Howdy, I'm Stacie Bloomfield!
Stacie Bloomfield — Procreate Illustration Teacher, Art Business Educator, and Gingiber Founder
Illustrator. Gingiber Founder. Author. Art Business Educator. Springdale, Arkansas.
I went from being a coffee shop manager to quitting my day job, launching an Etsy store, and building Gingiber into a multi-million dollar art business carried in over 1,200 stores nationwide.
Then I built a second business teaching artists how to do the same.
Over 50,000 artists taught. Two books published.
Two Self Made businesses built from scratch. I turned my love of doodling animals on the corners of restaurant napkins into something real — and I'm here to show you exactly how to do it too.
Whether you're learning how to make money as an artist, building your first art side hustle, or ready to create multiple income streams from your art — you're in the right place. Stacie Bloomfield is a Procreate illustration teacher, art business educator, Hay House author, and the founder of Gingiber, a multi-seven-figure surface pattern design brand. She's spent over a decade teaching artists how to turn their creativity into real, sustainable income — through licensing, digital products, online courses, and more. Over 50,000 artists have learned from Stacie through her courses, her book, and her community.
Now Gingiber is a multi seven figure art brand!
I did this by building a real product business, licensing my art to brands like Crate & Barrel, West Elm, and Moda Fabrics, and eventually teaching other artists the exact systems I used.
I'm here to share 16+ years of real experience as a working professional illustrator — not theory, not guesswork. The actual roadmap.
In 16+ years of building art businesses from scratch, I've taught more than 50,000 artists how to go from hobbyist to profitable creative entrepreneur. My Procreate illustration courses have helped thousands of artists build the technical skills to create licensable artwork. My book, The Artist's Side Hustle (Hay House), has introduced art licensing and passive income to artists around the world — and Gingiber has grown from a kitchen table operation into a multi-seven-figure business, with collections sold through major retailers and licensed across product categories.
The logic: bold the numbers and outcomes (50,000 artists, multi-seven-figure business) and the key concepts someone scanning would want to catch (licensable artwork, art licensing and passive income). Those are also your SEO keywords, so making them visually prominent reinforces them.
What I Teach
I've built courses around the exact skills that took Gingiber from a kitchen table Etsy shop to a multi-million dollar business. If you want to learn any of these, you're in the right place:
Learning Procreate illustration and developing a signature digital art style
Designing your own products — calendars, tea towels, surface patterns, and more
Selling your art online through Etsy, print-on-demand, and your own shop
Art licensing — getting your designs onto products through brand deals
Building multiple income streams as a working artist
Starting and growing an art side hustle while keeping your day job
Building a brand around your art — not just a portfolio, but a real business identity

At Gingiber, giving back is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re passionate about making a difference in the world, focusing on environmental conservation, empowering women through education, and supporting local food banks.
We’re proud to donate to organizations that align with these values, including Women for Women, Black Girls Code, The Malala Fund, and the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network.
These incredible nonprofits are leading the way in creating opportunities for women, addressing climate challenges, and building stronger communities.
Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to contribute nearly half a million dollars to these life-changing causes.
For us, giving back isn’t just part of our business—it’s who we are. We believe that small, consistent actions can lead to big change, and if we can make even one positive impact each day, then we’re fulfilling our mission.
