How do I start marketing my art after not creating for a long time?

Start by creating content that shows who you are, not just your artwork. Go to a location where you often photograph or create, introduce the place and why it’s meaningful to you, then follow up by posting images from that location. This creates a narrative. Don’t just post art relentlessly—share the story behind it, why the location matters to you, what inspired you. This approach helps people connect with you as a person, not just your work. When you combine storytelling with your artwork, people engage much more deeply. Also, don’t be afraid to ask family and friends to like and share to build initial momentum.
