Arty Designer help!

Options
Hi

I am new to this board...I normally go on the shop, don't drop / grabbit and the freebies boards!

I hope I am posting in the right place....I am desperate to help my brothers fiancee...she is on benefits which she hates and is a fantastic artist.....I am sure she can make herself a business designing nurseries etc.

she has no confidence and I am not quite sure which way to direct her ....I have seen her artwork which is fabulous!

Can someone give me some advice to point her in the right direction?

thanks!
xx

    My sister got in contact with her local council, she nows runs classes for kids up to 10 (£35 PH classes last 3 hours and are in blocks of 10) 3-4 times a year. She also contacted schools and did mural projects after school with the kids (Usually £500 PW) and runs a birthday parties company where she offers Arty parties £70 pp

    Artshub have good art job listings. also check out local adult colleges, universities.

    Also, get her to try selling her artwork on ebay. Could be a winner.
