As a corporate entrepreneur and startup executive, I have had the privilege of working with professionals in a variety of industries. This experience gave me a unique perspective on the intersection of creativity and commerce. While the principles of entrepreneurship can be applied universally, the artist-entrepreneur’s journey is uniquely complex and deeply personal. It requires a delicate balance of artistic integrity and business acumen, passion, and pragmatism.
Every day I am inspired by creatives who bravely share their vision of the world through works of art. It is my belief that the practice creativity can be mindfully channeled into designing sustainable arts business practices. This is the foundation for the work that I do as a consultant and coach in my business Artsightful.com where I share insights into the business of art. As a Doctor of Business Administration, specializing in arts entrepreneurship and leadership, I also teach these practices to emerging and established arts professionals through university coursework, cohort training programs, and publications.
