The Creative Endeavour

Maria Brophy is an art marketing genius and author of the book "Art Money Success". Her beginnings were in marketing and business, before she married renowned surf artist Drew Brophy. Maria is also a speaker, educator and a creative success coach. Her teachings and her book cover many of the foundational things that are essential considerations for the creative professional not to mention incredible strategies for navigating the world as we find it. Her book has become one of my favourites on the topic of art business, and is a must read for any artist wanting to turn their passion into their career.
