Ready to turn your art into a real thriving business?

Invest in yourself and learn from a proven success.

“Fortune” magazine calls Ann Rea “The Practical Painter”.

Learn from a successful artist who, after over seven years of not painting, moved to San Francisco and turned a profit in her first year in business – shattering the starving artist myth.

Read about Ann’s blue ocean business strategy in “Career Renegade” by Jonathan Fields, published by Random House.

Marketing is easy and innate for Ann. Her marketing clients range from E&J Gallo, a billion dollar corporation, to individual artists and entrepreneurs. She even initiated the concept of selling GM’s Saturn car for the same price to everyone.

Learn What they Didn’t Teach You in Art School or in Business School
