I am now operating as a freelance artist. My income is a combination of ‘Carers Allowance’ and ‘Tax Creditis’ with a discount of sorts for ‘Council Tax Benefit’. The advice I have recieved is to earn only £5k or £25k as if I earn anything inbetween I will loose money.
I have been offered a month’s exhibition space in Oxford as part of Oxfordshire’s Artweeks’ 2012.
So I have spent the year painting towards this end. I should have around 25 new works for this show. I am now musing over prices. I know what will sell in the local Art’s Club exhibitions and what sort of prices … low!
