Why should you take our advice? Make Art That Sells is an international collaboration, set up in 2013, between top art agent, Lilla Rogers, founder of Lilla Rogers Studio, and entrepreneur and author, Beth Kempton, founder of Do What You Love. Together they create fun, inspirational and highly successful online courses to help creative people like you make a living from making art.
We offer a fantastic range of online courses to support your creative career and make your work pop. Our courses will help you understand the most lucrative markets for art, and show you how to boost your portfolio with stellar work!
As well as being an agent, Lilla is also a former illustrator (creating work for The Grammy’s, Vogue, Rolling Stone among others) so she understands what art directors are looking for. She’s a caring, supportive mentor who will make you believe in yourself, your art and your career potential. Assignments are for all levels and are broken down into manageable pieces. All our co-teachers are professionals in the art and illustration industry, between them, purchasing and commissioning art for millions of dollars’ worth of products every single year.
