Knowing how to brand your work and form a cohesive look to your artwork is key to marketing your artwork and making consistent art sales. I am here to help guide you and answer your questions about selling your artwork to others and those important preparatory steps you should make in order to make your first art sale (or one hundredth sale!)
Are you a beginner artist who would like to market your artwork? Or have you been an artist for a long time and are ready to take the next step with your art career? I am here to help. I provide you art marketing and art career guidance for artists who would like to have gallery representation, if you need help with juried exhibits, or if you want to increase your social media reach. I help you get started in art licensing, where you license your artwork to create merch. In addition to helping you with art career coaching, I have videos for you about how to paint, painting tips and techniques, art supply unboxings, and fun and engaging Live streams.

I am a Christian and my artwork is positive message, uplifting and healing. Collectors use my paintings for meditation, calming, and healing thought.
Artist’s Statement: I am a Colorist and am known for contemporary realism focusing on botanicals and landscapes, especially ponds, flowers and skies. My sky paintings are my idea of how God created Earth with one breath. Every morning and every evening He creates a new sky for us.
I employ vigorous brushwork and texture through the palette knife in my work so that people may experience along with me the "feel" of the painting. I find mosaics fascinating how the individual pieces all contribute to the whole- I want my paintings to have a similar idea where overlapping petals of paint all stand on their own and then contribute to the total.
My work known as "Daubism" is created using a palette knife where each stroke of color is isolated from the others. Most paintings will have hundreds of different colors, these colors are all individually hand-mixed from a limited set of colors creating unique colors which relate to one another. I am striving for a sensual, tactile surface in paint."
I am an American artist whose bold contemporary paintings focus on joyful use of color, texture and movement, creating a low relief effect in paint- a hybrid between low relief sculpture, mosaic, and traditional painting. Two of my paintings are in the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art's permanent collection. My originals and commissioned work are available exclusively through the fine art galleries across the US who represent my original and commissioned work.
