Grow Your Art Business With Simone

Tired of “doing marketing” for your art and getting nowhere?
My latest video is for artists over 50 who want their art to sell, but are completely worn out by the idea of being everywhere online.
Instead of another list of tactics, I walk you through a simple, 1-page art marketing plan:
• Choose your main income lanes (originals, prints, teaching, commissions)
• Pick one main place online to show and talk about your work
• Choose one offline route where your ideal buyers can see your art in real life
• Write one clear call to action so people know what to do if they like your work
• Turn it all into a weekly and monthly rhythm you can actually stick with
If you feel scattered and guilty about “not posting enough”, this will help you build a small, kind plan that quietly supports steady art sales over time.
What is your one main online place right now, and does it actually feel like home for your art?

New video now live!
If you are over 50 and you would love to teach art but you are not sure where to start, my new video is for you.
I break down a simple, calm teaching framework:
• Choose your teaching lane and ideal learner
• Design a short, beginner-friendly class or workshop with a clear outcome
• Plan your logistics and boundaries so teaching fits your life
• Create one simple way people hear about your class and one way they book.

You will also get a 30-day teaching experiment you can run with a small group, so you can find out whether teaching is right for you without overwhelming yourself.

In the comments, tell me: what kind of art class would you most love to teach first?

New short for my marblers!
Have you ever wondered exactly how I mix my marbling medium? The exact water ratio, the type of carrageenan I use, how long it takes to activate, and how I keep it fresher for longer then this quick clip walks you through my whole process.

Marbling is magical… but only when the size is right.
A good mix = smoother patterns, cleaner colour movement, and far less frustration.

Have you tried marbling before? Tell me below!
