Let's face it, the words "artist statement" or "bio" are words we artists love to ignore. Working on crafting a statement feels like administrative purgatory, and we’ll avoid it at any cost. But this small piece of writing is one of the most powerful tools you can use to get your art in front of the right people.

In this episode, I'm breaking down how to craft yours and I’ll show you how to do it in a way that truly reflects your unique artistic voice and vision. Writing about your art is about to become so much easier!

Why would an art podcast feature an episode about supplements? Because our physical well-being directly impacts our creative output!

In this episode of the Honest Art Podcast, I sit down with Alan Graves from DoNotAge.org to talk about maintaining energy and mental clarity through different life stages. You’ll also hear about my personal journey with their supplements, and how it completely revitalized my creativity when I was in a slump.

Taking care of your health and vitality is just as important as practicing your craft. Make sure you tune into the full episode to find out how you can do both!

As a professional artist for over 21 years, I get it – you want that loose, expressive style, but your paintings end up feeling stiff. I’ll let you in on a little secret…you’re trying too hard to get that effortless look.

What’s going to help you loosen up? Speed painting!

I learned about the power of speed painting almost by accident when an art consultant took the "unfinished" energetic pieces over my polished work. The process taught me a valuable lesson about play and having FUN with your art — crucial pieces to the process of making honest art®.

Speed painting may flip your creative process on its head…but your art will be better for it!
