Is it even possible to make a better living as a fine artist?
Absolutely
。 If you know what you're doing。
If you've sold your art, that's evidence that you could be selling more。
Yet, most professional fine artists are fearfully clutching a confidence-crushing formula。
(WORK) hard。(SHOW) which we know doesn't mean selling your fine art。(HOPE) that a better representative will choose you。(REPEAT) until your dignity is destroyed and you give up。
No one can guarantee your success, but the same tired formula guarantees failure。
Hint: Build a profitable fine art business instead of building an art career。
