Kellee is sharing more of her experiences, specifically, this time around her experiences with galleries.

 Ever wondered what having your art in a gallery could look like?  What it would take and what are your expectations?

Kellee shares about her time when she worked as a curator and gives some insight into how these businesses are run, the different types of galleries, and what this can mean for an artist.  She also shares how an artist can show up better prepared and more professional.

As an artist who also had her art in galleries, Kellee also shares that perspective and what that looked like for her.

While she ultimately decided that galleries weren't for her, the collaborations and partnerships she built over that time went on to serve her in a different way.

In the last episode, Kellee talked about the things she did wrong when starting her business but today Kellee is sharing all thing things she did right and that has allowed her to get to where she is today. 

This episode titled Things I Did Right When Starting My Art Business continues this summer's mini-series where Kellee shares her experience of starting her art business, in her words, she is sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly.
 
When you listen to this episode you'll learn the importance of tenacity but some of the other things Kellee did right were;

• Finding community - Kellee has talked about this many times but it's so important to find a like-minded group of people who are doing similar things to you and who understand the struggles you face,  these can be online but it's also nice to find a physical community if you're able.
• Getting mentorship - This can be in the form of free YouTube tutorials, paid programs where you are learning a skill or tool, or mentorship through coaching or joining a mastermind.  Be open and willing to grow and learn, it is this way that you will learn the skills needed to run your business.
• Be consistent and show up - this can mean different things at different times of your journey but keep showing up and showing who you are.  You are your brand.  You can change your platforms but keep showing up.  Consistency in visibility is everything.
• Be willing to be different.    Be willing to try things.  As her father would remind her, If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Kellee is continuing the summer mini-series about running a business.   In the episode, Kellee is sharing some of the mistakes she made when she started her art business.  She's sharing them so that hopefully you don't make the same mistakes.  Or if you've already made them, you can commiserate and know you have company.

She talks about;

• Spending too much time on branding and logos etc and not enough time on creating the art,
• Creating collateral  before she was ready,
• Selling prints before she'd mastered the art of selling the original,
• Not hiring soon enough and not hiring the right people,
• Focusing on all the things rather than doing one thing and doing it well.

5 Reasons to Start your Art Business is episode 22 of Unfold with Kellee Wynne and it is part of a special summer series that Kellee is bringing to you where she's talking about building a business and having those honest conversations about what it is and as importantly what it is not.

Kellee is sharing her journey and what motivates and lights her up in the hopes that it, in turn, inspires and prompts you to look for what lights you up and to build your own business by design and not by default.

In this episode, Kellee is talking about her 5 reasons for starting her business;

1. She was able to choose herself
2. She was able to live and build a business based on her own values and lifestyle
3. She had room for personal growth
4. She had income potential
5. The ability to make a contribution.  To make a difference by supporting people and causes that matter to her.

Kellee also keeps it real and talks about what business doesn't give you and some of the reasons you may want to slow down and pause building a business for a later time or build it while being aware that it will be a slower process.

Welcome to episode 20 of Unfold with Kellee Wynne.  Today we’re taking a step back to being a little reflective.   

The Virtual Art Summit closes today and we’ve talked about it all month but today is also the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month and it’s an opportunity to talk about destigmatizing mental health and the conversations we have around it.  The USA started observing Mental Health Awareness Month in 1949 but it’s only in recent years that it’s become mainstream and this needs to continue and become part of everyday conversations.  

In this episode, Kellee shares her own journey with her mental health and how she addressed it, and how she continues to work on it.  She shares 3 main steps.

"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal." - Toni Morrison

The world needs our creativity.  Get the support you need so you can be centered so that you can create your art and bring beauty to the world.

Welcome to episode 19 of Unfold with Kellee Wynne.  The Virtual Art Summit has been open for the entire month of May.  Doors close on May 31st and in this episode, Kellee shares how it all came to be.  

2020 was a hard year for most of us but it was this very event and circumstances in which the Virtual Art Summit was conceptualized.  Wherever we were in the world, whatever our situation, we now all shared a common pain which was COVID and the lockdowns, but in most cases, it also created a closer bond to community and family and caused many of us to look inward.

It was during this time that Kellee felt a call to bring together artists to share their voices and style, create tutorials, and share something that would keep people busy, connected, and creative.  It was a call that 15 other artists were quick to respond to and within a month they’d put together the first Virtual Art Summit, in which thousands participated.  And from then it would become a yearly summit with 2022 being our 3rd year.

Welcome to Ep 18 of Unfold with Kellee Wynne, and today Kellee is talking to her friend, colleague, and fellow artist and Virtual Art Summit participant, Laly Mille.

Laly is an artist based in France and Kellee credits her with being part of that transition from being an artist to being an artist that also teaches art.  Back in 2017, Kellee took a course with Laly where she was introduced to the online art education world.  The next year Kellee met Laly in person in her home in France which is a special ‘extra’ in the online space.

Following the theme of the summit, Kellee and Laly continue the conversation about finding your voice and how to go about it.  Laly shares her thoughts but it boils down to;

• Slow down and take your time to discover what you like, what you enjoy, and what you don’t like
• Find that golden thread that weaves it all together

“Finding your own authentic voice, can take time, but it is worth it”

Laly quotes Beatrix Potter “There is something magical about writing the first words of a story, you never quite know where they’ll take you”

The same can be said for art.

And we have a bonus for you.  Through the Virtual Art Summit, you can have

Are you living a Life by Design and not by Default?  Welcome to Episode 17 of Unfold with Kellee Wynne. Today we’re talking about fear and how we’re letting it hold us back when we don’t need to because fear is boring. 

We’re talking about a term coined by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of one of Kellee’s favorite books, Big Magic.  Elizabeth says ‘Fear is Boring’ and this is the title of today's episode.  Kellee shares Elizabeth’s story and why she says fear is boring, what kind of fear we’re talking about, and why we need to overcome it.

In this episode, Kellee also talks about her own recent experiences with fear, her dog, and her thoughts about how fears play out.

She gives out some homework.  Who is brave enough to step out of the shadow of fear?   Kellee also gives some parting advice about showing up for your audience and connecting with them.
