You have to market your Art.

My vision in the early days was of me being the Artist sitting in my studio creating Art and the collectors were lining up to buy it, but this was far from the case as the collectors were no where to be found.

If you want collectors and strangers to buy your Art works, then you are going to have to sell your paintings to them.

Artists say to me, “I do not have a gallery or dealer, so how can I sell them?”

The honest answer if you want to sell is, learn to sell.

I believed that someone would do it for me as if by magic but it never happened, I soon realised to late that I had to sell my own work because no one else would unless I was well known and I wasn’t.

The key to selling your paintings is, learning to sell.

Selling is building relationships with strangers so that they trust and love your painting and you and believe in what you stand for.

Selling is being nice and friendly to people and story telling your paintings to them telling them why you painted it, what you were trying to accomplish and what the painting means to you.

Selling is being passionate and enthusiastic about your Art work and communicating that to strangers.

Selling is being courageous and walking up to strangers who are looking at work and being friendly and open with them.

Selling is not complaining about how unfair it all is and yes it is unfair, so learn to sell your work and be a successful Artist.

Learn to sell your Art and it will change your world.
