You're an artist with BIG dreams!
You have no idea how to get there.
let me help!
You love the idea of earning an income (or at least some money) by selling your art. There's just one problem...
I'm too shy/old/busy/inexperienced.
What should I spend my time on?
I won't make any money.
Where & who should I sell my art to?
I'll never be the one to tell you it's a quick or easy process. It usually takes time (ie. at least a few years) to build a thriving art business, even a part-time one.
But it is possible and can be VERY fulfilling!
Maybe you're just starting out. Or maybe you've been an artist for awhile, but haven't seen any real traction yet. And you have concerns...
so why should you work with me?
- Licensed over 100 designs, working with companies like Pyrex, Party City, Workman Publishing, and Cloud9 Fabrics designing everything from fabric to frisbees.
- Sold products directly to 1000s of digital scrapbooking customers on multiple online platforms.
- Taught 30k students about the business side of art (especially how to pitch & price your work).
- And most recently, I'm working as an agent for one of the best art agencies, Jennifer Nelson Artists.
So I understand the unique challenges of navigating an art career and am deeply passionate about helping YOU achieve your goals!

Consultation FAQs
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Because of the limited number of consultations available, we require you cancel your session by emailing hello@sketchdesignrepeat.com a minimum of 48 hours before your scheduled time. If you cancel 48 or more hours beforehand, you will receive a full refund.* If you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment, NO REFUND will be given.
*We use Euros and exchange rates change daily. If you use another currency please be aware that the refund amount you receive may not be exactly what you paid. We are NOT responsible for paying you for the difference in the exchange rate.
What days/times is Shannon available for consultations?
Consults are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, alternating mornings and afternoons (in Dublin, Ireland) every other week. Sessions can be booked up to 4 months in advance.
Click here to view ALL currently available times – they should appear in your local time zone. Times with a (P) at the end indicate afternoon times. Due to Shannon's busy schedule, she's not able to offer sessions outside these times.
If I need to reschedule, how do I do that?
Please use the rescheduling link in your confirmation email to reschedule your call. However, you are required to reschedule a minimum of 48 hours ahead of your original time.
If you have any issues rescheduling, please email hello@sketchdesignrepeat.com.
How do I know which consultation option is right for me?
The mini consultation is best when you have 1-2 questions to ask OR 1-3 SINGLE portfolio designs to review (mini collections are also ok) – you will be asked to fill out an intake form after scheduling your session to provide your questions and/or upload images. This form MUST be completed no later than 48 hours before your session.
IF you want her to review more than 3 single designs/1 large collection OR you have many questions, please schedule a 50-minute call so there's ample time to cover everything together.
IMPORTANT: If you schedule a mini consult and ask to review more than 3 portfolio designs OR 2 questions, you will be asked to narrow down your questions/designs. If you feel that is not possible, you'll be refunded and asked to schedule a full consultation instead.
Will Shannon be available for additional questions after my consult?
After your consultation, you'll receive an email with a link to a recording of your session as well as any links to resources discussed to allow you to revisit them anytime. If you have short follow up questions on something that was covered or want to share changes you've made to portfolio designs based on her feedback, then yes – Shannon will be happy to respond!
However, ongoing support via email is not something that Shannon currently offers as part of her 1-on-1 consultations. If you have additional questions you'd like answered or new designs you'd like her to review, please schedule another session with her.
Will Shannon provide company recommendations or contact info?
While Shannon is happy to discuss which markets/products are best for your art and can offer opinions about companies you'd like to approach, she will not provide company names or art director contact info.
Please understand that as an agent working for Jennifer Nelson Artists it would be inappropriate for her to do so.
Can I be considered for representation by Jennifer Nelson Artists following my consultation with Shannon?
Shannon does not have the authority to decide who is offered representation by Jennifer Nelson Artists. Booking a consult with her is neither a conduit nor requirement for representation as an artist at JNA.
What if I have more questions before I sign up for a consultation?
No worries! Just email your questions to hello@sketchdesignrepeat.com and we'll help you out.
