As a work from home artist, your duties depend on the type of art or design you create. If you work as a freelance graphic designer, your responsibilities include meeting with a client to discuss the scope of a project, the client’s goals and needs, and the execution of the work. A children’s book illustrator may collaborate with an author to illustrate a book, while a painter displays their work in galleries and takes private commissions from individuals or institutions. Other work from home artists find employment in the animation or video game industry.
