The Harmony of Art and Business

with Marisa Anne Cummings

Episode # 85

Marisa Anne Cummings is an L.A. based artist, designer and founder of Creative Thursday. A small intention to be more creative one day a week while working a 9 to 5 job… Creative Thursday grew into a full time business that is home to Marisa's art, podcast, YouTube interview series, blog and book of the same name. Passionate about encouraging others to live a life they love, especially creatively, Marisa also coaches Artists in Business. Her art sells worldwide and can be found in her own online boutique as well as select galleries and shops including Urban Outfitters, Crate and Barrel Kids, and Papyrus. Marisa has designed 9 fabric collections, and her book "Creative Thursday – Everyday Inspiration to Grow Your Creative Practice" was published in 4 languages. On a mission to invite Artists to rewrite their story of selling, value their work, confidently, consistently sell their creations to dedicated Collectors online, Marisa founded The Expansive Artists, a community of Business Artists she mentors. And yes! Iron Man owns her Art seen in the Avengers Endgame.
