The truth is, it takes a long time to learn how to make a living as an artist. When you are a full time artist, you aren’t just a painter, you’re also a small business owner. I wish we lived in a world where we could just make art and not worry about the rent but, alas. Learning the skills you need to have a profitable art business will come from many different teachers over many years. Starting a...

The harsh reality of being an artist is that at some point, you are going to be rejected. The world of a fine artist isn't paved with praise and acceptance. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve been rejected, but I’m pretty sure it’s in the 100s. There is something about the delicious sting of a letter in your mailbox that says “Thank you so much for applying, unfortunately we’ve picked some...

I love record keeping and data analysis, especially if it is of my own creative habits. Since 2011 I’ve been keeping a Studio Log in my art studio that records everything that I do while I’m at art work. The Studio Log tells you about time you’ve spend working, how you felt about it, what you want to work on next, and how often you are taking breaks. It’s a powerful reflective tool that that’s a m...

Since starting The Artist’s Way, I’ve been having a once a week adventure called The Artist Date. This is a solo date that is designed to feed your inner Artist and boost your creativity. At the beginning of the program, I was a little lost as to what to do for my artist date. I looked around for lists online and got some inspiration, but nothing that I felt I could immediately do. Once I got more...

I came up with this system in my mid 20’s and have never looked back. I will warn...
