Globally there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of unimaginably creative, talented, expert artists that deeply fear selling their art usually down to either lack of confidence in their work or lack of ability to sell it. It’s a major problem plaguing creatives standing in the way of them going full-time with their creative fruits.
That is, until they speak with Maria-Katharina Richter’s founder of highly rated Art of you. When an artist sees no monetary gain from their work they often at times struggle or even lose touch with their creativity according to Maria. After all, you have bills to pay, food to put on the table and without monetisation you’re forced to get a job, that job eats up your hours leaving you with less time to think, and create, slowly your talents and creativity begin to perish.
Art of You, Marias company is an organization that helps artists self-actualize, live their purpose, and monetize their art and creative talents. Born in Hamburg Germany where she lived until 11 years old before moving to a town in Spain called Javea, between Valencia and Alicante after the separation of her parents, Maria has gone through the turmoil with bullying for being German, overweight, ADHD, fell into a slump of partying with the wrong crowd, a mentally abusive first partner, starting and closing 2 company’s, having her ideas stolen, working with Vivienne Westwood, the list goes on.
Maria did a very revealing interview for Influencive where you can get the full scoop on her backstory from a child until now.
Now, Maria has made it out the other end and founded Art of you in 2017 after qualifying as a transformational coach.
Maria and her company have made some noise within the artistic community and we wanted to know why.
Art of You helps 2 types of people, one being the “I am not a creative” person or artistic hobbyist to unleash their full “Creative Potential” and thrive holistically (mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually) by bringing their creations into the world.
Type two being, the artist or person looking to go full-time by monetising their talents. In short, how to predictably generate clients in love with your work and willing to shell out the asking price.
Being in the entrepreneurship space I haven’t seen much of this, in fact, I know not a single soul fixing this problem.
According to Maria-Katharina Richter’s she prides herself on creating a safe space for her clients ensuring they feel they are fully accepted for who they are with no judgment. This enables the client to feel comfortable opening up to her and therefore open to a deep transformation in a short space of time – whether it be for person A. who wants to unleash their inner creative OR person B. who wants to generate predictable profits from their art work.
Maria recently shared nuggets of gold for artists and creatives within a Thrive Global interview, you can see if you could get your name on her roster at Art of you for either assistance with the unleashing of your inner creative OR tried, tested and proven strategies to shift art sales and become a highly profitable artist, by connecting with Maria at either one or all of the platforms here:
If you’d like to cut to the gold, Maria has just released a video course for artists “Kickstart Your Art Business Starter Guide” for visual artists who want to set sustainable foundations to kickstart their Full Time Art Business. The link will take you to a no-cost ebook here followed by the introduction to the Course.
