Speaking & press
I talk about the business side of being a creative: pricing, selling without feeling gross, and content that brings in buyers instead of other artists. Everything you need to book me or write about me is on this page.
Here's a little about me!
Kelsey Rodriguez is an oil painter turned business and marketing coach for artists and creatives. She’s built an audience of 300,000+ across socials, been viewed on YouTube over 16 million times, and has helped hundreds of artists turn their passions into a profitable business.
Her core belief is that the "starving artist" trope is a self-fulfilling prophecy, one that exists only because institutions like art schools have historically neglected educating their students on the basics of entrepreneurship. She's filling that gap.
Three talks I can give in my sleep.
Whether it's for a 20 minute keynote, a 60 minute panel, or a 90 minute workshop, here are three topics I'm happy to talk about any day.
The "starving artist" myth is a prison in our minds.
I can give you the exact roadmap to make six figures from your art in six months.
Still photos and timelapses don't sell art, but story does.
