Sellable Art That Feels Like Me

Michele Luminato

Sellable Art That Feels Like Me is for artists who want to make work that feels honest, alive, and truly their own — and to sell it to people who feel that truth too. Each week, we talk about what really goes on behind the canvas — the creative ruts, the quiet doubts, the turning points where you finally start trusting yourself again. Because when your art feels like you, it naturally connects and sells with ease. I’m Michele Luminato, a contemporary artist and mentor helping artists find their authentic voice. My own path has been anything but linear — from design studios and color forecasting to creating and selling my own art full time. What I’ve learned along the way is simple: Great art isn’t about getting louder — it’s about getting truer. I’ve helped hundreds of artists rediscover their spark, refine their voice, and create collections that sell because they’re making artwork that only they can make. If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start creating work that feels like you again, you’re in the right place. Keep going — your art’s already saying something only you can.

    #43 / When I Lost My Connection to My Art (And How I Found It Again)

    If your art looks fine but doesn’t feel like you anymore — this episode is for you. I get it, I've been there too. In this episode I share what happened to me, and how I reconnected to make art that I actually love. 🎨 You’ve taken the courses. You’ve learned the techniques. But your art still doesn’t feel like you — and maybe, lately, you don’t even love it anymore and selling feels even harder. Welcome to Sellable Art That Feels Like Me, the podcast where I help artists reconnect with their voice, evolve their work, and create art that sells because it’s authentic. I’m Michele Luminato — an American-born contemporary artist living in Melbourne, working full-time in my studio, and guiding artists through the process of making work that finally feels like them (and naturally attracts collectors who love it too). Each week, we’ll dive into the real behind-the-scenes of being an artist — the emotional cycles, the creative breakthroughs, and the business clarity that turns connection into confidence (and sales). Because when your art starts feeling like you again — it naturally becomes more collectable, more magnetic, and more joyful to create.

    #41 / Instagram is Sick of Artwork - Here's what it wants

    Welcome back to another episode! After recording 104 podcast episodes, I've learned that the most popular topics are always about worrying what 'THEY' think of our art - we’re so worried about other people, we're sacrificing authentic expression for approval.
