As some of you may know, my partner in crime, Marilee, has handled my marketing since my one-person show in the 80s. We met in college -- she went the commercial art road, and I went the fine art. 

Marilee says I'm her guinea pig. Every time she hears of a new idea, she tries it out on me. She says you have to throw many darts, and some will stick. This lady has tenacity, never giving up. I always say she's the brains, and I'm just the brush. 

Marilee has been invited to give a 4-full day workshop at Dillman's Art Retreat. Read below what it includes. Trust me, you will walk away with a ton of information.

Ready to get your online business in shape?
PLEASE NOTE: you must have a working knowledge of the computer/smart pad and the internet. No smartphones, please.

It doesn’t matter how good your art maybe — you could be the next Sargent or Picasso — if no one sees your work or knows you exist, then you’ll never sell much art.
