This week’s episode features Shaunna Russell but you might know her as @weekdaybest on social media. Shaunna paints these beautiful rainbow style pet portraits. Her colors are so bright and fun so you can imagine why she caught my eye on Instagram over a year ago. Shaunna’s story is an inspiring one with one reason being that she started her art career with two very young kids at home. I think she’s a shining example of what happens when you’re consistent and intentionally play to your strengths. Shaunna also mentions how she would rather just hide in her studio and paint all day, like us of us would, but she fights against that urge and puts herself out there anyway. And it’s working! Let me know what you think about this week’s episode with Shaunna Russell.

This week I asked Artist Academy Advanced student Jen Baum if she wanted to hop on a live coaching call to talk about her art business. I asked Jen specifically because I knew recently she was feeling a bit discouraged and anxious that her art business wasn’t growing as fast as she’s wanting it to. Jen is brand new to the art world, having just made her website and is just recently getting used to the idea of actually calling herself an artist for the first time. This can be such an exciting and stressful time for any beginner trying to navigate something brand new. In this episode I give Jen some really good ideas to jumpstart her progress. These are ideas that stem from things I have personally implemented in my own art business and now can pass along to her and anyone else needing help in the beginning phase. Let me know what you think about this week’s episode with Jen Baum.

This week’s episode features ecommerce expert, Chelsea Cardoza. You might recognize this last name since Chelsea’s husband, Justin Cardoza, was on a recent podcast episode talking all about his life as a cinematographer. Chelsea is the online marketer behind the scenes of their new company ModBox so she knows all things SEO and Google adds. In this episode she breaks it down for us and explains how we can use these online marketing tools to benefit our art business. I think of Google as a step up from social media. It’s a whole new world but it doesn’t have to be a scary one and can really be super profitable once you get the hang of it. Chelsea actually got me really excited to test out a variety of different adds including YouTube so I’ll report back soon on how that goes. I don’t think adds are a technique for an artist who is just starting out but even if that’s you, I would still advise listening in so you’re prepared for the next step up in your art business when it does come time. Plus her SEO strategies are well explained and something you can implement into your current website today. So let me know what you think about this week’s episode with Chelsea Cardoza.

This week’s episode features body positivity advocate Anne Claire Fleer. Anne is a body painting artist currently living in London and I was so excited to get to talk with her about her newfound niche. In this episode she walks us through the process of how she got to where is, which is painting women who are often traveling through the UK. She gives them a one of a kind experience by painting their naked body against an abstract backdrop. Not your average profession. You can tell how excited Anne is when she talks about this passion project and at one point she says, “I’m determined to make this work” and THAT’S exactly the attitude that will get you anything you want in life, and it’s the reason why Anne is doing so well. Let me know what you think about this week’s episode with Anne Claire Fleer.
