In this episode, Kat talks about shifting our perspective and invites you to think about the deeper meaning behind your art.

Would you still create if you were independently wealthy? Would you still want to be seen and share your work?

Of course, you would.

We are exploring the deeper motivation that keeps us going through all seasons and remind ourselves not to get stuck in the fleeting moment, keeping our vision in mind.

Wouldn't be great to see your work on a beautiful display, have meaningful conversations with others all while making sales?

Why not take your work out into the world, connect with others and elevate your career in the process?

I know at some point you have probably wondered, "which juried opportunities should I apply for?" or "how do I know if it's a good fit or a huge waste of time?"

Your time and resources are valuable, which is why in this episode, Kat reads an excerpt from our book, The Complete Smartist Guide, to help you figure out how to make decisions on what to apply for in your art career.

Imagine if you hired a mentor or someone who is supposed to help you, and they made you feel like total crap. It can be painful and crushing, right?

The good news is that mistakes are part of growth and are inevitable.

Kat shares powerful lessons about messing up, mistakes, errors, and failures and how they ultimately have no power over your success.

Join host Ekaterina Popova and Sharon Wensel on an inspiring episode about returning to art later in life, recommitting to your passion after raising a family, and finding healing and inspiration through nature.

"This body of work was inspired by runs on the local trails and quiet very early morning walks with my dog. I live in a rural area that supplies a lot of inspiration through nature. I am hypnotized by the light streaming through the trees and how it is reflected on the leaves in a multitude of shapes and colors."

Sharon Wensel was born in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania and currently resides in Skippack, Pennsylvania. She has two amazing sons. She studied at Hussian School of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the fine Arts, and Montgomery County Community College. She is a member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and Art Queens. She has received numerous awards for her pastel, photography, and mixed media work. You can find her work in private and public collections throughout the country.
