The foundation for your next era of visibility, sales, and resonance is here

The Liberated Artist Blueprint®: Strategic Squarespace Design + Brand Clarity for High-Integrity Artists Building Meaningful, Lasting Careers

A soulful, strategic, conversion-smart brand + website experience for those ready to be seen—and ready to share (and sell) their work with confidence.

Whether you’re already selling or finally claiming that this isn’t just a hobby anymore, your art deserves more than a website that “sort of works.”

It deserves a whole ecosystem designed to hold your story, reflect your brilliance, and do some of the heavy lifting while you’re in the studio doing what you actually love.

Created specifically for visual artists—painters, illustrators, ceramicists, and creative educators—this all-in-one experience blends brand clarity, elevated visuals, and story-led Squarespace design that looks good, sounds like you, and sells.

The irony of artistic growth:

Your artwork is leveling up—but your sales, visibility, or traction… not so much.

You’re finally in your stride.
Or maybe, you're just now claiming your stride.

You’re creating with intention. You’re starting to value your work more. You’re sensing the momentum, but your online presence isn’t rising to meet it.

This is the most meaningful and aligned art you’ve ever created.

So… where’s the resonance?
Where are the sales, the inquiries, the collectors, the yeses?

With an artist website this beautifully dialed in to you and your work, you could...

  • Launch your next collection—or your first one—with pride

  • Say yes to that dream collab, podcast invite, or licensing lead (and look legit when they Google you)

  • Stand out in a saturated market—without shouting

  • Apply to shows, grants, and residencies with confidence (no shame clicking "submit")

  • Cold-email that gallery or agent—and sound like a pro

  • Share your work online in a way that feels true to you—not salesy, not exhausting

  • Sell more, teach more, connect more, and build a business around your art that actually supports your life

Because when your website reflects who you are—and where you’re going—the world responds differently.

Real Artist. Real Leap.

Here’s what mentorship client Stefanie Stark shared after launching her new brand and website:

I connected with Serena and Lily, a renowned national furniture and decor store when they opened a location in my area. I took a chance and reached out to them with a cold email and am excited that they responded. Today, I spoke with them, and I’m thrilled to share we will partner!

I want to share the feedback they gave me about my website. They said it was great and showed that I am a serious and professional artist.

This new partnership is a meaningful forward step in my art career. Thank you!

Psst… That’s what happens when your brand catches up to the artist you’ve already become.

Just like Louise, Rebecca, or Robin—

you’re not just crafting a brand. You’re making your mark.

You’re stepping into the next era of your art career—with clarity.

Whether you're building on years of experience, pivoting into something new, or finally showing up like you mean it—this is about creating a brand and website that’s strategic, soulful, and shaped by your definition of success.

We’ll integrate your past, present, and future into an online presence that not only reflects your art—but elevates it.

I’m Mariana… hi friend!

Artist mindset coach, brand strategist, and full-body yes-generator for creative people who are done shrinking their brilliance online.

I work with artists—emerging, established, and everywhere in between—who are ready to sell their work with clarity, confidence, and zero compromise.

No paint-by-number branding here. This is bespoke strategy rooted in your values, story, and the kind of business you actually want to build.

Over the years, I’ve helped clients land dream partnerships, attract serious collectors, and create websites that feel like them—while doing the real work of turning browsers into buyers.

Because you're not just an artist. You’re a meaning-maker. A pattern-breaker. A legacy-builder.

And you deserve a brand that honors all of that.

PROUD TO BE TRUSTED BY

The Liberated Artist Blueprint®

Your next era, built on purpose.

A high-touch, custom brand experience for artists at any level that blends elevated visual branding, story-driven messaging, and a strategy-led Squarespace website—crafted specifically for artists.

You’ll walk away with:

  1. A personal, elevated brand voice that makes it easy to share your work online— (aka: story-first, sleaze-free art marketing that actually sounds like you)

  2. A 24/7 online home that builds connection, not just clicks—
    (because real collectors aren’t random, they’re nurtured)

  3. A visual identity that matches the caliber of your work
    (so you can show up confidently in any room, virtual or otherwise)

  4. A polished “brand vocabulary” of design assets
    (logos, colors, fonts, and elements that work across your site, print, and socials)

  5. The peace of mind that comes from working with someone who gets you—and gets the art world
    (no need to explain why selling your art isn’t the same as selling socks)

More Than a Website—It’s a Strategic Foundation for Your Art Career

You’re getting multiple foundational pieces of your digital marketing strategy at once.

LET’S EXPLORE THE LAB

How the Liberated Artist Blueprint® Works

A soulful strategy meets high-impact design—in two transformative parts.

the deep dive

A 3-hour brand intensive where introspection meets business mentorship

We’ll lay the foundation for a brand that feels true—and works hard.

  • Clarify your vision and define what makes your work unforgettable

  • Understand your audience and how to design an experience they’ll remember

  • Uncover your story, values, and approach—then shape the strategy behind it all

No fluff. It’s the inner work that makes your outer presence magnetic.

THE INTEGRATION

A 2-week design sprint where strategy becomes your soul-aligned online presence

We turn clarity into content—and strategy into structure.

  • A refined, art-forward brand identity you’re proud to share

  • Copywriting that sounds like you and sells like a dream

  • A custom Squarespace website that’s both beautiful and strategic

  • Messaging that reflects your version of success—not someone else’s formula

This is where everything clicks into place—and your next-level presence takes form.

To avoid this fee, you can opt to pay via bank transfer.

Are you ready to give your art wings with a website you feel amazing about?

Stay in the flow while I take care of your online home!

→→ You could try to figure it all out yourself.

Throw together a website. Slap on a logo. Write some words that sort of sound like you. Maybe you already have.

But if you’re still here, I’m guessing something feels… off. Because the site that got you here? It’s not the one that’ll get you where you’re going.

→→ You could piece it out to different people.

A designer here, a developer there (yes, they’re different), a copywriter, a brand strategist.

Like one of my past clients did—and paid over $50K for a site that took forever and still lacked a unifying vision.

Not only is that a project-management headache, it’s also a strategy gap. Who’s making sure all the parts actually work together to sell your art?

(Hint: it’s usually no one.)

→→ Or you could do nothing.

a) Let your work keep piling up—on your studio floor, your mom’s wall, your camera roll. Hope a gallery discovers you. Slowly lose steam. All while that little voice keeps whispering:

“You need a website.”
And it’s right.

OR—

b) Stick with the “good enough for now” website. Until you realize your biggest visibility tool is actually working against you. And those dream opportunities? Well, they’re on the rearview mirror. Welp.

Mariana Durst artist branding expert
