Creative management consulting for artists
The Business Side of Your Art, Made Simple.
I help working artists turn scattered files into organized records in Artwork Archive, so you can apply to more opportunities, know what sold and where, and leave a legacy on record. Hands-on, in my LINNcinnati studio or on Zoom.

What Artwork Archive is, what artists say about it, and how to get set up before we meet.
New to Artwork Archive?
What it is, and how to get set up before we meet.
Artwork Archive is an online inventory and business tool made for artists. Each piece gets its own record with images, dimensions, pricing and where it is. From there you can track sales and contacts, send invoices, share work in Private Rooms, print reports and portfolio pages, apply to calls for entry, and publish a public profile of your work.
- Start your free 14-day trial
No credit card needed. Using my link gets you 20% off your first year if you decide to subscribe.
- Look over the Getting Started guide
Artwork Archive's step-by-step guide for artists covers setting up your account, uploading artwork, organizing your inventory, sales and clients, reports, and sharing your work.
- Add one test piece
Only the title is required, so even one piece gives us something to work from.
I don't earn anything from the referral link. It's just a discount I can pass along.
Choosing a Plan
Artwork Archive offers a few artist plans, mostly sized by how many pieces you have and which features you need. Every plan starts with the same free trial, so you can try it before you choose. Not sure which fits? We'll sort it out on your free consultation. Compare plans on Artwork Archive

About
Artist, educator and your guide to keeping clear records.
Hi, I'm Breanna.
Breanna Cole, Creative Management Consultant at vine & branch Consulting
I'm a working printmaker, illustrator and jeweler based in Cincinnati, and I've spent my career on the education and records side of the arts. In 2026 I worked on Artwork Archive's customer experience team, onboarding and supporting artists as they set up their inventories.
Before that I was a museum educator, taught digital portfolio classes at Clifton Cultural Arts Center, the Fairfield Community Arts Center and the Civic Garden Center, coordinated programs and grant records, and inventoried a university visual resources collection. Platform knowledge, archiving and teaching all come together in how I work with you: in person, at your pace, and always teaching you to do it yourself.

Questions
Why pay you when Artwork Archive support is free?
Their support team tells you how a feature works. I help you decide how your records should work for your career, sit with you while you do it, and keep you on track.
Will you set up my account or enter my work for me?
My focus is teaching you to do it yourself so you can keep it going after we're done. For a small head start, I offer data entry for up to 100 records. I'll send you an import spreadsheet to fill out with your information first, so every detail lands in the right field with no guesswork. If you have a larger backlog, Artwork Archive offers its own import services and I'll point you to them. The Legacy Inventory Project also includes hands-on cataloging with a trained family member.
Do I need to already have an account?
No. Start the free 14-day trial before our first session (no credit card needed). If you decide to subscribe, my referral link takes 20% off your first year. See getting started for the steps.
Can you help with my website too?
Yes. The audit covers your website as well as your records, and I've built on several platforms. We'll talk through layout, your shop, and making it easier for customers to reach you.
Is this official Artwork Archive training?
No. I'm an independent consultant, and Artwork Archive doesn't have a certified consultant or partner program. What I bring is hands-on time with the platform from its customer experience team, plus years of archiving and teaching in the arts.
Where do sessions happen?
In my studio at LINNcinnati, or on Zoom.
