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!
