A studio or workshop with a team?
Your team's busy, and the catalogue, sales and collector enquiries still land on you. I set up AI so everyone works the same way, then look after it and help your team use it.
Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.
Help for the whole team.
One catalogue of every work
Every piece with its title, medium, size, year, price and edition number, and its status: available, reserved, sold, on loan, at a gallery or in an exhibition, and who bought it. Gallery consignments and their terms tracked, and certificates of authenticity made from the record.
With a teamEveryone works from the same record of every piece.
Master files kept safe
Your high-resolution TIFF masters in one organised, backed-up archive with consistent names, on cloud storage you already pay for or a low-cost one. Web-size copies, watermarked if you like, and print-ready versions are made from them automatically, so the masters never leave the archive.
With a teamOne archive the whole team uses, and the masters stay safe.
Sales from your own shop
Your own website gallery and shop, with secure card payment links in your name. Originals are marked sold the moment they sell, print editions count down, and invoices, receipts and packing notes go out with every order.
With a teamNothing gets sold twice, whoever makes the sale.
Collectors answered, day and night
"Is the harbour painting still available?" "Do you take commissions?" Answered from your catalogue by message or email, with studio visits and collections booked, and commission requests added to your waiting list.
With a teamCovers the team when everyone's busy. Anything important comes to you.
A team that's confident with AI
The AI already in tools you pay for, switched on, plus a half-day workshop with simple rules for customer data.
With a teamEveryone uses it the same way, safely.

The private view
A painting sells on the night. One tap on your phone marks it sold in the catalogue, the website shows it as sold, and the invoice is ready to send before you've packed up.
From open studios to makers' markets and pop-up shows, there are plenty of places around Colchester to meet collectors. Selling from your own site keeps more of every sale with you.
An artist's Instagram replies
Wrackline Studio
A collector rings about an original painting, and a print from its limited edition.
Made-up call, 1:28. Amy is the same AI assistant that answers 01206 636 400.
Read the call
- Amy Hello, Wrackline Studio in Brightlingsea. I'm Amy, Rowan's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Rowan gets your message. How can I help?
- Caller Hello. I saw one of Rowan's paintings at the open studios in the summer, boats on the hard at dusk. I've been kicking myself ever since. Is it still available?
- Amy I'll just check the catalogue.
- Amy That'll be Evening on the Hard, oil on canvas, about a metre wide. It's still available, at £2,200, with a certificate of authenticity signed by Rowan.
- Caller Ah, good. Is there a print of it, too? My daughter would love one.
- Amy There is. A signed edition of fifty, printed from Rowan's full-resolution master file. Number 14 is next, at £85.
- Caller Lovely. Before I commit to the original, could I see it in person?
- Amy Of course. The studio's open for visits on Thursdays and Saturdays. Would Saturday at eleven suit you?
- Caller Saturday at eleven's perfect. It's Alan Prentice.
- Amy Thanks, Alan. You're booked, and I've marked the painting as reserved until then. I'll text you the address, and a link to buy the print from Rowan's website.
- Caller Wonderful. You've been very helpful.
- Amy You're welcome, Alan. See you on Saturday.
