About the Presenter:
Jackie Battenfield is
an artist known for her luminously colored paintings and prints of
natural forces. Her works explore her fascination with the most
abstract qualities of landscape--storms, clouds, brushfires, and water
ripples. For the last twenty years, she has made a living from her art
and is a popular motivational speaker on the challenges of sustaining a
successful career in the visual arts.
For sixteen years, Battenfield directed the post graduate seminars for The Artist in the Marketplace Program
(AIM) at the Bronx Museum of the Arts and currently teaches
professional practices in the graduate program at Columbia University
and for the Creative Capital Foundation. Through these programs she has mentored over three thousand artists.
Battenfield is the author of The Artist's Guide: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love, Da Capo Press, 2009. For more information about Jackie and the book go to: http://www.artistcareerguide.
