Artist Anya Warda

Before: "I only knew what the art establishment and the art school told me: art contests and galleries. That's all I knew. So I had no idea what else to do, and whatever I was doing, it wasn't working."

Now: "So I have sales every single month. I have never had that in my whole life. This is big for me every month, February, March, April, May already.

I sold! I made money."

Artist Jina Kim

Before: "Before I joined the program, my top two challenges were lack of confidence and not knowing what to do."

Now: "The biggest result of this program during COVID, during isolation right now, is to sell 11 paintings. What! I sold 11 paintings! I still cannot believe that it happened, and I have two more commissions coming.

I feel like crying."

Artist Matt Harline

Before: "Before I joined the Making Art Making Money program, I had a brain injury a few years ago and focused myself and thinking of the right words. I'm still having this problem."

Now: "So now it is mid-May, and I've gotten close to $2,000 so far this year. I mean, it's not a huge amount by any stretch of the imagination but it's double!"

Artist Debbie Dicker

Before: "It was that lack of confidence and which didn't match my abilities."

Now: "I just like buzzing with the excitement for where I'm going to go from here. This is more than just my business. This is about me."
