Artist Anya Warda

Making Art Making Money Student

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 during the pandemic. 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

Making Art Making Money Student

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 Leah Smithton

Before: "There's things that I would not have been able to figure out by myself or it would have taken years."

Now: "I shared my mission and they basically commissioned me to do a mural for them."

Artist Matt Harline

Making Art Making Money Student

Before: "Before I joined the Making Art Making Money program, I had a brain injury a few years ago. Focusing 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!"
