Many part-time painters dream of turning their art into a career, but don't know what it takes—or what it means—to
be a full-time artist. In this book, 21 painters, including Zoltan Szabo, Tom Hill, Charles Sovek, Nita Engle and others, share
their stories, inspiration and advice.
Cay Lang's Taking the Leap has helped thousands of artists jumpstart their careers and make real the dream of exhibiting
and selling their work. An internationally exhibited photographer and teacher, Lang offers the wisdom of experience, combined
with enthusiasm and gentle humor, to guide artists through the ins and outs of the art business. Practical and inspiring, this
revised and updated edition offers two new chapters—on using the Internet and the media to best effect—plus provides
step-by-step advice on preparing presentation materials; finding and dealing with galleries (as well as bypassing the traditional
gallery system); handling rights, royalties, and taxes; an extensive resource list; and other invaluable information for both
beginning artists and those ready to take the next step in their careers.

assemble a portfolio and set prices; and provides worksheets and self-tests to help readers focus their efforts.
