My Biggest Art Block Will Surprise You Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

The most common block I experience is NOT running out of ideas, it’s having too many ideas and getting paralyzed with indecision and overwhelm. That’s the nature of creativity and curiosity. Ideas lead to more ideas. With all these ideas, I easily get overwhelmed. When I have a number of ideas and no clear direction, it’s more likely that I will TAKE NO ACTION AND BE COMPLETELY BLOCKED. As my granny says, you can’t ride two horses with one butt. Or in my case, I want to ride a whole herd of horses running in different directions. Here's how I say NO to all the options.

How Disaster Changed My Path and My Art Business Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

Like all good stories, mine starts with a complete disaster. After 8 years of art school and dedicated art making for years and years, I was done. I’d had it. I couldn’t make a sustainable income, I couldn’t find my people, and I was exhausted. I kind of hated art. So I quit. And that's when everything started for me.

The amounts can start at $1 a month and go up to any amount you wish. Is this a great idea for you? Should you try it out to generate a little extra income?

If you want to sell your art on a consistent basis, one of the most important things to do is to create an artist niche or specialty. A lot of artists object to this advice, but not having a niche will make it very hard for your potential collectors to understand what you do.
