Present your art professionally to
Grab Attention, Sales, Awards, and Respect
For What It’s Worth. Literally.
Skill, effort, and experience are all valuable ingredients of your art. Those ingredients add to the value of the artwork. The problem is, they’re intangible and can easily be hidden when the art isn’t presented well.
Truly effective presentation takes away any distraction so the viewer can see and appreciate those ingredients.
No, a degree in Psychology or telepathy is not necessary. What you can do is entice a buyer or juror into a positive response by doing simple tasks, like cleaning up your artwork.
Take away anything that makes the art look and feel less than it is, and the perceived value rises. Presentation has the power to change a person’s reaction from “meh” to “oh, that’s cool! Is it available?”.
Put in the effort, and you will receive in return respect, sales, and successful application results.

As a customer, have you ever ordered something online and when it arrived it was not what you expected? Doesn’t it kill the enjoyment of the thing you bought? Of course, the next thing is to make a decision: return or keep?
If you return it, you’ll likely never go back to that vendor again, right?
If you keep it, if you’re like me you sure aren’t excited about it!
The legal problem can happen when a gallery or customer decides to sue you for misrepresentation.
So yes, accuracy is extremely important. Make sure you clean up your art, including making it colour accurate, before sharing it with your audience. With AI being a stronger influence on the art market now more than ever, it’s imperative that your audience gets what they see. Be in control of your art’s digital copies.

Returns. Not only do you have to give money back, but there’s also a chance the artwork will be damaged or lost during its trip back.
Your reputation flatlining. As we all know, on social media especially, people will share their outrage. So, a mis-step can mean your reputation, future sales and general business success will suffer.
Elimination. By sharing low-quality art, you could miss out on the opportunities you apply to.
And the really big one:
Legal action. Yes, sharing inaccurate images of your art can lead to you being sued for misrepresentation.
"Sonia was there when I desperately needed help with my images. I had a big deadline coming up, and the requirements had changed from the previous year. Sonia pulled me out of my panic, and I was accepted into the Juried Show! With Sonia’s help, I can now do the photo formatting on my own and know that my images will be spot on!"
