A little about me...
I’m Monique Storey, The Optimistic Artist
Several years ago I found myself in a new city with no job, no community and no plan, but a heart full of possibility. Fast forward many hours trying different strategies to sell my art, mistakes made and a ton of experience gained; and ultimately, I found a winning strategy.
Using the power of story and a solid launch strategy, I built a community of engaged collectors, created demand for my work and sold out an entire online collection in 3 minutes! Several years and many, many sold out launches later I’ve learnt a thing or two about marketing art, whilst also thriving as a mum and creative.
I am passionate about helping driven artists – who are overwhelmed by the mystery of making money – go from feeling stuck, unsupported and underpaid to confident, connected business owners with an audience who are excited to buy their work online.
If you want to work hard to create a life of creativity and flexibility I’m so excited to meet you and share the four things that helped me turn my hobby into a profitable business.
