I am feast or famine, haha. I have big sale months in the spring and fall and then slower summers and winters where I take time to focus on creating and do a few commissions. I also look to put pieces in local places around town during that time. I have mostly been focusing on markets and festivals and will have 12k-15k months that way. In the summer and winter I will have $1000- $2000 months (on average). October (and first couple days on November): Ornament online pre-orders: $1505 Chiaha festival (my hometown show): $5400 Chastain Park: $4200 + Commission deposit $1450 at the show Commission Deposit: $900 🟰 13,455 Definitely looking to move more online as my audience grows, but I’m enjoying the grassroots feel of art festivals for now. This is only my third year selling my art, so I find it is a great way to connect with your ideal collectors.

@William Ballard I can’t say for sure, but one thing I strive to do is to treat my booth during a festival with the same respect that I would if it were a gallery. It’s not always perfect, but keeping the collection I’m showing cohesive and all framed the same way really makes an impact. I space my pieces out and try not to overwhelm people with a ton of art shoved in a small space. I have recently added prints and framed prints to diversify my price range. I still try to keep my originals as the star of the show, though. Even though we are outside, I pretend my booth is a little pop-up gallery and I think a clean presentation goes a long way. I also decorate with things like lamps and books in my booth. It’s just my personality, but I also think it helps people imagine the art in a home setting. Don’t know if any of that will help others, but it’s something I have come up with that I don’t see many people doing.

@William Ballard oooo, tell me about this color picker app!

I love these! I am also a SAHM… and trying my best to juggle being a mom and having an art business 🤍 yay for naps 🙌🏻
