If you’re wondering if it’s possible to have a thriving and profitable online art business, this episode is for you. Listen as I share the mistakes I made along the way and the one thing that changed everything for me.
One of my biggest values is that of possibility, which is why my very first episode is me telling my story. This episode will show you what’s possible when you refuse to let failure dictate your outcome as an artist. My journey towards being a successful, profitable artist wasn’t easy. It was pathed with obstacle after obstacle, but I’ll be forever grateful for those because they taught me to see challenges through the lens of possibility.
Hormones, scams, failure….this episode tells the complete story of how I went from a failing print artist to a 5 times sold out online artist. It’s jammed packed full of drama, but also helpful tips and lessons that will help you along your own journey to becoming a thriving artist yourself.
