I'd Rather Be in the Studio!

"I'd rather be in the studio!" is just one of many excuses art-marketing consultant Alyson B. Stanfield hears from artists who aren't promoting their art effectively.

Rather than listen to any more whining and complaining, Stanfield took the top eight excuses and built a how-to book to counter each one.

I'd Rather Be in the Studio! provides easy-to-follow self-promotion practices that help artists find their way at any point in their careers. Match Internet marketing strategies with sincere personal skills to take charge of your art career.

About the Author
Alyson B. Stanfield is an artist advocate, workshop leader, art-marketing consultant, and the founder of Art Biz Coach.

I'd Rather Be in the Studio! was shaped by Stanfield's ten years as an art museum curator and educator. She has loads of experience working with collectors as well as the general art-viewing public. That means that she knows how people interact with art, how they approach it, what they fear, and how we can educate them and alleviate their fears.

She wrote this book for the many talented artists who remain professionally unfulfilled because their work remains in the studio.
