As the year comes to a close, Victoria answers some of the most common questions artists are asking right now—from choosing the right opportunities to growing an online presence with intention. She shares why long-term vision is the anchor for decision-making, how to build meaningful relationships in the art world, and why authenticity (not trends) is the strongest strategy for social media. Victoria also invites artists to pause, reflect, and set the energetic tone for 2026 before diving into goals or planning.

In this episode, she also announces that she’s opening a very limited number of 1:1 Strategy Sessions for new artists, designed to help you gain clarity, direction, and a solid plan for the year ahead.

Victoria also shares details about the debut of her new watercolor series Where Flowers Dream, on view at Warnes Contemporary in Brooklyn on December 13, with a free in-person watercolor workshop on December 14. This episode is for artists who want to enter 2026 feeling grounded, strategic, and empowered—ready to take aligned steps toward the career they truly want.
