Our Manifesto

We do not hope to show our art. We plan to sell more of our art. We do not try to build fine art careers. We build profitable fine art businesses. We do not discount or donate our art. We sell our fine art for a fair profit. We do not compete with other fine artists. We compete for our potential collectors’ time and attention. We do not build a list of exhibitions for our resumes or CVs. We build a list of our collectors and prospects. We do not sell ourselves. We serve missions greater than ourselves. We do not write cringy, self-involved artist statements. We guide authentic conversions that inspire. We do not sell goods or services. Our product is emotion. We do not use pushy sales tactics. Our real relationships equal our revenue. We do not work harder. We work smarter.

Ambler, Pennsylvania

“I remember the days of selling something for $1000 and saying, ‘Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.”

“I just sold my last painting for $25,000 and I’m not offering any more discounts.”

Andres Bustamante
Fine Artist
Nashville, Tennessee

“I wasn’t aligned with my purpose, with my “ikigai”, my reason for being. I was missing other pieces of the puzzle.”

“I found my purpose. You could easily be charging ten times more for this program.”

Lucy Chen
Fine Artist
Sydney, Australia

“I wasn’t clear on what kind of value that I would provide people.”

“When you are clear on your mission there’s no way you can feel small anymore.”

Manasses Machado

“If I had not enrolled, I’d probably still be doing art on evenings and weekends.”

“Not knowing where to start at all.”

“To date, I’ve made $13,470 from my art this year, more than double what I made last year. These are real steps that you can take and you can practice.”

Leah Smithson

“I didn’t know where to start first, or in what order to do things. I wasn’t sure how long to try something to know whether or not it’s working or not.”

“It would have taken me over a decade to figure this out, at least.”

Kelly Hsiao
Fine Artist
Maui, Hawaii

“My gallery was closed. I wasn’t making any sales. I was searching for collectors, searching to be seen, and just not having the confidence really in knowing what to do.”

“It’s incredible. I made almost more than twice my tuition by now. Just so many things are opening up. I’m having faith.”

It’s rarely necessary, but we’ll work with students for free until they sell enough of their art to graduate. We only ask that students complete their lessons and assignments within six months, which is plenty of time. If you don't give up, we won't give up.
