Artist, do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to your website? You’re not alone. It’s not a one-and-done thing — your website is more like a garden. It grows with you, one seed at a time, with a little care and attention along the way.

You’re invited to join this ARTIST TABLE TALK with Tina Flint, a website strategist who believes less is more. Less tech stress, more of what actually gets results. Tina creates simple, strategic websites with copy and SEO designed to turn browsers into buyers — no marketing hamster wheel required.

A great website isn’t just about looking pretty — it should actually work for you. We’ll cover:
Simple updates that make a big difference
How to refine your copy and design to attract buyers
SEO strategies that work — without the overwhelm

Whether you’re building your first site or refreshing your current one, this talk is for you. Join us and learn how to create a website that supports your art business — and helps it grow.

About the instructors

Alex Cole

Instructor / Artist

Coming from an art rich background, I was fortunate to have creative parents who recognized my talents at an early age and encouraged me to pursue my passion. I received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. After graduating in 1995, I continued my painting practice and began to exhibit my work at galleries and art spaces on the East Coast.

In 1997, I moved to Sonoma, California and continued my painting practice and also began working in art administration and teaching at the Sonoma Community Center. I began teaching art classes to young and old and became the Fine Arts Director, hiring nationally known artists to teach  workshops and guest lectures. During this time I found my love of teaching. The most inspired time teaching was encouraging artist and non-artista alike to find the fun in letting go, unplugging and tapping into their creative selves. I now teach workshops in my home studio as well as out in beautiful locations around the Bay Area. I have solo & group shows throughout the year as well as permanent venues that have my work.
