Alyson, I love all you do for artists. I have been benefiting from you work since my first artbiz seminar in Golden. The artbiz success system has made it easy for me to treat my art with respect and dedication and helped me refine what I really want to do. Thank you for what you do.

For the first time ever, nearly all of my income came directly from art sales in 2017.

Thank you for posting this great article Alyson. We are so busy looking ahead that we forget to stop and assess all of our accomplishments, and our lessons along the way. I will definitely use the review before Planning for 2018! Thank you and much continued success in 2018!

Thank you so much for this annual review Alyson like my art career it continues to evolve. I love spending quiet time filling this out and setting some solid goals. 2017 was the year my art went in a new direction and I am thrilled how it has forced me to grow. Thank you for all you do in the art community. Wishing you much joy and laughter in 2018!

Thanks so much, Alyson, for providing us with such a thoughtful Annual Review. Your FBF was one of the best things I did this year. I am putting into place many of the systems and I just sent my first email marketing via Constant Contact today. Because of my first solo show at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art this summer I forced myself to learn how to talk about my art comfortably and participated in many gallery talks. After the show closed in September I finished many art projects that I had promised people over the last two years while I was finishing the work for the show. As of a few days ago those promises have all been delivered and I am starting 2018 fresh. The FBF course influenced all of these things. Thanks again, wishing you and all of us many blessings in 2018!

The best thing this year was joining your Inner Circle Alyson! By the end of the year I found some real clarity around my arts practice and business. And it was wonderful to make the trip from Australia over to Portland, Oregon to meet many of you in person.

There are so many great things achieved this year, too many to list!

Thank you Alyson, I’m coming along for another year in the Inner Circle and can’t wait!

In reply to Alyson Stanfield.

Thanks for asking to see the work. Go to http://www.MarianneLettieri.com to view my portfolio. The SVLaureate award is given to five artists annually for long time careers and one for an emerging artist. My recognition was the “Off-the-Wall” category in sculpture. Feels good to get this kind of validation after the many ongoing rejections that working artists continually receive!
