If a client is unreasonably difficult to deal with, then in the long term, it may be best not to accept their commission. ~Elena Parashko

For art to be real, it must also be relevant. That does not mean following current trends; it means following the “inner need” of a person of your generation… ~Matthew Daub

Personality and meaning may be in a work of art, but only if they are first in the artist. ~Matthew Daub

In the end, labels, definitions and “styles” are meaningless; what matters is that an artist works from an interior motivation and that the work is contemporary. ~Matthew Daub

Exhibiting artwork at major art trade shows (sometimes referred to as trade exhibitions, or “expos”) is something that many artists should consider. ~Jodi Walsh

If you want your clients to continue to return, give the client what’s best for them. ~Jack White

Never press people to buy a bigger piece of art than they can afford. You don’t want them to look at your work with a bitter taste in their minds. ~Jack White

Early on as an artist, I realized collecting art is as personal as making it, and I came to understand the act of purchasing it needed to be special too. ~Jack White

Investing in a lightweight easel for travel is a worthwhile investment. ~Marilyn Gasparini

Have a “form” or “template” email available that you send out as part of your art business. ~Eric Maisel
