The Artist's Guide: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love, by Jackie Battenfield, is a comprehensive handbook that provides the information, tools, and techniques, for developing and sustaining a successful art career. It provides answers to the challenges artists face everyday and includes real-life examples, illustrations, step-by-step exercises, and bulleted lists that allow readers to dive in and begin working immediately.

Jackie Battenfield maintains her own career as a visual artist and teaches professional development classes at Columbia University and the Creative Capital Foundation. Jackie quotes frequently from Joanne Mattera, and this book sold out at the Montserrat Encaustic Conference 2009, where it made its debut.
