As I discuss in smART business, the way you showcase your work is just as important as your work itself. I love to play around with styling ideas in my studio. Adding brightly colored fresh flowers, decorative bowls and related books is my tip for interesting and eye-catching photos. Make sure you set up your vignettes in a well lit area for bright natural lighting. I never use a flash.

smART Business available on iBooks
smART Business is available on iBooks for iPad and iPhone users for $8.99. smART business is a 54 page easy to read guide for all artists and crafters filled with practical tips and "how-to" photos on every page.
I believe we can all Profit from our Passion. This guide is different from most “how to succeed in business” books. I am not going throw reference materials your way for you to have to look somewhere else. The answers are right here. This book is about the choices I have made as an artist. My hope is that you will learn a little something from my experiences and be able to apply them to your own art or craft business…
Most of all, I want to inspire you to continue doing what you love! Featuring ~ Building Your Brand, Finding Your Niche, Don't Undersell Your Vision, Online Shop and Blog Tips, Time Management, Social Media, Art/Craft Show Checklist, Stay Inspired and a great Resource List with links!
I have sold thousands of paintings worldwide, and I am the editor of the popular art and design blog, Bright Bold and Beautiful. I hope this book will inspire you and serve as a guide to achieve your goals!
Reviews:
This is both a beautifully written and presented book. It's stunning pictures and common sense logic on building a creative business is priceless. Laura has articulated all the common sense we as artists sometimes forget. It's a valuable tool to have that is a constant reminder to keep it simple, be true to your art, and don't cut corners. I love it and now feel confident that I can turn my art into business. Laura is an elegant artist and business woman with a generosity and kindness that shines through on every page of this beautiful, must have book... Laura has successfully followed her own advice and is happy to give away her secrets.
