YOU MADE THE WORK
You have been making work you love. Now let’s get it seen.
Years ago I flipped through Flow and The Untitled Magazine and wanted my work in those pages. Today my paintings have been in both. It is a skill you can learn, and this November I will walk you through it.
Picture the end of November
Learn how to attract and go after the opportunities you want, and invite the right people to support you.
Your work deserves to be seen, celebrated and supported, so the right people can find you.
Together, let’s get your press kit ready, so you can start adding features to your CV.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Your ducks are not in a row yet
Let’s fix that. We will create a press-ready kit you can pitch to magazines, blogs, podcasts and beyond, with your images and information ready, so you can jump on an opportunity when it comes up.
You want to feel confident in how you present your work
Your presentation and artist brand are how editors and curators see you. Let’s make them feel like you, so you can send your work out with confidence.
Instagram feels exhausting
Instagram is still a great tool. I will share ways to adapt without learning a whole new interface, and to share your story in a way that fits your lifestyle and energy.
You have been hoping to be discovered
We can start showing up on purpose.
HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS...
Getting featured is possible, and simple.
There are many ways to get there, and I will show you. I am a working oil painter and the founder and editor-in-chief of Create! Magazine, where our team has published thousands of artists. I know what editors look for because I am one.

Built by a publisher
Most submission advice comes from artists guessing. This comes from the other side of the inbox: what makes an editor open, read and say yes.
