    investing in your art business with jessica libor of the creative heroine podcast

    join jessica libor of the creative heroines podcast and myself as we talk about investing in your business. we discuss and share some wise investments you can make into your business as well as unregrettable investments we’ve personally made. when i began my art business, every bit of profit went right back into my business. there were grids to buy for art shows and fairs, paint to replenish and money to use to build and keep up a website. sometimes they were simple investments like books or medium sized investments like online courses. eventually, i could be more strategic as my income increased, i bought a nice camera, a car lol and now i’m building a studio in our front yard. there’s also the time and energy that you invest in your business and the priorities you keep. while jessica went to art school and i went to architecture school, we both agree that it’s important to follow your heart and find the path that’s best for you. even more important is to find gratitude within your unique path and to support other artists on their path. we all will have different goals and dreams for our art and it’s crucial to stay positive with other artists (and ourselves), to remember that there is room for all creatives and that the world needs your work and creativity.  LINKS jessica libor’s art website: jessicalibor.com   jessica’s creative heroine website (coaching & mentoring): thecreativeheroines.com jessica’s era contemporary gallery: eracomtemporary.com jessica’s instagrams: @jessicaliborstudio @thecreativeheroines apply & join us spring 2026 at our residency mastermind: the nature of creation: artistic awakening  CONNECT WITH ME: katrinaberg.com email: k@katrinaberg.com join my SWEETlist (my email list) instagram @katrina.berg   LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!
