In this week's conversation you’ll discover that Laura’s exhibition opening has been and gone. We discuss various aspects of what her first solo exhibition experience revealed. We also talk about what to do when what your audience wants isn’t always what you’re yearning to create.

There’s also a quick dip into how to open yourself up for commissions.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

This episode we ride the emotional roller coaster of pricing your work. As much as we would all love a magic bullet for this process there’s no simple answer to the question ‘How Much?’ when it’s time to price your work.

Join me as I help Laura along this tricky path and share some of my guiding principles.

This episode we are getting technical and into the nerdy nitty-gritty of all aspects of finishing our work. From varnishing to questioning the conventions of signing and dating our work I spill the beans on all things practical for getting those finishing touches just right.

I've tried a lot of artists products for this process and I have shared some of my faves.

I hope you enjoy the episode,

XO Suze

This week’s conversation examines self-sabotage and it’s attempts to derail our art practice.

We dive in to how it presents and how you can set up your creative space with the ambiance to nurture creative flow.

In today's solo episode I talk about that particular brand of artists anxiety that we all experience from time to time. I'm sharing my top 6 tips for managing the unique challenges of being a professional artist and spoiler alert: They're all centered around having more compassion for yourself.

Guided meditations -

*Please note that the Danielle La Porte meditation that I was intending to reference in this episode was ‘The Embrace’ Meditation.  I mistakenly mention ‘Love and Radiance’ meditation, which is still a beautiful one, but not the one I am talking about in the episode. Sorry for the confusion!

Danielle LaPort "The Creation Space" + "Love and Radiance" 

Jo Dispenza 'Becoming Supernatural'

 Julia Cameron 'The Artists Way'

In this episode we reveal how a time-lapse video can bring clarity, clues and mindfulness to the mid-zone of a painting process.

I share my feedback on one of Laura’s paintings and my strategies to help her move forward from a ‘thinking’ to ‘feeling’ space.

We talk about:

· Shifting the goal posts and learning how to loosen up when you’re used to creating more resolved art pieces.

· Trusting that the ‘history’ of the canvas will shine through and how to keep going even when you think you’ve stuffed it up.

· Finding the clues in your work for future paintings

· Using time-lapse video as a tool to gain a fresh perspective on your art.

This episode is a juicy one! With her deadline looming, Laura shares how as she steps into the reality of her dream of becoming a professional artist it's beginning to feel uncomfortable.

I share my experiences with these feelings and dive into the paradigm shift I call the ‘up-leveling freak-out'.

I unleash my inner woo-woo and open up on my art as a spiritual practice. I share how painting with intuition has allowed me to trust the process and move through the fear. I also discuss how to take micro-actions when flashes of insight present themselves.
