About Renée Phillips
The Artrepreneur Coach
Welcome & Congratulations!
If you found me it's because you have dared to pursue your dreams of becoming an Artist and are ready to take your career to the next level!
Now, whether you are beginning or advanced you are ready to share your Art with the world. Perhaps you have reached a point where you could use some objective professional feedback, direction and expertise.
Let me help you turn Your Creative Passion Into Prosperity!
Since 1980 I have been helping artists advance their careers because I have a passion to do this. I learned as an art student at The Art Students League that art schools provide wonderful art studio techniques but do not prepare artists for successful careers. I decided to fill that void by becoming an expert in the business of being an artist.
Your
art is a reflection of how you respond to life - your emotions, your
experiences, your values, beliefs and choices - the sum of what makes
you unique. So, let its energy reverberate throughout the world.
(Renée Phillips, from her book Success NOW! For Artists)

"Prior to the consultation you had obviously thoroughly reviewed my web site and supporting documents. Your feedback was therefore customized rather than generic. You offered me a host of powerful, relevant options." John Zeuli www.johnzeuliphotography.com |
I have been blessed with having the opportunity to counsel thousands of full- and part-time artists and agents from around the globe working in a wide range of styles and media, ages, education and ethnic backgrounds. I have counseled administrators, educators and advertising executives, one of the Beatles’ personal photographers, a Nobel Prize winner, a well-known television actor, the grandchild of a famous Surrealist, and a noted plastic surgeon who was also a sculptor.

"The encouragement and excellent advice you gave to me is already moving me in new directions. You have opened up so many new avenues to me in the art world. I can't stop exploring all that you suggested." Deborah Colliander www.DeborahColliander.com |
Aspiring and established artists have sought my advice on a variety of subjects from creating a business plan, to selecting the right galleries for their work and how to appproach them, to generating publicity for their upcoming exhibition -- and everything in between!
There is no one size fits all. I read and listen to you and your goals and I take a thorough, personalized approach to providing you with the career direction that best fits your needs.

"Thank you for sharing your wisdom and valuable advice. I appreciate the work you did to compile that wonderful list of exhibition possibilities for me. Helen P. Shipman www.HelenPShipman.com |
I will share my knowledge and experience with you.
My career has been extremely rewarding. My vast experience in NYC as an artists' advocate, curator, arts writer, author (three books) including the best selling comprehensive resource "The Complete Guide to New York Art Galleries", public speaker, art magazine founder, editor and publisher (17 years), Founder/Director of Manhattan Arts International "A Network of Artrepreneurs", and Founder/Director of The Healing Power of Art. All of these experiences have provided a broad range of knowledge. It has given me tremendous insight into the workings of the art business world. (To read Renée's full length biography click here.)

"You provided many creative suggestions that will help take my career to the next level. I was impressed with your vast expertise and thorough preparation." Lawrence Schneider www.lawrenceschneider.com |
My please is in providing an abundance of experience, knowledge, resources and references to help artists of all styles, mediums and career levels.
Plus, I also know firsthand how challenging it is to be a professional artist. I was a self-supporting artist before deciding to be "The Artrepreneur Coach."
My greatest career achievement is helping creative individuals discover their strengths, visualize their dreams, and achieve their highest potential.
