How can I help you?
I’ve been in the art business for a long time, and these are things that I find useful. I plan to also have downloadable resources and guides for you here too.
Links to things I use in my art business:
These are affiliate links which give me a few pennies for sharing, but often will get you a discount too, depending on the individual service/product. It never costs you anything to click these.
I only link to products and services I use and recommend, and hope they might be useful for you too.
My Amazon Storefront:
Amazon Lists for You
I only put things I’ve used (or the closest version) on these shopping lists. Drawing, painting, books, studio equipment, printing, filming gear… it’s all here. Let me help you figure out what you need to level-up your art practice. (Or to buy a gift for an artist in your life.)
Become a Skillshare Teacher:
Apply to Teach on Skillshare
Skillshare now approves new teachers to help ensure quality classes make it onto the platform. Use my link to apply, and if you’re approved, you'll be invited into one of the teaching programs to get you producing classes, growing your following, and earning money doing what you love.
Artwork Archive:
Artwork Archive provides the tools for artists, collectors and organisations to organise, manage, share and showcase their artwork. From inventory and consignment reports to sales and invoices, contacts management, and location tracking, they aim to be everything you need to get organised and manage your career. I am so glad I finally signed up. It makes my art business so much easier and saves me time. Save $ on your new plan.
Scrivener:
Scrivener is the go-to app for writers of all kinds, used every day by best-selling novelists, screenwriters, non-fiction writers, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators and more.
(I plan classes, lessons, books, blog posts, website copy and more using Scrivener. I’ve used it for over 15 years.)
Loop Earplugs to Cut Distractions:
I was using a different brand of “focus” earplugs but finally took the plunge for Loop (I have Engage Plus) and I love them. If you struggle with background noises at home (electronics humming and buzzing, ticking clocks, noises outside), or need better ability to focus on conversations in busy places (or find busy places overwhelming), then these might help you too. Here is 15% off your first Loop Earplugs. I hope you like them.
BackBlaze:
Backblaze Unlimited Backup
“World’s Easiest Cloud Backup”

Mac or PC. I’ve been using BackBlaze for more than a decade. It’s the best. I also back up with TimeMachine on Mac, and iCloud, but BackBlaze is the safety net if I need EVERYTHING. Just get it.
