If you're trying to control your art, you're cutting off the magic.

In this episode of The Honest Art® Podcast, I'm calling out the sneaky habit that keeps artists stuck … being too attached to the end result.

When you start painting already knowing how it should look, you stop creating and start performing. You shut down spontaneity, intuition, and the wild, beautiful chaos that makes Honest Art® come alive.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

• Why attachment kills creativity

• How to paint from intuition instead of ego

• What "trusting the process" actually looks like (and why it works)

This is your permission slip to paint like a kindergartener again … curious, bold, and totally free.

Every artist dreams of gallery representation … until they learn the truth about what really happens behind those white walls.

In this episode, I'm breaking the silence about the messy, often painful truth of gallery representation. From shady contracts to missing paintings and "forgotten" payments, I'm sharing the stories most artists are too scared to say out loud, and also how you can protect yourself.

You'll learn:

• Why gallery representation doesn't equal success

• How to spot red flags before signing anything

• The mindset shift that keeps you in power as an artist

Because gallery representation can be great. But they're not the source of your worth. That's all you, babe.
