Alyson Stanfield’s workshop was well worth every minute of my time! It met all of my expectations and more. I have been working my way through Alyson’s book “I’d Rather Be i the Studio! The Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion” 
but as one sometimes gets with a self-help book was stuck. I’m unstuck now and excited to apply some of what I learned. So I’m going to apply the first thing Alyson taught us in the workshop (also in her book) “you can’t do it all” – and I am going to add a corollary to that – you can’t even do the part you can do all at once. In that spirit, I am not going to try an summarize the workshop in this post. Instead I am going to post my progress in working my way through the actions in her book that apply to me and the ideas I got learned in the workshop once a week. If you can’t wait, you can visit artbizcoach.com to download some of the free information Alyson has there, get her book or to find a workshop near you. So I’m off to work the journaling exercise in the book aimed at helping me with writing my artist statement. Hope to have one for you to read when I next post.
Still smiling at the end of two days of the workshop!
This is a nice picture of you and Alyson and a very nice article, Terry. I am looking forward to starting our salon meetings and getting some of her great marketing ideas in place.
Thanks Connie. I’m looking forward to the meetings, too!
Terry….You are SO right. It was great to DO this learning LIVE. If I had stayed home and read, I would have never met you and all the others we are arranging to Salon with. So many great reasons it was worth leaving my studio for, too.
Liz…and the Salon is coming together quite nicely, too. We’re going to get a lot out of our investment in taking the workshop.
Nice site, Terry!! I’m excited that you were able to take Alyson’s class – I know I really enjoyed the online one I took from her a couple of years ago….
Thanks cynthia – it was an exciting class – a group of us are going to keep it going a bit using her artbizconnections salon material. Just finished getting that set up.
Sounds like you are off to a great start! Alyson is great!
Thanks Robin. I just need to keep at it! Love your website and your art!
