    20. Working Big Traumatized Me, So I Stopped

    I’ve been making small art for most of my creative career, but I’ve always struggled with the pressure to work big for years and years, despite the fact that I LOVE working small, I make beautiful work in small format, and I HATE working big. In this episode, I share how I recently fell into a bit of a people pleaser ditch, trying to work big for the wrong reasons, in the wrong ways. Fortunately, I eventually dug myself out and emerged even brighter and shinier than ever before. Detours are never mistakes, only pathways that get as even more in touch with who we really are.  Shop: https://libbysaylorshop.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libbysaylor/ Newsletter: https://libbysaylor.myflodesk.com/newsletter Website: https://www.libbysaylor.com/

    19. Talking About Your Art

    Recently, I’ve had to talk about my work with a fair amount of people, in various settings, and I’ve had to share more deeply about why I make my work, what it’s all about, and what it means to me. Without fail, each time I share about my work, I can tell that people feel more interested in my work, more inspired by it, and more connected to it in general. I’ve been working on this for a few years now and I’ve learned a lot about the process. It’s not natural and it’s not easy, especially for artists, but you can learn! And in this episode, I’m going to share with you how I did it, and how you can do it to.  The why's of my work: Connection Collages: https://www.libbysaylor.com/connectioncollages.html Quarantine Art: https://www.libbysaylor.com/quarantine.html Shelter Series: https://www.libbysaylor.com/shelterseries.html Other links: Shop: https://libbysaylorshop.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libbysaylor/ Newsletter: https://libbysaylor.myflodesk.com/newsletter Website: https://www.libbysaylor.com/

    18. Everything You Need To Know About Art Markets With Kate Cuthbert

    In this amazing episode, I talk with collage artist and art market extraordinaire, Kate Cuthbert. Kate was recently diagnosed with MS and has shifted from her decades-long path selling her work at art markets, to teaching others how to master all there is to know about the wonderfully whacky world of art markets.  Born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, collage artist, Kate Cuthbert, studied furniture design before focusing on her life-long love of collage art. In 2014 she began sharing her work under the handle 'satin&tat' and has since exhibited across Australia, the USA, Europe, and Scandinavia. She has also been published internationally. Kate's commissions include work for The Wall Street Journal, Ted Baker, album and book covers, as well as private pieces. In 2021, Print Mag named her one of the "Top 5 Collage Artists to Follow on Instagram." Kate has overseen Collage Expo for the past 8 years- an instagram account dedicated to sharing the art of analogue collage. Kate sold her collage art at markets for 10 years until a recent diagnosis of MS changed her path. She is now setting out to share her wealth of market experience by teaching others through 'The Art of Markets'.

    17. Some Art World Boundaries I Want To Set, But Am Afraid To

    In this episode I talk about boundaries and the way they can act as vehicles for self-love and great change. I'm setting some art world boundaries for myself as I move forward in my art career, even though it feels a bit scary, and I feel uncertain. Setting boundaries is an amazing way to initiate positive change, and it's our way of telling the universe that we are ready for more and better! What boundaries have you set, are thinking about setting, or are afraid to set in your art career?

    16. Goal and Intention Setting for the Unambitious Artist

    In this episode, I'm speaking from total experience, as a recovering unambitious (aka lazy artist), sharing with you ways I've endeavored to moved past my laziness (that disguised my deep rooted fear), and into the comfortable goal and intention setting zone of art making.  Shop: https://libbysaylorshop.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libbysaylor/ Newsletter: https://libbysaylor.myflodesk.com/newsletter Website: https://www.libbysaylor.com/ Colette Baron-Reid: https://www.colettebaronreid.com/

    15. Resisting the Urge to Rush-Post on Social Media

    In this episode, I’m going to unpack my thoughts about the speed in which we create things, and the pressure we can come up against to have something new and fresh and amazing to post on social media, both regularly and often. It’s hard when your income is solely based on your art-making. But, for those of us who don’t have to worry about that, but still feel the pressure, I think it’s important to resist the urge to rush the creative process, which leads to rush-posting, and to instead focus on the work itself. There is SUCH a difference between cranking out rushed work to post for the sake of posting, and thoughtful work that we share when we’re ready. I’m here to validate that it’s okay to slow it down. People aren’t going anywhere, and if they do, then F ‘em!

    14. The Difference Between Making Big Wow Art and Mediocre Art

    In this episode, I share ten differences between what it looks and feels like to make Big Wow Art and just Mediocre Art. Making Big Wow Art is no joke! This process can trigger endless amounts of fear and doubt and can be physically and emotionally draining. Time and again I'm reminded that being an artist and living this life is not for the weak, or for the faint of heart. But, it's so worth it in the end, once we can recognize the difference between when we're offering up our best efforts and when we're not.
