It's not the easiest path, but it's incredibly rewarding, leading away from becoming a production house of sameness, and chasing your tail with trends.

    With over 25 years of navigating this path, I've learned some invaluable lessons about the importance of staying true to our creative essence. I'm here to pass those lessons on to you, helping you find and express your own unique voice in a way that connects deeply with those who will love it most.

    It’s not easy, but in my opinion worth the effort. Listen now to hear my stories and insights of when I was terrified to burn the bridge (especially when my gut was telling me I should, but there was NO PROOF that it was a good idea.) and how I've pursued the “good to great’ path.

  • In this episode, I talk about the daunting, and repeating question – “Is my new art going to sell?”, Or “Is my art good enough to sell?”. Over my 20+ years of experience, the answers to this question lies in pricing strategies, silencing the inner critic, and how to create real demand (so we can avoid feast or famine). I share insights on how important market research can be to success and the pitfalls of the “Dunning–Kruger effect.

  • The Power of Trusting Yourself as an Artist

    In this episode I dive into why trusting yourself is key to developing your own artistic style and voice. Drawing from my own ups and downs, I talk about how crucial it is to do this —not just for creating art that stands out, but also for finding true personal satisfaction as an artist. If we don't do this - we risk ever find out authentic voice, and making the art that only we can make!

    Here’s what we’ll cover:

    Recognizing signs that you're not trusting yourself: I share how things like unfinished projects, being overly critical, and hesitating to share or sell your work can be big red flags.Tackling Imposter Syndrome and Perfectionism: Hear about the straightforward steps I took to fight off these common challenges that artists face.Building Trust in Your Art: Learn about the simple, everyday actions that have helped me stay confident in my creativity.

    Whether you're just starting out or you're looking to deepen your art practice, this episode is packed with real talk on how to trust yourself more.

    Teaching you to sell art is one thing; guiding you to sell your true self is another. That’s rare and that's the journey I've been on — away from the noise and celebrating uniqueness. It's not the easiest path, but it's incredibly rewarding, leading away from becoming a production house of sameness, and chasing your tail with trends.

    With over 25 years of navigating this path, I've learned some invaluable lessons about the importance of staying true to our creative essence. I'm here to pass those lessons on to you, helping you find and express your own unique voice in a way that connects deeply with those who will love it most.

  • In this episode, we're diving into a common feeling among artists: OVERWHELM! If you've ever found yourself scrolling through social media, comparing your work to others, feeling distracted by daily life, or just pulled in too many directions, this one's for you. 

    I have personally battled with overwhelm being an introvert as well. Without getting a handle on overwhelm it can lead to creative burnout, where constant pressure and stress sap your energy and passion for making art. Being overwhelmed often means jumping from one idea to another, never really getting momentum - stagnating and developing your unique voice. What's even worse, overwhelm can erode your confidence, leading you to second-guess your artistic decisions instead of following your instincts. 

    I'll share seven tips to help you cut through the noise, find your focus, and really start to develop that unique voice that's all yours. From identifying what truly matters to you, to embracing creative constraints and building a consistent exploration practice, these strategies are about making art on your terms and finding clarity amid chaos.

    Teaching you to sell art is one thing; guiding you to sell your true self is another. That’s rare and that's the journey I've been on — away from the noise and celebrating uniqueness. It's not the easiest path, but it's incredibly rewarding, leading away from becoming a production house of sameness, and chasing your tail with trends.

    With over 25 years of navigating this path, I've learned some invaluable lessons about the importance of staying true to our creative essence.
