Episode 85: Your Style Will Evolve as an Artist — And That’s Okay!

Honest Art Podcast with Jodie King

From Picasso to Beyoncé, there’s a laundry list of artists who have changed their style and still found success (myself included!). There’s no need to put yourself or your art in a box. In fact, when you honor that shift…THAT’S when the real fun happens!

In this episode, we’re talking about how embracing that evolution is crucial to keeping your creativity alive and your career thriving. More specifically, we’ll discuss:

  • How the greats used multiple artistic styles and still found success

  • How my style has shifted in my own art career

  • How flexibility with style helps us make better art

  • Bridging the gap between artists and buyers, and giving both parties what they want (read: so you can keep making money even when your style changes!)
