three things—a little business planning, a
whole lot of marketing, and most importantly,
the ability to create work that resonates with
people.

a successful career or business. You need to be
very clear about what it is you are making, and
who you are making it for.

you have to offer, it’s time to start finding the
right market for it.
How big is your potential market?
Who is buying art?
Who is selling art?
Who do you want your audience to be?
