In this episode of The Art Coaching Club Podcast, we sit down with Allison Ford, an abstract and mixed media artist based in South Carolina, to explore how she transformed her passion for painting into a growing creative business. Known for her intuitive, texture-rich process and use of bold color, Allison shares the behind-the-scenes reality of building a sustainable art practice—one layer at a time.
What We Cover:
How Allison found her artistic voice during a “sabbatical” between jobs
Her organic transition from painting for fun to selling work and navigating business logistics
The messy middle of balancing creation, marketing, taxes, and staying consistent
Her strategies for using Instagram intentionally despite algorithm shifts
Honest reflections on community, comparison, and mindset work
The value of support systems, tracking wins, and celebrating growth (even when it’s scary)
Allison’s advice for artists: take the leap—even if it feels imperfect
Whether you're a fellow emerging artist or someone curious about what it really takes to turn art into a business, this episode is filled with practical strategies and emotional encouragement to help you keep moving forward—even in uncertainty.
