Freelance Artist

A Freelance Artist produces art pieces in a range of mediums. You might specialise in a type of artwork such as sculptures or paintings and you might put together collections of work in various themes. Freelance Artists may display their work for sale online or in an exhibition or gallery. You may also take commissions for customers who want to buy a specific piece of work.

Freelance Artists should have strong technical skills and a creative mind. It’s important you can work to a deadline and produce pieces of high quality. Freelance Artists should be able to communicate well with customers and may need to carry out a range of administrative tasks when marketing and selling their work.
