    Ep33 Art of a Woman: Artistic Dreams/ Business/ Don't Silence Your Art/ Value Your Work's Worth

    Is art a career or a calling? For aspiring artists facing pressure to conform, discover why embracing their innate gift is the ultimate plan A. Art is not just a study; “it’s who you are.” One entrepreneur reveals the critical insight artists often miss when building a business: leaning into one's strengths can yield surprising advantages.

Value your time and materials; two years of experience is not the same as 25. It's about what something is worth to you, not them. From painting sneakers to crafting them! Witness the transformation as an artist seeks to create the canvas itself, diving into shoe-making school and emerging five years later with a passion ignited. 'It just wasn't enough' to only paint, a deeper creation called! #SneakerArt #ShoeMaking #DIYFashion #CustomKicks #artistworth #valueyourself #artbusiness #pricingstrategy #businessadvice #artistmindset #entrepreneurship #creativebusiness #artist #artadvice #creative #passion #inspiration @davidedo_designs#davidedodesignswww.davidedodesigns.com#LaceEmUpPodcast#customshoes#FearisFake#CreatingisproblemsolvingThanks for watching. follow me for more.
