Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maria Brophy has been a business consultant to creative entrepreneurs since 2009 and has been art agent to her husband Drew Brophy for over fifteen years.

Her latest book, ART, MONEY & SUCCESS, incorporates the success strategies she's used to bring Drew Brophy's art to the masses through art licensing, collaborations and non-conventional business deals. (If you bought the book, you can get the free download to the ART, MONEY & SUCCESS companion workbook here: http://eepurl.com/cXRS7D )

In her former life, Maria worked in the corporate world for two agonizing decades before she escaped the grind of 9 to 5. She has enjoyed her freedom as an entrepreneur ever since.

Maria has deliberately designed her life for non-stop adventure, traveling extensively with her husband and two kids while surfing and backpacking some of the most magical places in the world.

Maria has authored several books on business and produced a television show called The Paint Shop with Drew Brophy. She works one-on-one with artists and spiritual entrepreneurs, helping them to learn powerful business strategies that will enable them to realize their dream lifestyles.

It is Maria’s vision to guide entrepreneurs to easily carry out their own mission of healing and creativity. She believes that the term “starving artist” will become a silly thing of the past, and is doing her part to put that paradigm to rest for good.

Easy to read, great ideas, implementable actions. Would recommend this book to ALL artists to learn how to treat your art like a business, not a hobby.

I wish this book had been available 10 years ago as there are answers to many questions I have agonised over in the past. Maria's style provides clarity and actionable steps while addressing the emotional barriers that might get in the way. Gold!

Not relevant to most artists

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2019

Verified Purchase

The advice given in the book would only suit someone with a background in sales as it talks about aggressive marketing and selling tactics. Most artists are introverts so this wouldn’t be relevant at all.

Excellent down-to-earth practical advice for ambitious artists/designers/crafters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2021

Verified Purchase

After I gave up teaching to pursue my dream of making my living as an artist, I bought this book on the recommendation of Michelle Lloyd, the founder of United Artspace. It is the most useful and informative book on building an art career that I've read. My fine art degree didn't equip me to survive in the modern world (the career advice I got basically boiled down to: "Try to get picked up by a big London gallery. Oh, and good luck"). It turns out that there are plenty of ways to survive, make money and even positively thrive as an artist in our connected society. Maria Brophy demonstrates it clearly in this book. What's more, she shows you how to do it in a way that avoids "selling out" or slimy aggressive sales techniques. You can sell your art by being principled and straightforward. Who knew? It was also news to me that the gallery system is no longer the only way (or even the main way) to sell your art or craft. Instead, Brophy shows that using the internet, and being willing to step just a little outside your comfort zone, allows you to be in control of the money your art generates. If you don't want to be dependent on a gallery, you don't need to. Woohoo!! Her advice is applicable to all artists, designers and craftspeople and it hits home because what she writes is what she has practiced since the 90s with her painter husband Drew Brophy, probably the world's most successful surf-art painter.
Brophy starts with the basics, such as "What do you want from your art career?" finding your niche and how to identify your ideal buyer. Short exercises with worksheets help you to establish these. She then takes you step by step through promoting your work, live events, copyright issues, negotiating, making sales, contracts, and pretty much any situation or problem that you are likely to come across as an artist, designer or craftsperson. After some simple business habits and systems, she ends with some inspiration for executing grandiose visions.
I feel better equipped for my new career having read this book and I know I will be referring back to it again in the coming months and years. It's all solid practical advice and information! I've read quite a few artists' guidance and personal development books and they can often have flabby bits you can skip, but this book is packed from start to finish with great ideas and sound advice! If it were a burger, it would be 100% prime beef.

The best ally that an artist could have:

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2017

Verified Purchase

Many people nurture the dream of successfully bringing their art into the world and earning a living in the process. This book shows how it can be accomplished.
Via the well-crafted chapters of Art Money & Success, Maria guides us first inwardly (because mindset is so very important and unless our psychological compasses can be relied upon, we may not end up where we intended to go) and then outwardly: in the process of finding ways to earn money from artworks, Maria shares the many challenges, revelations, successes and pitfalls that she encountered in over two decades of working with her artist husband Drew.
As I see it, Maria is the best ally that an artist could have.

Each chapter covers a different subject to study and master - these pillars of knowledge will serve the reader in other departments of life too - not just in the business of creating and selling art (e.g. the advice pertaining to Negotiation and the chapter on Networking).
There is so much actionable material in this book that even highly established practitioners will discover strategies that could augment/enhance their existing way of operating and magnify the value of their works.
The value of this material to an emerging artist or debutante is potentially huge - when projected into their future - as long as they ACT on what they read.... which brings me to an important point:
This is a book that MUST be acted upon: it presents a receptive reader with so much knowledge that to not follow through on it would leave some pretty existential questions in the reader's mind... Questions to which the book, incidentally, has answers!.. It's more than just a Book: it's also a Mirror in which a person can perceive a reflection of their desire to make their art a success.

So, I heartily recommend that people involved in any creative endeavor read this book, work through these valuable pages and implement the advice to be found here.
In the business of making a living from your own artwork, the trajectory of the journey and the ultimate destination are both decided by you.

I’ve honestly not read a book for over twenty years for fun but am now half way through this one - I’m an illustrator (11fingersart) and have been for many years in different avenues and have always struggled to think out the box when it comes to the next step - making money and getting noticed - obviously I’ve not seen the fruit yet but already my mind is open to new ideas and how to approach the marketing side - Maria really writes as if she’s speaking to you over a coffee - she has a great open approach and just gets your mind thinking differently - I can honestly say I can’t put it down and along with a notebook ( writing this time ) you should follow the instructions as it opens your mind set - gives you ideas not answers , gives you a path to explore - she’s honest , open
Minded and pushes some marketing buttons you wouldn’t of thought of - no hesitation from me
