Surf Expo

“I loved your seminar at Art Supply Warehouse.  You have a strong grasp of business skills - especially marketing and deal sense.

I attended hoping to learn how to sell the few fine art paintings I’ve completed and I came away with the skills to make money in the art business.”  Richard Q.  - Aug. 2010

People want to learn from others who have achieved what they are looking for.  The best way I can help people is through sharing personal experiences, good and bad, and philosophies for success in the art world.

I help in two ways:

1 – SPEAKING:  I’ll come speak to your group.  Details below.

2 – ARTIST CONSULTING:  Hire me to consult you one-on-one.  Details are here.

SPEAKING:

Hire me to come speak at your trade show, university or school, or art students.  Successful professional artist Drew Brophy and I work together as a team to address the real issues that professional artists and art students face today.
