If your art business has felt a little quiet, uncertain, or unpredictable lately, let me tell you: you are not alone. The economy is feeling uncertain, the energy in the world is even more so. And Artists are often feeling it all -- and we still need to make SALES! Let's discuss.

In this episode is part one of a longer conversation and is a grounded guide to selling your art in every season (literally and metaphorically).

We’ll talk about the internal seasons we all cycle through—winter (rest), spring (inspiration), summer (creation), and autumn (harvest)—and how understanding those rhythms can transform the way you run your creative business. You’ll get practical insights and encouragement whether you’re gearing up for a launch, deep in the studio, or resting between collections.

In this heartfelt solo episode, I’m sharing a little life update from inside my creative world. From painting on the porch in the spring sunshine to opening up commissions for the first time in years, this season feels full of growth, return, and reconnection.

I’ll walk you through what it’s been like working through The Artist’s Way, what’s blooming inside the Making Art Work masterclass (we’re on Week 7!), and a peek behind the scenes as I plan the first-ever Making Art Work Live event this fall.

If you’ve been feeling a pull to return to your creative self, slow down, or simply hear from someone walking the path beside you—you’re in the right place.
