I have a portfolio I’m showing for sale to collectors but no current web site as an overview of my works. On one of the pages in that portfolio are my credits. http://www.octobersun.co
Want to know if you and Jeff Dunas made a deal for you to lecture in Palm Springs in March or April ?

Hello Claudia,
Good question.
Artists Who THRIVE is about taking an entrepreneurial approach so I don’t advocate to teach how to approach the traditional art market.
You can book phone consultations here:

Hi Ann,
I’m a ghostwriter, editor of books but need to push the limits to get my own stuff out there. My first book is finished but the idea of marketing it myself is paralyzing the blank out of me. Do you only work with painters, fine artists, etc.?
