Being an artist is vulnerable work. Slinging paint away in the studio for hours on end, trying to pull what’s in your mind out onto the canvas… It can become heavy after a while.

That’s why we need a community of fellow artists to support us, which is part of why I created my Studio Elite artist mastermind. We aren’t meant to walk this artist’s path alone.

Wondering how an artist mastermind could change your approach to your art (or your art biz)? Not sure a mastermind is right for you? Listen to what current Studio Elite members have to say about the community they’ve built and what else they’ve taken away from the program. They’ve had some truly amazing transformations — and they’ve built artist connections that will last for years to come.

I didn’t start painting because of its mental health benefits. However, it’s been an incredible benefit to my life. From the first painting I finished to slinging paint yesterday morning, art always seems to pull the deepest thoughts and feelings from the back of my mind.

Art helps us move emotions and stress out of our bodies. It helps us break past mental blocks and gives us the freedom and space to be our most authentic selves. Art is healing.

But have you ever wondered how? And why should it matter to you as an artist?

That’s what I’m answering in this episode of the Honest Art Podcast!

You may be ready to sell your art…but is your art ready to be sold?

It’s easy for artists to get caught up in the magic of creating our best work, but we can’t forget the logistics, too. Especially if we want to make a living from our art.

Selling your art requires knowing a few things about your ideal buyers AND what makes art sellable. And no, “good art” isn’t what sells.

Tune in to hear how to change your approach to selling your art based on your audience, and why you need a story to connect collectors to the right piece for them.

I get it, pricing your art is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of artists.

You’re worried people won’t buy the higher, but fair, price, so you lowball yourself over and over — until one day, you realize you’re not making any money from this gig!

Being an artist isn’t all about the money, but hey, those paintbrushes aren’t going to buy themselves! So to take some of that unknown out of the pricing equation (literally and figuratively), we’re talking about how to price your art in this episode!

We’ll cover:

• Simple, practical, and easy ways to generate a fair price for your art

• How to keep the buyer, collector, AND you, the artist, happy with the price

• How to push past doubt when it comes to selling your work

NOTE: This episode is a rerun of Episode 14. Why am I running it again? Because y’all got SO MUCH out of it! I’ve gotten so many messages about how helpful it’s been, so I wanted to bring it back to help even more folks who are new to the Honest Art Podcast. Enjoy!

Artists need good copywriting. But just because it's business doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

To prove it, I’ve brought in another one of my team members, Latasha Doyle to talk about ALL things content and copy.

What we talk about in this episode is mission-critical when it comes to selling your art. But you’ll hear a unique perspective because we’ll also show you how you can do it in a way that feels right FOR YOU (and is FUN!).

You ready? Let’s get messy and write some content!
