Marketing Mindset is something I am very excited about. I love to teach and I love to share. Up 'til now, teaching has always been about my techniques and how I make
my work. During my workshops, whether they're
on-line or
in person at my studio in Colorado, the question of marketing comes up time and time again. Such a simple word: marketing...but there is so much to it. I will cover marketing issues that you will face if you are in the midst of an art career and I will cover the basics for all those who are just getting started. I have been both places.

I have had successful careers as a writer/publicist in the entertainment industry, marketing luxury real estate and for the past decade I have been focused on making a name for myself and my work in the art market. In the first two years of making my fabric collage art I was featured on HGTV, had my work added to the permanent collection of a major museum and had a one-woman show in Soho in New York City. That didn't happen by accident.
And in the years since then, my work has been placed in shops and galleries all over the country (I am currently in about 50), 3 catalogs, 2 museums and thousands of private collections around the world. I make and sell over 1000 pieces a year. My work has been made into a greeting card line with Leanin' Tree, licensed to the Lennox Group, written about in newspapers and magazines and published in several art books. Last year some of my work was featured in a show in Rome, Italy and was one of the winners of a national art competition during the 2008 election. Needless to say this has all been exciting...but it has been hard work and marketing is always at the forefront of my thoughts and plans.
And while I can not guarantee this kind of success will happen for you, I can promise to share with you what I know. You do not need a degree in marketing to market smartly and successfully. You just have to have a marketing mindset.
