Margo is joined by watercolor artist, creative mentor, and founder of Blue Pine Arts, Trupti Karjinni. Since 2017, Trupti has taught over 45,000 students worldwide, guiding them to fall in love with watercolor while building confidence and creative joy. Today, she paints serene landscapes from the Canadian Rockies, creates handcrafted art supplies, and mentors artists who dream of teaching their art through courses, memberships, and retreats.

Together, they unpack Trupti’s journey from burnout to building a soul-aligned creative business that supports both artistic expression and financial freedom.

Margo and Trupti discuss:

• The path from making paints by hand to building Blue Pine Arts.

• Trupti’s transition from teaching on platforms like Skillshare to creating her own courses.

• What caused her creative burnout and how she rebuilt on her own terms.

• Why artists get stuck in hustle-mode (and how to break free).

• The importance of aligning your teaching business with your creative energy.

• How artists can honor both their creativity and financial goals.
