In this episode, I’m diving into six common pricing mistakes that so many artists (my past self included!) make when selling art prints. We’ll talk about why looking at what others charge can lead you astray, how vague pricing formulas can actually hurt your sales, and why it’s so easy to undervalue your work, and more!

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal update on my health and how it’s been affecting my art business. Recently, I’ve been dealing with chronic pain and reduced mobility, which has really forced me to slow down and rethink how I operate.

I talk about the practical steps I'm to keep things going while I navigate this new reality — like focusing on repurposing existing artwork instead of pressuring myself to create something new, and giving older pieces new life in different formats.

I hope this episode feels supportive for anyone else going through something similar.

I also want to share a little trick that helps me manage any worry: practicing gratitude! By shifting our focus from just the numbers to the amazing people behind those sales, we can cultivate a healthier mindset. This approach not only makes us feel better but can also lead to smarter decision-making.
