Why I Created Art To Income

I created Art To Income because I’ve lived through the trial-and-error. I've tested Etsy shops, standalone websites, selling through social media, and finding the “right” ways to show up online. I’ve learned how to build a brand, launch a site, and get my work seen—without spending thousands or burning out.

And after years of doing it the long way, I realized something:

I don’t want to keep this to myself.

There’s too much gatekeeping in the art world. Too many people saying, “Figure it out yourself,” or “That’s just the way it is.” I don’t believe in that. I believe in sharing what we’ve learned, in lifting each other up, and in giving artists the tools they need to thrive—not just create.

So I created Art To Income to be a different kind of learning space.

A place where artists can build their online presence step by step—with clarity, support, and heart.

No overwhelm. No flashy marketing. Just the real stuff:

• How to build a brand that feels like you

• How to create a website with free tools

• How to use social media without losing your mind

• How to bring your art into the world in a way that feels sustainable

I want this course to be everything I wish I had when I started.

Because you shouldn’t have to choose between making art and growing.

You can do both—with guidance, support, and a plan that works for you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or tired of doing it alone—Art To Income is for you.

And I’d be honored to walk the path with you.

With so much heart,

Christie
