    Creative Cycles: What Season Are You In Right Now? PART 1

    If your art business has felt a little quiet, uncertain, or unpredictable lately, let me tell you: you are not alone. The economy is feeling uncertain, the energy in the world is even more so. And Artists are often feeling it all -- and we still need to make SALES! Let's discuss.  In this episode is part one of a longer conversation and is a grounded guide to selling your art in every season (literally and metaphorically). We’ll talk about the internal seasons we all cycle through—winter (rest), spring (inspiration), summer (creation), and autumn (harvest)—and how understanding those rhythms can transform the way you run your creative business. You’ll get practical insights and encouragement whether you’re gearing up for a launch, deep in the studio, or resting between collections.

    My Best Tips For Finding Your Collectors - MAKING ART WORK IS OPEN!

    Join Share The Work (a FREE workshop and workbooks - I'm going live each day at noon eastern time!) Making Art Work open March 13-20 Share your work in The Creatives Club    One of the most confusing (and frustrating) parts of selling your creative work? Finding the collectors, buyers, customers, students, or clients who truly connect with what you create. If this feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. But here’s something I need you to know: ✨ ART IS NOT HARD TO SELL. ✨ I know, I know—you’ve probably heard otherwise. Maybe you’ve even felt it yourself. But the idea that selling art is an uphill battle? It’s simply not true. The key is understanding why people buy art in the first place. Art isn’t a necessity like tires or groceries—it’s something we choose. Something we feel drawn to. Your buyers aren’t just making a purchase; they’re investing in meaning, self-expression, and the energy your work brings into their lives. 💡 In this episode, we’re diving into: ✔️ Why people buy art (and why it’s not about convincing them) ✔️ The emotional connection that turns viewers into collectors ✔️ How art creates belonging, identity, and a sense of home Selling your work isn’t about pushing—it’s about finding the people who are already looking for what you create. And trust me, they’re out there. Let’s talk about how to reach them. 🎙️

    How To Create Art That WILL SELL - Making Art Work Opens THIS WEEK

    How To Create Art That WILL SELL Join Share The Work (a FREE workshop and workbooks - I'm going live each day at noon eastern time!) Making Art Work open March 13-20 Share your work in The Creatives Club  The Truth About Selling Your Art (and Why It’s Easier Than You Think!) This week, we’re tackling one of the biggest hurdles artists face: moving past the fears and doubts that make selling feel hard. Yes—even in today’s chaotic world, building a thriving art career is absolutely possible. Abundance, fulfillment, and creative freedom are within reach once you shift limiting beliefs and embrace practical strategies that let your art take up space. While doubts may never fully disappear, you don’t have to let them lead. Instead, we’ll focus on replacing them with empowering truths and aligned action. Because sharing your work and seeing it resonate with others isn’t just rewarding—it’s life-changing. A Profitable Art Career Begins with One Essential Step: Sharing Your Work. Here’s my promise to you: I’ll be honest, kind, and—hopefully—inspiring. I’ve been a full-time artist since graduating from art school in 2008, and let me tell you—art school didn’t prepare me for selling my work or growing my business. That part? That came through trial, error, and years of learning what actually works. Now, I’m honored to share those lessons with you. Growth happens when we recognize where we need to expand. Instead of letting self-doubt or criticism hold you back, let’s meet every challenge with intention, compassion, and clarity—so you can step into the thriving art career you deserve. This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt: 🎨 Afraid your work isn’t valuable enough to sell 🎨 Uncertain about how to confidently share your art 🎨 Stuck in the mindset that success is for “other” artists Let’s release the beliefs keeping your work hidden—so you can sell with confidence and ease.

    What Picasso Is Teaching Me About Success

    SHARE THE WORK -- RSVP to join us March 10th-14th Making Art Work opens for enrollment March 13th! Hi sweeties. I've moved into my new studio and settled into my work (getting ready for Share The Work, writing, and teaching), but painting? That's a different story. Let's talk about what it means to find success in your creative practice year after year. As I continue focusing on creating meaningful art, I find myself thinking so much about Picasso's career and why it’s important to honor our personal version of growth, no matter how it unfolds. In this episode, we’ll explore: Realizing You’re Always Growing and Changing: The success of your work is not linear. Picasso’s career is a perfect example—he created less refined work year after year, embracing abstraction more fully as he went. Creative growth doesn’t look the same for everyone, and it’s okay if your journey is different. We’ll also talk about the powerful story from Threads about an old artist who never sold a single painting but continued to create because he valued leaving behind his soul in his work. Anchoring Yourself in Past Successes: Reflecting on past accomplishments can be a source of reassurance. When we look back at the work we're proud of, it reminds us that we’re capable of creating great things today and in the future. I mentioned my friend Ekaterina Popova and you must check out her work and Create! Magazine  Looking to Guides for Inspiration: Has someone else walked this path before you? Seeking out mentors and guides who’ve navigated their own creative journeys can offer invaluable lessons. Sometimes, seeing that others have walked this road without falling off a cliff can give us the confidence to keep moving forward. RSVP for the upcoming Share The Work series starting March 10th!
