Hey everyone! In this video, I’m reflecting on the lessons, challenges, and growth I’ve experienced over the past 3 years as a full-time artist. I’m sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between—what it really takes to turn your art into a sustainable career.

When I took the leap into full-time art  during the Great Resignation, I had no idea what to expect. I wanted to follow my dream, work on projects I truly cared about, and build something meaningful. Three years later, I’ve learned so much about balancing creativity, running a business, and taking care of myself as an artist.

Here’s what you can expect in this video:
🖌 The Business of Being an Artist: How I navigated the financial and organizational realities of running my art business.
🖌 Balancing Creativity, Money, and Rest: Why setting boundaries and aligning with your values is key to sustainable growth.
🖌 Systems and Continuous Learning: The habits and systems I’ve developed to stay organized and consistent over the years.

If you’re an artist considering taking the leap into full-time art, or if you’re already on that journey, informs you about my process. 

✨ Key Takeaways:

• You don’t have to know everything when you start.
• Balance is crucial—between art, business, and personal wellbeing.
• Continuous learning and reflection are game-changers for growth.

Let’s celebrate the milestones, learn from the setbacks, and keep building creative careers that align with who we are.
