Your Art, Your Money, Your Life - Ep 142

NICHOLAS WILTON
About this episode

https://Art2Life.com - Your art is the most important thing in your life, so how can you possibly put a price on it? This week, I’m talking about how to value your art and your time and why outsourcing the tasks you don’t love allows you to buy back more time to spend in the studio. 

I’m excited to explore questions you may battle about selling art and scaling your business. Fueling your creative journey by getting support and mentorship in monetizing your art is invaluable. It will give you the time and freedom you need to create work you love that reflects your authentic self.
