Thank you for this article. It has given me some food for thought and I need all the help I can get. I have my first ever exhibition on show now and I am always looking for ways to promote myself. In fact I am an ‘accidental’ artist in the sense that while photography has always been my passion I never expected to sell my work. I actually went to the gallery to promote the work of another artist, while I was there I just thought it would be nice to have an opinion about my work, never once did I expect that they would love my work and take me on immediately. So now I find that I am having to promote myself, which is all new and this is why I appreciate your article so much.

Thank you Heidi! I believe I was almost at or at least travelling toward your breakthrough and your article took me over the top. Thank you for articulating just what I needed to hear. I almost skipped reading this blog, but my intuition told me to stop and take a minute to read it. i also like Jack Cranfield’s little YouTube videos. Congrats on your breakthrough.

Heidi, I think there are three Heidis from reading this…Business Heidi, Artist Heidi, & Healthy Heidi…(Healthy Heidi needs to exercise, eat right & stay in good health…) I think you are a trinity more than a duality…

As a member of a two person household making their living as artists, discipline and balance seems to be the most important aspects of this career. Discipline to continually create art and continually market art in equal measures, discipline to live within your means, discipline to spend time every day to learn something new about your art or the art market, and balance to make sure that there is time in your life to enjoy family, friends, and nature.

Thank you Heidi for a great article. As a Freelance Illustrator, I definitely faced a lot of challenges balancing ‘making art’ and ‘marketing art’ when I first started my business.
Researching 5 simple marketing tasks and implementing them routinely is definitely a good way to avoid spending too much time on the business side of things. And done consistently over time, these simple actions could yield amazing results for any freelance business.
Thanks again for the share!

It’s important to recognize these two roles and differentiate them. Otherwise, you become so identified with your work and business that you are emotionally entangled and can’t take care of either.
I teach my clients about stewardship. You, whether you are a visual artist, a writer, or a coach, are the steward for your business. Your business (and your work as a whole) needs you to detach so that you can take care of it, cultivate it, and, ultimately, thrive from it.
