Running a small art business isn't about posting pretty social media pictures and dreaming of six-figure commissions. It's actually about good, old-fashioned hard work. I created this video seriesĀ to share my tips and experiences with running a small art business. I'll document my entire journey: maintaining my website, preparing for shows, entering gallery exhibits, general art business tasks and - of course - actually making art. If you've got questions about any of the projects I create, feel free to post them. NO question is silly or unworthy of asking. And, if you've got suggestions about art project or topics you'd like me to cover, feel free to share those as well.
This 12" square checker board features woodburned lines, weathered paint and red splatters. The simple black and red playing pieces perfectly suit the board's rustic aesthetic.
I hand-crafted this game set in my studio. The design is original and the checkerboard is one-of-a-kind.
This bespoke checkerboard and pieces costs $65 (which includes shipping.) Sales tax is added at time of purchase.

As a bookbinder, I enjoy making hand-cut and hand-bound bespoke journals and notebooks featuring my own art and unique designs. As you can imagine, I've created a fairly substantial inventory - but I've finally started uploading images and descriptions to my online store.
My most recent bespoke notebook is based on a favorite photo I took in Hershey, Pennsylvania. I call it "Kisses from Hershey." The video shows its creation - from art concept to finished product.
I'm offering a limited edition of 20 copies of this notebook. Learn more here.
In late April 2025 I started a YouTube channel where I post free demos and process videos of my art and printmaking. I am so appreciative of the nearly 40,000 views received to date. Exposure is invaluable to the growth of my small art business so if you're interested in my content, please subscribe to my channel.
