Two things are clear when it comes to pricing your art.

1️⃣ It’s a struggle for most artists.

2️⃣ There’s a good chance that your prices are too low.

There are 5 reasons to raise your prices:

🔸 You’ve done the math and realized you aren’t paying yourself.

🔸 Your pricing has become uneven over time.

🔸 The cost of your materials has increased.

🔸 You can’t keep up with the demand for your art.

🔸 You start selling through galleries.

I cover all of these in this episode and then tell you HOW to raise your prices.

Series, Catalogs, and Museum Shows with Susan Abbott (#176)

I like to say that your art isn’t complete until someone else experiences it. Until you’re standing in front of it and talking about it with people who are interested.

In real life. Digital-only viewing doesn’t count.

Every person who sees your work brings themselves and their background to your work—adding new layers of meaning to your original intention.

My guest for this episode is Susan Abbott, and she recognizes the importance of getting her work out of the studio and in front of people.

We cover a lot of ground in our conversation, but there are 3 themes:

The value of working in series, with special attention given to the series of paintings that came from her pilgrimage on The Camino.
Creating a catalog of your art and what it can do for you.
Getting a museum solo exhibition and why that’s important to her.

We also discuss how Susan lost 14,000 instagram followers and rebuilt her account to where it is today (~46,000 at the time of this recording).

See if you can pick up on why it pays to dress nicely when visiting gallery.

Next Episode

Every Artist Is Designed Differently and What It Means with Jahje Ives (#178)

In this episode, I have something a little different for you.

I want to share a tool I found a number of years ago that helps me in life and in my business. And it’s helped many of my clients.

It’s a life map, of sorts, called Human Design.

Jahje Ives is an artist and a Human Design coach and guide. While I have worked with Human Design guides in the past, Jahje is the first artist I have met in this realm.

I wanted her insights as to how knowing your Human Design could help with your art and art business.

To get the most out of it, you have to have a little woo in you. As Jahje says, you might need to put on your tinfoil hat.

She’s going to tell you what Human Design is, cover the 5 different types of designs and what each would mean for an artist. Human Design has taught me that there are no two people alike. We are each unique in our gifts and our approach to life and business.

What works for one artist might not be just a bad idea for another—it could also be a huge waste of time. Or even damaging.

Since learning Human Design, I’ve changed much of my approach to teaching and coaching. I’ve started tuning in to the differences among artists—differences that they were born with—so that I can meet them where they will be able to thrive.

This episode probably isn’t for everyone, but if you’re open to the journey, please continue to listen. Maybe something will ring true. Here’s my conversation with Jahje Ives.
