Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
- You dread writing about yourself or your art.
- You postpone your writing projects even though you know you need to have them for your marketing.
- You haven't defined (in words) what makes your art different from other artists.
- You're afraid your message is getting lost in the noise.
I'm Alyson Stanfield.
For 10 years, I served as a museum curator and educator in three different art museums.
That was a long time ago! But it has informed much of what I do – especially when I help artists (you!) relate to potential collectors and new audiences.
I believe that taking the time to develop a richer vocabulary around your art will open more doors than you can imagine.
I understand how people look at and appreciate your art. This understanding is the cornerstone of what you will learn in Magnetic You.
After years of showing my work locally, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, contacting galleries in other areas for representation. Of course, they asked for an artist bio and résumé. Using your tips as a guide, I was able to create an authentic, interesting bio and list of exhibits.
I feel confident in my art and my credentials presentation with your help.

After an email with Alyson, I did what she told me to do. Within 17 hours I sold a painting - as a DIRECT result of what she told me to do. It was so instant, it creeped me out. Thank you, Alyson!!!
