Art Talk with Libby Saylor

In this episode, I share about a recent rejection I experienced and how I went through the range of emotions to ultimately move forward. This episode is about the realities of being an artist and the inevitable rejection that comes with it. But in the end, it's most important to not let rejection pull you off track. You must keep going! In this episode, I mention: Instagram: https://www.insta...

In this episode, I talk about the importance of letting your art take you in the direction it wants you to go, rather than forcing your art in the direction you think the both of you should go. I share about some recent pivots I’ve had to take in the name of obeying my art, and how those detours came about. I discuss the importance of trust and surrender when obeying your art. And finally, I talk...

In this episode, I go deep and try to uncover what really holds us back from taking chances in our studio. Ultimately, I think it comes down to getting comfortable with our imperfections, as well as getting comfortable with taking risks outside of the studio. I also share with you a super vulnerable whoops moment that I experienced from taking a chance, and how it's all part of the beautiful...

In this impromptu episode, I share my trepidation about creating my first Shopify store and sweating it out, waiting for that first sale. I also give myself (and you!) a pep talk as I remember times in my past when I've created something, put it out there, and then just waited, until that fateful day when something DID come back. From there, you're safe, and it really only takes one to s...

In this episode, I share with you what happens when you make deliberate choices about your creative career. Things take off and get exciting! But at some point, it's also natural to hit a wall. And when this happens, we don't want to stop all together (something I'm notorious for doing!). But instead, we just wanna just slow down. I make the case for tenacity, endurance, and discipl...

In this episode, I make the case for both gritting and quitting when it comes to achieving success in your creative endeavors. Ultimately, I think that once you decide to grit, you also need to do a few things in order to keep yourself afloat, and most of us don't really want to do this, myself included! But that won't stop me from trying :) In this episode, I mention: Anne Helen Peterse...

In this episode, I talk about how writing an artist statement is WAY harder than it seems, and I share with you the steps I followed to create an artist statement I feel proud to share with professionals, online, and with you!   In this episode, I mention: Natalia Millman: https://www.instagram.com/nataliamillmanart/ Art Write: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/art-write-vicki-krohn-amorose/1114226...
