Marketing your art

Just back from Racine in a 2-day workshop, "I'd Rather Be in the Studio" with Alyson Stanfield (http://www.artbizcoach.com/). For any artist wanting to sell more of your art..that's all of us, right?.. Alyson can tell you how. Most of us artists operate on a shoestring, and Alyson understands that. I came back charged up and ready to use the many free and inexpensive tools available online to share my art with others. Alyson offers artists many ways to learn what she has to say, even free ways! Wishing all you artists a successful journey in sharing your art with more and more people!
