Today we have another episode of the Quit Your Day Job series where I interview members of the Artist Academy Advanced, our private group mentoring membership program geared to helping artists thrive. I’m interviewing Shannon Joy who is from where I am, Springfield, Missouri but is currently on vacation in Hawaii. She carved away some time to chat with me about her dive into full-time art. I’ve me...

The 31 Day Challenge is coming up. Listen to hear why you should start your year off with a bang and produce 31 paintings in the month of January.

Today we have another episode of the Quit Your Day Job series where I interview members of the Artist Academy Advanced, our private group mentoring membership program geared to helping artists thrive. I’m interviewing Jodi Trujillo who is based in Hawaii and has been a member of the Academy for over 2 years! The main thing I took from Jodi’s interview can be put into one word: diversification. She...

Today we are highlighting Hibaaq Ibrahim, a Minnesota based muralist who joined the Academy not long after I opened the doors over 2 years ago.

This week’s episode features Ontario, Canada art educator Brenda LaRose. We are taking a dive into Instagram Reels today as I chat with Brenda about her strategies for making video. I first found her scrolling through IG and after seeing a couple of her quirky Reels I thought, “alright, I’ll follow.” Then after seeing many more pop up and the engagement she was getting with this strategy I thought...

Today we are highlighting Lyssa Wyn, a Florida based artist who joined the Academy when I first opened the doors over 2 years ago! I have a special place in my heart for Lyssa because we’ve grown together and I’ve watched her transform her life through building an art business. I think you’re really going to love this episode so that’s all the introduction I think it needs. Let me know what you th...

I’m going to be reading you some of the hate comments I’ve been getting online to showcase how with every 100 positive/loving/encouraging comments you can expect 1 bad apple, but it doesn’t have to slow you down! Receiving hate is never a great experience but we can control how much it bothers us or doesn’t bother us. www. ArtistAcademy.co

Today we are highlighting Christine Riutzel, a Branson, Missouri, based artist who joined the Academy not long after I opened the doors over 2 years ago. Christine has this vibrant energy that you can feel through her art and is someone who you need to see her work to understand her uniqueness. Go click the link to her Instagram below. We talk a lot about getting involved in your local art communi...

Today we are highlighting Dani Roma. A Kansas City based artist who joined the Academy just recently and attended our Mural Meetup. Dani is in the thick of it from just recently transitioning from teacher to artist and is currently in the process of getting her first few big mural jobs. This is such a fun/stressful time for most artists and I wanted to chat with her about her current struggle and...

This week’s episode features author and art business educator Alyson Stanfield. You may know her from her famous book, I’d Rather be in the Studio. Alyson has been coaching artists since almost before I was born so it’s pretty obvious that she holds a vast amount of knowledge on the subject of art and business. We chat a lot about the mental blocks that artists create for themselves and how to mov...

This week’s episode features Florida based artist and podcaster Suzanne Redmond. About a month ago or so Suzanne interviewed me on her podcast The Left Brained Artist and today we flipped the script to get to know her a bit more. She used to be a curator so I took this interview as a chance to dig in on her knowledge about artist statements, CVs, exhibition applications, and even artist residencie...

Today we are highlighting Brianna D’Amato, A New York based artist who joined the Academy back in April of 2019. Brianna has been to both Mural Meetups, this year in Missouri and last year in Iowa, so I have had the chance to get to know her pretty well. We have a few inside jokes and I just can’t help but laugh a little to myself thinking of our time together. You know how some people just get yo...

Today we are highlighting Chelsea Blosil. A Salt Lake City based muralist who joined the Academy back in September of 2020. I have had the privilege of meeting Chelsea not just once at the Mural Meetup here in Missouri but twice with the first time being in her home state of Utah. After getting to know her a bit my immediate thought was, “It’s so crazy how we attract what we are.” We have so much...

Every Monday I interview some of my amazing Artist Academy students to get to know them better and give direct advice on their art business. Today I was chatting with Sylvia Hecht who has a very unique story so I thought I would share it with you. We talk about the ways she’s gotten work abroad or has traded murals for things like free stay at hostels and Air BnB’s. She has some really good tips f...

This week’s episode features Florida based master muralist Keith Goodson. You have to go check out Keith’s work to fully understand what he’s capable of. I found him in a muralist group and was blown away by his talent. What I wasn’t expecting was his eagerness to share his knowledge with all of you. We hopped on a pre interview call really quickly and he mentioned how busy his schedule was today...

This week’s episode features Missouri based muralist Ray Harvey. I particularly liked this interview with Ray partly because we are only located a few hours apart and I like connecting with other midwestern artists, but also because Ray has this bluntness about him that’s just a breath of fresh air. He delivered some tough love towards the end of this episode and I was here for it! We talked a lot...

This week’s episode is another one of those sneak peaks I sometimes give out into what’s going on inside of the Artist Academy Membership. I’m soooo excited to announce that we are starting group mindset coaching bi-weekly inside of the Academy with our very own Madelyne Oliver. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long while and it’s funny how the right people find their way to connect to you becau...

This week’s episode features Colorado based muralist Michael Beenenga. I really liked this chat with Michael. He’s well spoken, knowledgeable, and so willing to share exactly how he’s getting mural jobs via home shows. I think this strategy is genius. He explains everything from how to find these shows to how you can set up and present your painting services. He’ll let you know how to get leads an...
