ARTIST SERVICES: LEADS, STRATEGY & SYSTEMS.

I Help Artists Earn More, Get Organized, and Win.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with incredible artists all over the country that I admire and respect, and from whom I have learned a lot and driven a lot of value. My experience working with corporate clients has given me unique perspective on advocating for artists’ value, process, and perspective - which I take pride in. For 15+ years I have been the conduit between clients and artists, ensuring great results and satisfaction for all parties, helping artists earn, and bringing them quality, well-paid work.
I am available to support a select group of no more than 5 artists at a time with professional artists that want to:
WIN MORE PROJECTS
EARN MORE MONEY
OPERATE SMARTER
GROW YOUR BUSINESS
Services For Professional Artists
Business Development & Representation. I find and pitch corporate, commercial and public projects on your behalf, with outreach going out under my name, representing you. By building outbound strategies and systems, not just random outreach between real tasks, I build cycles of leads that provide targeted opportunities based on the types of projects you want to win.
Pricing, Proposals & Contracts. Quotes, scopes of work, licensing terms, and the insurance and COI paperwork that slows projects down. I make sure your pricing is what it should be, your proposals incentivize the best outcomes, and your contracts protect you from any funny business.
RFQ, RFP & Public Art Applications. Finding the right calls, writing the application, and assembling your qualifications is an important lane for larger projects that don’t just fall into an artists’ lap. Another solid track for building a comprehensive outbound approach.
Career & Gallery Strategy. Gallery and art fair targets, positioning, and a plan for where your work should be seen next. Whether campaigns, events, content, or outreach, I help artists build a strategic approach to their various revenue streams and project or service verticals.
Portfolio & Brand Development. Website, deck, artist statement and Instagram, built to get you hired. I advise on back end upgrades to your website, pitches, content strategy, and positioning to ensure the structures are in place to align with your goals and desired outcomes.
Business of Being an Artist Sessions. Hourly working sessions for artists early in building a business around their practice. These are strategic advising sessions to help vet particular approaches, projects, opportunities, or strategic questions currently being evaluated and considered. I am that unbiased brain that can provide real feedback that focuses on actionable next steps.
Ways to work together: hourly, monthly retainer, or a project fee.
