Hi Joyce,
The book is for anyone who wants to make an income selling art to interior design professionals. Dick Harrison, my co-author, worked more than 20 years representing the work of many artists to interior designers in Florida. Although he did carry his own work, under a pseudonym to avoid embarrassing unnecessary conversations when his art was not selected or criticized, I believe he would have had great success without selling his own work. If you are interested in learning a different side of the interior design business, or think you would like to start your own art rep firm, this book is for you even if you do not create your own art.

I just got this email about your new book about selling art to interior designers. Among my passions are art and interior design. I have pursued art as a great hobby and worked in an interior design company in New York. Does the book address someone who does not produce art myself but loves it for its own sake?

It is a worldwide market. Just google Interior Designers for any country or city in the world and see the number that are listed. I googled “Interior Designers Dubai” and found that major firms with offices in other countries had offices there, tapping into oil rich clients. Designers “follow the money” and with your tips on marketing through the Internet an artist’s market is anywhere. Forbes puts out a list of “most expensive zip codes in the US. Expensive zip codes are where IDs have their offices.

Another positive I found traveling thousands of miles to hundreds of design firms is that these are honest people. In 20+ years I was never “stiffed” my an ID. I sold some IDs art work year after year once they knew what sort of art I carried. One top designer I met when she was just staring out began looking at art sitting at the dining room table in her home, Years later I was still selling her art, meeting in the plush office she had established in the high rent district of Palm Beach. Her assistants sat in and picked art for projects they were working on.
