    425: What We Can Learn About Signature Style From the Odyssey

    Your signature style grows stronger when you give yourself permission to be influenced while still trusting your own point of view. You don't have to create in a vacuum to make work that feels original and unmistakably yours. The artists, stories, music, films, and ideas that move you can all become part of your creative vocabulary when you filter them through your own experiences, values, and obsessions. Using Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and its influences from Goya, ancient mythology, cinema, music, and art history, I'll unpack how inspiration can become a meaningful ingredient in your work rather than the whole recipe, so you can develop a signature style with greater clarity and confidence. 💡 You'll Learn How to draw from artistic influences while developing a signature style that feels authentically yours. How Christopher Nolan combines art history, mythology, music, and filmmaking to create a distinctive artistic world. How to bring your history, values, obsessions, and point of view into your work to create a more personal and cohesive body of art. 🎧 Tune in and give yourself permission to learn from what inspires you while trusting that your perspective is what makes the final work your own. 🎙️About Miriam Schulman Miriam Schulman is an artist business coach, working artist, and author of Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity, published by HarperCollins Leadership.

    423: "Charge What You're Worth" Is Terrible Advice

    The right price can help your art and your business grow in alignment with the artist you are becoming. You have invested time, care, and creative energy into your work, and your pricing can reflect that commitment without becoming a measure of your personal worth.

I'll unpack how pricing shapes perception, why a higher price can build buyer confidence, and which practical questions can guide you toward a number you truly stand behind. 💡 You'll Learn How thoughtful pricing can help attract serious collectors and support sustainable art sales Three practical questions for choosing your prices with greater clarity and confidence How to align your pricing with your time, positioning, market, and willingness to create the work 🎧 Tune in and give yourself permission to choose prices that support your art, your energy, and the future you want to create. 🎙️ About Miriam Schulman Miriam Schulman is an artist business coach, working artist, and author of Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity, published by HarperCollins Leadership.

    Why Art Lovers Don't Become Art Buyers (THE WALL ALREADY HAS ART ON IT)

    Sometimes the reason a collector doesn't buy has nothing to do with how much they love your art.If you've ever left a conversation feeling certain someone was going to purchase your work, only to never hear from them again, you're not alone. I used to think those moments came down to price, confidence, or finding the perfect words. Over time, I realized there was something much more important happening beneath the surface. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift and practical approach that transformed the way I guide collectors through the buying process. When you learn to ask the right questions and understand what's truly influencing a decision, you can create a buying experience that feels natural, supportive, and aligned with the way you want to sell your art. 💡 You'll Learn • Why understanding whether a collector is filling an empty wall or replacing existing artwork changes the entire conversation. • How including every decision maker helps collectors feel more confident moving forward. • How three simple questions can help you recommend the right artwork without feeling pushy or salesy. 🎧 Tune in and discover how small shifts in your conversations can help more art lovers become confident art buyers. 🎙️About Miriam Schulman Miriam Schulman is an artist business coach, working artist, and author of Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity, published by HarperCollins Leadership.

    Commissions: Turning Inquiries Into Deposits

    Your commission process should give collectors confidence, not leave your best opportunities waiting in limbo. When someone reaches out about a commission, it's easy to assume genuine interest will naturally lead to a finished piece. I've learned through years of experience that even enthusiastic collectors can get stuck when the process feels unclear or overwhelming. This episode is about creating a commission experience that respects your time, supports your clients, and helps both of you move forward with confidence. I'll walk you through the practical shifts that transformed the way I handle commissions so more conversations become completed artwork instead of unfinished intentions. 💡 You'll Learn Why commission inquiries are more likely to move forward when the process is built around clear milestones instead of endless follow up. How to create a commission workflow that protects your time while making it easier for collectors to commit. Why scheduling and structure matter just as much as pricing when guiding a commission from inquiry to completion. 🎧 Tune in for a thoughtful conversation that will help you build a commission process that feels clear, professional, and supportive for both you and your collectors. 🎙️About Miriam Schulman Miriam Schulman is an artist business coach, working artist, and author of Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity, published by HarperCollins Leadership.
