About My Training
I believe fine artists CAN make a living by selling their work, and presenting them professionally is key to their art business success.
Presentation skills that can help your fine art capture people’s hearts.
All aspects of digitizing, editing, sharing, and printing fine art and its copies will be explained. Follow the steps and see your art become so well presented that your audience can't resist buying, awarding, and sharing.
Phew, can I ever relate!
Being an artist myself, I know the challenges artists face—from my own experiences and from the stories artist friends have shared. What I’ve come to realize is there are next to no guides online, especially for fine artists.
What’s the alternative? You're left to rely on your cousin’s friend’s son, who couldn’t care less, or pay through the nose for someone else to do it?
I capture an image of my fine art (course coming soon) AND create a Master Image (see that free course here) within 15 minutes, start to finish.
I want to share this knowledge with my fellow artists because without doing these pivotal tasks, sales, awards, and successful applications are much less likely to happen.
99% of the time, fine art is first seen on a screen. Those images MUST represent the art consistently, accurately, and authentically.
Editing images can feel like performing brain surgery, but it’s easier with a friendly and supportive guide. (That would be me!)
There’s next to no information on this online or off. I’m putting it out there so others can benefit.
That’s why at Present Your Art, you will find:
Effective courses and services that provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to present your art so well your audience can’t resist.
All the details, all the steps—nothing left out!
All information in small chunks to avoid overwhelm. Quick look-ups and run-throughs help with this.
Trackability: Track your progress as you go through.
Road maps you can follow easily and not lose your way.
Worksheets you can fill out and save on your device or print for a physical copy.
Accessible: I rely on closed captions, myself, so I try to make sure my videos are corrected manually for accuracy.
A community for artists to gather, ask questions, and get support, so we can cry in frustration and celebrate the wins together!
Workshops that provide in-person support.
My dream is to build a fun, friendly, supportive atmosphere
with lots of humour and successful results.
Let’s show the world artists CAN make a living from selling their art!

My Origins
When I was transitioning from graphic design to art, it shocked me how difficult it was to capture a crisp image of my art, despite my experience. Plus, there was little to no helpful or accurate information available anywhere.
It took me a few years to solve the problem I was having (I’ll tell that story later). While I was on my journey to solving my challenge, I saw a need—a desperate one. There was a distinct lack of resources anywhere to help artists learn about this pivotal, albeit complex, task.
I was stuck as a graphic designer. I was searching for something meaningful and helpful I could sink my teeth into. Something I could be passionate about.
I have the knowledge, ability, and drive necessary to create this resource centre and to support artists proactively, supportively, and effectively.
