I was looking at previous iterations of my website I was looking at previous iterations of my website throughout the years the other day. The first image here is from 2008. I loved it at the time, but never really finished it because I discovered WordPress and built the one in the second image. Currently in the planning stage of a brand new website for myself, since this cobbler’s children have really crappy shoes.
@laura_lee_griffin and @nikkimayart introduce you @laura_lee_griffin and @nikkimayart introduce you to Hannah Cole, an artist, educator, and founder of Sunlight Tax (@sunlighttax). Hannah educates fellow artists about taxes and money because she believes creative people are the empathy builders of our culture and when they’re financially secure and empowered, they can make bigger, bolder work that will fix our broken world. Her flagship program is Money Bootcamp, a membership which builds financial skills and fosters a healthy relationship with money and power so that artists can get back to changing the world with their important work. She teaches practical valuable life changing money skills in an art-centric and approachable style. In this episode, we begin by hearing Hannah’s Startist story, and then dig into some really useful tips artists can use as you work through your taxes this season! Although the general information she provides will apply to many artists, please note her tax expertise is focused on US taxes.
