In this episode, Derik Hyatt chats with Art Business Consultant and wife of Drew Brophy ( @drewbrophy ), best-known for his @lostsurfboard designs in the 1990’s, Maria Brophy.

Maria’s driving force is to help empower people to take action to create a life that they want!  In the late 1990’s, she decided what kind of life she wanted to live;  She wanted to travel most of the year and work for herself in a creative business.  It took a few years, but eventually arranged her life in that way.

You could say that she lives a dream lifestyle, traveling the world while running a gallery space in San Clemente, California and selling art for a living.  But she does work very hard for it all!

She has dedicated the last twenty years to developing strategies to sell the artwork of her surfer husband, Drew Brophy.  After thousands of hours of study, research and hands-on-experience, she has become an expert on art licensing, deal making, and selling art, especially surf art.  She learned how to grow Drew’s art sales beyond multiple six figures, every year since the late 1990’s.

All while traveling two to three months a year; and sometimes more than that.

She even started writing a blog in 2009, to help other artists along the way.  And then started sharing information in books:

 A SPECIAL MAHALO TO

We acknowledge that this podcast is recorded on the unceded, ancestral and occupied traditional territory of the Haudensaunee (Iroquois), and  the Anishinabek; including Ojibway (Ojibwe) First Nations: Chippewas of Nawash and the Saugeen Ojibway Nation forming the Chippewas of Saugeen Ojibway Territory who we recognize as the traditional keepers of this land.  As we live, work, surf and play, we say Mahalo to the Métis, Inuit and Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and from around the world, who have stewarded these lands and sacred surf spots for thousands of years.
