When you pause and consider the many ways creativity is expressed, it feels overwhelming and beautiful. Beyond painting, drawing, digital art, and watercolor, there’s music, fashion, interior design, and even the world of business and creative problem-solving. 

Today’s guest, Maria Brito, is in over 13 years deep into the art scene from an indirect and surprising path. From a Harvard graduate to a corporate attorney, Maria is an award-winning, New York-based contemporary art advisor, entrepreneur, author, and curator. She shares how her journey into art is rooted in writing blogs featuring artists, and how that has shaped her journey leading to the release of her first book, Creativity Rules the World, The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold. 

Maria takes us deep into the world of art and creativity as it relates to business.  

“Creative process is nothing more than your unique ability to come up with ideas of value that are relevant and that you know you can execute.” -Maria Brito 

Key areas we explore for artist and creative appreciation: 

• Focus on the experience of creating and selling your art, not the transaction 
• Building your art business can be enjoyable, fulfilling, and financially rewarding 
• There are parallels between your art and the business you are building 

“Artists are always attuned to the here and now and expressing that human aspect through their work” -Maria Brito 

Maria has turned a career of very little to no freedom as a corporate attorney around into the world of art and appreciation, and now elevates artists, their stories, and their work in a way that allows her to live a much more fulfilling life. 

Her book is about making creativity work for your business and recognizing art as the inexhaustible resource it is that is available to everyone in a thriving world.
