Hello my creative friend. You have probably had this huge question inside of your head for a while:
"How do I know that my art is GOOD ENOUGH to make money from?"
You are not alone.
This is the #1 question that I get from artists.
In fact, 10+ years ago, I was wondering the same thing about my art.
- I wondered who would ever buy my art
- I wondered if my artwork looked professional enough
- I wondered if I could have a future where my art could provide income for my family
- I wondered if my friends and family would take my dreams seriously
I'm living proof that you CAN create Art That Works for your big goals.
BEFORE YOU PUT TOGETHER YOUR ART LICENSING PORTFOLIO:
Make sure that you are making the RIGHT type of work that BUYERS will flock towards.
I teach you how to critique each piece of your artwork inside of Art That Works.
You won't have to wonder anymore if your art is READY after taking Art That Works.
If you dream of designing fabric, stationery, wall art, and home decor, Art That Works is the next step to take as you chase your surface design dreams.
Every artist starts in the same place: by putting pencil to paper (or stylus to tablet).
The difference between the artists that grow and thrive and the artists that stay stuck?

HOW TO ENROLL
Hi. I’m Stacie Bloomfield.
I’m an illustrator, licensed artist and owner of my own stationery company called Gingiber.
I've been exactly where you are: you are dreaming of having a career as an artist. I graduated with an art degree, but then became a coffee shop manager because I didn't know how to make money with my art.
I started selling my own artwork online. I realized that I could leverage my artwork by selling products wholesale, licensing my art, doing custom work, and creating book illustrations. The possibilities seemed endless!
Now over a decade later my products are carried in over 1000 brick and mortar shops.
I’ve taken those same designs on my own products and have licensed them with major brands such as Moda Fabrics, Crate and Barrel, William Sanoma, and more.
I’m passionate about illustration and teaching creatives how they can leverage their art into a career.
You have the ability to create a body of work that can actually sell and is ready for art licensing pitching and product development.
I'll teach you the 3 foundational skills you need to inside this course.
YOU'VE GOT THIS!
