This bundle is a quiet, practical companion for artists committed to staying with their work over time.

The Real Work of Art brings together planning and reflection for the often unseen labour of a creative life, the persistence required after something doesn’t land, the discipline of return, and the steady work of continuing between one body of work and the next.

Rather than offering rigid strategies or aspirational promises, this bundle supports clarity, steadiness, and decision-making rooted in lived practice. It honours the reality that creative work unfolds in cycles, by wandering through thresholds and crossings, and that sustainable art-making requires both reflection and structure.

This digital bundle includes:

A Simple Creative Business Plan
A non-corporate, artist-centred planning document to help you clarify focus, offerings, capacity, income needs, and direction, without abandoning your values or creative integrity.

A Reflection Worksheet
A quieter companion designed to help you arrive honestly at where you are now, name what has ended or shifted, and identify how you want to return to the work.

A Quarterly Review Worksheet (Bonus!)
A cyclical review tool to help you pause, reflect on what has unfolded, and choose how to continue on your way.

This bundle is for you if:

-You are making work but questioning how to continue sustainably
-You feel caught between art-making and earning a living
-You are tired of advice that ignores emotional and creative labour
-You want structure without pressure, and clarity without urgency
-This is not about arriving, fixing, or forcing outcomes.
-It’s about staying with the work, and returning again.
