You've finished the edit. The image looks incredible! You are proud beyond measure and want to share it as a gift to the world, but a big part of you wonders, is it valuable?

Many artists struggle with the value of their art. There are many questions surrounding the concept of value.

Where can I sell it?
How much do I sell it for?
Are people interested in it?
Etsy, Fine Art America, Craft Shows, Galleries, Private Collectors... where do we even begin?!?!

I'm not the person who knows this information, but I'm close friends with someone who knows what to do with the finished work after the edit. His name is Jason Matias, and he has taught thousands of artists the art of selling art through his coaching program cleverly named: "The Art of Selling Art".

I'm going to sit down with Jason and ask him some questions in a Podcast style Live Event. You'll see our conversation and then get to ask questions.

You can join us on Thursday, February 19th, at 2 PM CDT

    Jason Matias
    The Art of Selling Art
    ’m Jason—ex-bomb builder (USAF) turned artist, author, and firm believer that your walls should make you feel something.

    I’m originally from New York, but the military threw me into extremes I never knew existed—and after that, going back just didn’t feel right. Since then, I’ve called Hawaii, Alaska, Nevada, the Pacific Northwest, and soon, Arizona home.

    These days, I build stillness. I wait for the light, the silence, the story in the scene. I believe in making art, not just taking photographs. Every piece holds more than just the light that entered the lens—there’s intention, creativity, patience, and presence poured into each frame.

    My style? I call it comfortable isolation—a quiet moment suspended in time. I chase compositions that transport you. Somewhere quieter. Somewhere you can breathe.

    Some collectors say my work feels like a portal. Others say it grounds them. I love hearing both—because that’s the point. Art should do something. It should shift your energy when you walk into the room. It should invite you to slow down, reflect, and feel a little more human.
