KATHY BEEKMAN
Let's Work Together
Why?
As a professional artist, I make my living within the art world. I work with galleries, art consultants, art licensing agents, have my own greeting card business, create and guide artist retreats, teach art workshops and work with artists just like you become successful at what they want to do. I love doing all of this.
