Ep83 – Jessica Singerman is a multidisciplinary artist and an outdoor athlete whose work is highly informed by the time she spends outdoors. Her work is all about connecting with people in that slower space and taking responsibility for the changes in the environment. Two years ago, Jessica took a full-time teaching position in the school of film at a local university, a change that greatly impacted her art business. While she loved her teaching job, the additional income lessened the pressure to sell her work, and that lack of pressure had a two-faceted effect. On the one hand, the amount of work Jessica sold was greatly reduced, and that meant that her studio was filling up with unsold pieces. On the other hand, she was able to give herself some grace creatively, exploring different media and techniques she had always wanted to try. The latter allowed her to hone skills that improved her practice. Overall, the last two years have been a positive experience for Jessica, but she’s ready to get back to selling more of her work. Her biggest problem seems to be generating leads. She knows how to move forward with the sale once someone expresses interest, but she’s considering hiring someone to help get her to that point. Listen in as we talk through a strategy that will help Jessica get back to selling more work.
