Today I am speaking with the wonderfully generous and talented Amica Aindow. Australian artist, Amica is as an abstract expressionist painter, known for creating earthy, botanical forms that evoke the intricacy and beauty of the natural world.

We are talking all things Art Fairs, balancing work and art and finding freedom in art without financial pressure. We also do a full ‘health and wellness’ detour and talk about diet and neurodivergence. Try to keep up with us…

I also mentioned in this episode:
Episode 14: This first episode I interviewed Amica

Episode 50: Interview with Kaite Wyer

And cross stitch patterns for download. Yes, I really made them! Street Art CrossStitch!

If you’d like to check out Amica’s work, or get in touch with her you can find her on:

Feeling swamped by too many ideas? You are not alone. As creatives, our minds are full of possibilities: murals, workshops, digital products, business projects. But when everything feels urgent, nothing gets done.

🎧 Spotify Blurb – Episode: "Consistency vs. Energy (Season 2 Finale)"

In this final episode of Season 2, I get honest about the balancing act between consistency and energy. If you’re a creative business owner trying to do all the things, this episode is for you.

I talk about why I’ve decided to take a break from the podcast — not because I don’t love it, but because I want to show up with quality, not burnout. I reflect on the energy it takes to make good creative content, why rest matters, and how we can pause with purpose.

I also share some thoughts on my recent Open Studios weekend and leave you with 3 juicy visioning prompts to work on while the podcast is on pause. Plus — if you’ve been thinking about joining the Group Coaching Program, now is the time! The price goes up after 1 July, and this is your chance to lock in Foundation Member pricing.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s a well-earned breather. I’ll see you for Season 3 — refreshed and ready.

In this episode of Art + Business + Murals, I’m diving into why having a distinct mural art style isn’t just helpful — it’s essential.

I’ll share how your unique style becomes your brand, how it helps clients remember and recommend you, and how it makes pricing and pitching your work so much easier. We’ll also talk about the great artists of the past — from Frida Kahlo to Keith Haring — and how their unmistakable styles helped shape their legacies.

Plus, I’ll explore the balance between personal style and community-based mural work — and why artists with versatile styles can truly shine in collaborative spaces.

Whether you’re just finding your style or refining it, this episode will remind you why your creative fingerprint matters.
