    Ep #55 - Receiving Criticism for your Art, Music, Video any Content

    Ep #55 - Receiving Criticism for your Art, Music, Video any Content

    CRITICISM - how it stops us from doing our greatest work.  Here I talk about why criticism stops us from doing our greatest work and how to handle it.

    My husband Drew received HARSH criticism back in the 1990's when he started a new way of painting surfboards.  I talk about how that ended up, 30 years later.

    Recently he received criticism from cruel people when he shared his Near Death Experience on a popular Podcast (HERE).  Mostly about his "Clint Eastwood" voice (it will never be the same after being on a ventilator for 3 months...)

    When someone is criticizing you, it comes from one of two places:

    1 - they know more than you and it's a gift that you can learn from

    2 - they are trolling you and they don't know what the "f" they are talking about!

    I go into all this - listen in and please:

    Ep #54 - When a Client Won't Pay what they Owe

    Ep #54 - When a Client Won't Pay what they Owe

    Have you been "ripped off" (unpaid) by a client that you did work for?  Here I share how to AVOID being stiffed by a client after you did the work.  And I have a suggestion as to how to handle it if it happened to you.

    An artist brought me this question after she painted a wall mural and the client would not pay her.  This happens more often than you can imagine.  That's why I never start a mural project without 50% up front and I do not leave the mural site until it's paid in full.  And, proper communication up front, with written emails/texts showing client approval along the way, avoids this, as I share in this episode.

    Ep #53 - I GIVE UP! When it just isn't working...

    Ep #53 - I GIVE UP! When it just isn't working...

    I give up! The other day I got so discouraged, because marketing for my courses and my Art Academy https://www.brophyartacademy.com/art-business just isn't working, after making a large investment.

    After sleeping on it, I realized that I was trying to do things the way that other people were telling me to do them.  But that did not work for me.  It was out of alignment with my own way of working and my own values.

    Do you find yourself trying to do things the way everyone else does, and it doesn't work?  Listen in, I have a suggestion!

    Ep #52 - How to Transition from Commercial Art to Fine Art

    Ep #52 - How to Transition from Commercial Art to Fine Art

    How can you transition from doing commercial and commissioned art, to doing your own fine art? This question came from one of my inner-circle artists who wants to stop painting what everyone else wants her to paint!

    I share how my hubby Drew made this transition when he recently declared he is no longer doing commissions (at least for now).

MissAbu ,

Nailed it.

Big Maria Brophy fan for years, since I started to post my art on social media platforms back in 2016. Can’t believe I’m just now finding out she has a podcast! Love the book and have filled it with my own notes. I finally had some success after relentlessly pursuing my art during 2021 when I had oodles of free time after a covid layoff. in fact… So much success in such a short period of time but I’ll be emailing you soon for some advice, coaching and handholding! Hey girl!

heyy_arnold__ ,

Genuine!

I love how genuine Maria is on all topics she discusses. Her podcast is a glimmer of hope for all artists!

Love this Podcast

I've been reading Maria's blogs and listening to her on various podcasts for several years now. Her book "Art, Money, Success," should be mandatory for any artist looking to up their creative business and I'm super happy to hear her on a regular basis via the official podcast. She's the only person I have found in the artist community who openly discusses actual numbers/dollars, the fear behind the scenes, strategies of how to translate your art into a legitamite business, and how to build a better brand. It's difficult to find trustworthy people who really know what they're talking about in the creative world, and Maria is a beacon of light! I'm so happy to have discovered her when I did. She has been vital in my personal growth as both an artist and entrepreneur.
