Tara Reed is the artist and owner of Tara Reed Designs, Inc. the company she began in 2004 to create art for licensing. Art licensing means an artist creates collections of art and they license the rights to use the art on products to manufacturers.

What appeals to Tara about licensing is that she retains the copyrights to her work and can license the same design to multiple companies for different products. "Create once, get paid multiple times." she explains, "It just makes sense to me and I love how the business works."

In 2008, Tara added teaching, speaking and coaching back into the mix - sharing with others what she knows best: art licensing. She can help artists decide if it might be a fit for them or help artists who already know they want to add licensing to their business.  Visit www.ArtLicensingInfo.com for more information.

No stranger to the business world, Tara actually got a degree in marketing and has a background in sales. Add those skills to her art and creativity and it has proven to be a winning combination. Since she founded her art licensing company in 2004, Tara Reed has licensed her art to more than 40 different manufacturers.

Through building the information and teaching side of her business, Tara has discovered many valuable resources for artists to learn about building a creative business and implement online marketing strategies. Wanting a central place to share these resources she has found and tested or created herself - in 2010 she created www.ArtMarketingWithTara.com
