Northern California oil painter Terry Sauve joins the Art Marketing Podcast to share how she's crushing it in what many are calling a tough economic year. Terry breaks down her path to a record-breaking $276,000 in
sales — including $28,000 from her website alone and $23,000 in print sales. She talks about starting over at 29 after her mom said "I always thought you'd be an artist," training at the Academy of Art in San Francisco
with masters like Brian Blood and Craig Nelson, and the slow-and-steady grind that replaced her decade-long wait to "be discovered." Terry gets real about selling $25 matted prints that brought tears to collectors'
eyes, saying yes to more shows during uncertain times, and why the path to success isn't a meteoric rise — it's doing "the next right thing" over and over again.
