10. 3 Steps to Creative Succe$‪$‬ Making Artists

    • Arts

Most often, people who hire me want to become a creative success. Usually, that success is defined with a dollar amount. I counter that in order to call yourself an artist, all you need to do is make art. It doesn’t all need to be polished, published, or even finished, but assigning a dollar amount to it doesn’t make you any more or less of an artist. 
If you watch The Great British Bakeoff on Netflix, there’s a mini-competition in each episode called the technical challenge. The bakers are given a list of ingredients and very simple instructions, with very little guidance on how to combine the ingredients. That is what I’m giving you today, because this recipe looks different for every artist.
Make, Share, and Ask. That’s it. Make your art, share your art and skills and identity as an artist, and ask for sales, sponsors, collaboration, or whatever will help to grow your audience. Let this marinate and integrate.
I’m going on sabbatical! While I’m taking some time off from coaching in order to lean into my own artistry, feel free to connect with me on IG and join my mailing list!
