How to be an independent artist

Hello, I am Rotondwa Muofhe Manavhela more formally know as just Muofhe Manavhela. I am a practicing artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa and have been for the past five years. With all humility possible, I consider myself to be successful (and still in pursuit of it) in my career.

The first five years of my career have not been easy. Lots of mistakes, lots of tears, lots of lessons. I always say that every lesson I have learnt about art, I have learnt through making a mistake. And while I embrace this, I honestly do not want the same for you, because at the end of it, these mistakes are little heartaches for someone who just loves what they do.

So, I have taken the time and intent to develop this course, as part of a bigger thing I am developing (The Dealer) and I want you to just note one thing: this is for artists, by an artist.

This course goes through full on vulnerability, from me, of all my experiences and mistakes to guide you through the establishing of your career. I have also employed a few friends and colleagues along the way to give the best expertise on some of these topics, so this course is intentionally curated. By the end of it, you should be ready to make your first sale and build momentum.aau
