I haven’t done a favorite things post in so long that I feel compelled to catch you up on all of my favorite things since … mmm … 2018. But I’m not going to do that to you.
These are some things that make my work easier, life more joyful, give my brain a workout, help me destress or defrizz, and fill my tummy with yumminess.
This is THE post to share with friends and loved ones. I offer heartfelt advice to non-artists who want to support you—emphasizing acceptance of your individuality, respect for your need for solitude, and acknowledgment of the challenges you face in balancing creativity with business demands.
I encourage your friends and family to show up for you. The key message is to love and believe in the artist, offering encouragement and reassurance when needed.
In this solo episode of The Art Biz, I dive into the necessity of creating demand for your artwork in order to achieve a certain level of success—stressing the importance of setting realistic expectations, refining your original artistic voice (key!), and nurturing genuine relationships.
I discuss the balance between ambition and practicality in the art market and offer five essential tips to assess and cultivate demand effectively.
I use this milestone 200th episode of The Art Biz to explore the deeper motivations behind artists’ desires for more recognition and sales.
While the external validation that comes with recognition and sales is important, we must remember that the ultimate goal is happiness. It’s about a commitment to your art for a more joyful life. My priority is to help you cultivate meaning through your art.
It’s fun to start a new project, but, if you struggle to stay motivated through completion, the ideas remain good ideas. In this episode of The Art Biz, I reveal strategies for unlocking productivity and success that I have learned for myself and clients. Learn how setting clear deadlines and establishing both internal and external accountability can drive you to conquer procrastination, finish projects, and achieve your professional ambitions.
There is no reason to be repetitive in emails and social media posts when you promote your art exhibition, event, or class. Hitting a different angle with each message makes it more likely you’ll pique the interest of followers.
I have some ideas for doing just that. Many of these suggestions lend themselves to emails, while others could easily be adapted for social media.
