The Advantages to E-Newsletters



Having a monthly newsletter was one of the best things that I could have done for myself and I highly recommend it to every artist. In the beginning I was a little reticent and had a hard time composing the letter. I questioned my own "worthiness" and wondered did my art career deserve to be highlighted each month. My reluctance to "brag" about my accomplishments and "show off" my latest paintings was a real hurdle that needed to be addressed.

To my surprise after sending out the very first newsletter I received so many positive responses and encouraging words that I quickly got over the insecurities and doubts and now enjoy "sharing" my latest paintings and accomplishments. Not to mention the benefits of being able to advertise my workshops and also great art shows that have moved me and hopefully will bring others to see and open discussions.

Having a monthly newsletter also encourages and motivates my work to come to some kind of conclusion. There are still many paintings that hang around in limbo gathering dust but ones that I am feeling good about and know that they have merit I am just itching to post on my newsletter.
I hope you will all consider starting your own!
