Almost all artists are self employed. Very few places actually hire someone as a "professional painter", and then it's usually only as a one time thing, to complete a specific task like paint a mural or paint scenery for a theatre production.

The best place to start would be to get a book on art marketing (several are listed on this site) and see how other artists line up work for themselves.
