In this week's update, I'm exploring the powerful question of why you should pursue your dreams and what it really takes to make them a reality. This isn't your typical motivational episode—it’s an honest look at overcoming fear and the internal resistance that holds us back from a creative life.

Join me as I share my charcoal drawing process for a brand new piece, and show you the latest Etsy shop art prints I've added. You'll see how I'm actively working to achieve my dreams and put the pursue your dreams motivation into practice.

This is about more than just art, it's about how to take action on your dreams and find joy in the process. I'll share how I'm creating joy in my life right now, even in the midst of a busy schedule. If you need a reminder to start believing in yourself, this is for you.

This motivational episode dives into that question, especially for those of us who feel a little "out of tune" and stuck in survival mode. If you're wondering why your dreams matter more than you think, this is for you.

In this episode, I explore the philosophical and practical struggle of how to take action on your dreams when life feels messy. I'll share my journey of overcoming fear of failure and fighting self-doubt, and why I believe that pursue your dreams motivation is a life-giving act.

I also talk about finding your passion and purpose in life and the small, consistent daily habits for a successful life that can help us get there. This isn't just about a motivational speech, but a real-life exploration of why you should pursue your dreams even when it's hard.

I also touch on ideas from stoicism for women and share some of my own experience as a creative person trying to learn from other artists. Watch the full creative motivational video to learn more about my personal journey and find the creative encouragement you might need to take action on your own dreams.

I'm cheering you on to keep believing in yourself and bring more magic into your everyday life!

Welcome back to my artist vlog! This creative process vlog takes you behind the scenes of my "reentry" week after vacation, diving straight into exciting updates for my Etsy shop artist journey.

I'm thrilled to share my new artist branding strategies, including the process of creating a fresh logo design for artists. I'll walk you through how I developed my new visual identity and explain my brand strategy for artist growth in 2025. You'll see how I integrated this new look into my product mockups, artist Etsy branding, and even my YouTube channel header!

In this video, you'll also get a homemade sketchbook update as I continue to test hot press watercolor paper. See a quick painting in progress and learn about the ongoing experiment with Arches watercolor paper.

I'm also revealing how I'm making it easier for customers in my etsy art print shop to find frames for my prints by creating a free frames guide. My goal is to empower other artists, offering small art business tips and insights into artist productivity. As an artist vlogger illustrator, I hope you'll learn from other artists and find art inspiration in my journey.
