I'm a full time international published and licensed artist who has been fortunate to create art for big box retailers such as Hobby Lobby, Kirkland, At Home, Pier One, JC Penny, and websites like art.com, allposters.com, wayfair.com and overstock.com. But... I wasn't always good at art.
People ask me all the time how I got started in the industry and what it takes to become a published/licensing artist. Just like you, I wasn't sure where to start, how to find supplies, what techniques to use or how to even find inspiration for my artwork!
This is why I started developing courses focused on helping inspiring artists how to create marketable art. Part of this includes developing a style, learning trend research skills like color and design, and painting collections that work cohesively together in the same space. These are all very important skills needed to work in the industry.
