What happens if someone sues you because their kid swallowed a piece of your art? Do you actually know what you owe the IRS in April? Do social media and emails fill you with dread? Most artists don't have answers, and it's eating time they'd rather spend in the studio.
Art Business Foundations exists so you stop losing sleep over insurance, taxes, and your inbox, and get back to making the work only you can make.
Built by a working artist with press features in NPR, Last Week Tonight, REI, and Outside Magazine.
If taxes make you panic, insurance keeps you up at night, and your inbox feels like a second job, here's exactly how that changes. Four phases, like the corners of a house. Skip one and the rest gets shakier.
Go in with your eyes open, expectations managed, and a plan in place to get it done, backed by the mindset shift from hobbyist to business owner that makes everything after this easier.
Legal structure, business banking, and a tax system that works, so every dollar coming in goes to the right place.
Insurance, contracts, and record-keeping that hold up when something goes wrong, so you can create with peace-of-mind.
Tools, automation, and the baseline marketing tactics that bring in new collectors while you paint, so you can spend time in the studio stress-free.
If that's you, you're in the right place.
Our Mission
"Most art business courses only focus on marketing. I start with the foundation. I help artists, from hobbyists starting their first art business to working artists who skipped the foundational steps, get the legal and financial structure, and operational and sales systems in place so they can focus on creating and growing with confidence, knowing their business is built on solid ground to scale."
"Thank you so much for all of this information. It is more appreciated than you know. It is so difficult, and I am so inspired by your art entrepreneurship journey and you have brought so much insight and light to my world. Endlessly thankful for you."
"This has really helped me change my mindset from short-term reaction thinking to long-term success thinking. I never thought about this before in terms of building something that could carry me for decades."
"I loved every bit of advice and guidance you shared. So helpful! I don't know how other people aren't talking about this. You've given me hours back in my studio!"
The exact tools I rely on every day to run my art business, banking, marketing, and tech systems, organized so you can copy what works instead of guessing.
Art Business Foundations walks through the infrastructure layer nobody else teaches, one episode at a time, from LLC structure to insurance to the systems that hold it all together.
Coming Soon!I'm not a lawyer or accountant. This is based on my own experience building my art business. Please consult a licensed professional for advice specific to your situation.
