To those familiar with Make Art That Sells we hardly need to introduce Lilla Rogers! Lilla is the teaching force behind all our e-courses and our MATS alumni call her their Fairy Art Mother because she is dedicated to help passionate people create amazing and sustainable art.
On top of that, she runs Lilla Rogers’ art agency that represents 30+ artists, creates her own art and is an author.
We wondered, with all that going on, what does a day in Lilla’s life look like? She let us follow her for a whole day to find out.
