Thanks for your comments. I agree with your suspicions about your audience. Even when you target people with money who are predisposed to like your art, keep in mind you have to remind them frequently about you and your art. Not everyone, in fact, most are not ready to buy art at any given moment. Google’s latest research shows it takes 21-24 touches before someone is moved to buy. If you have a small list and you infrequently communicate with them, you are going to have a tough time selling your work. Will Rogers said, “Just because you’re on the right track doesn’t mean you won’t get run over if you don’t keep moving.” Take that advice and keep moving your messaging to your prospects through multiple means. In-person, email, postal mail, organic and paid traffic from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more. When you layer in your communications with a thematic message over time and means you give yourself the best chance for success. Keep after it, and good luck!

I suspect I have not not found the audience that both wants my work and can afford to buy it.
