Paint to Prosper
Transform Your Art Practice and Build a Modern Art Business
This guide by notable painter and entrepreneur Amira Rahim helps artists learn how to approach their art both modernly and holistically, empower their creativity, and build thriving art careers.
Maybe you’re a self-taught artist and just getting started with turning your art hobby into a career, but you’re struggling to get your first sale. Or maybe you’ve got an art degree and years of experience, but you want to grow your business so it’s stable and sustainable. Amira’s philosophy guides both beginner and experienced artists to approach art in a fresh way—with an emphasis on using mindfulness, emotion, color, expression, and composition—to unlock their creativity and build a successful art career. More than a step-by-step manual, this book will help readers maintain a fulfilling painting practice and consistently create high-value art that sells.
