In 2017, the starving artist seems like a dying breed. Ecommerce and social selling have become increasingly effective means for independent artists to self-sufficiently fund their craft, and most importantly, to gain the independence to sell directly to their niche audiences. For galleries, the shift in the last two decades has allowed curators represent more artists and expand into affordable prints to reach larger audiences worldwide. I consulted two Shopify merchants actively making their living by selling art: Maria Qamar, the artist also known as Hatecopy and Ken Harman, the gallerist behind the Spoke Art empire. Through Maria and Ken’s personal experiences, we’ll walk through the ins and outs of the business of being an artist, sharing their tips to help you sell your art online.
