23. When the Well Runs Low
Creativity doesn’t vanish—it just hibernates. Sometimes the inspiration stops flowing. Sitting down to make art feels awkward and foggy, and we can never fully understand why. I’ve been through dry seasons before, and I know this pause isn’t forever—just for now. In this episode, I’m sharing what it feels like when inspiration runs low, why I’m giving myself space to reset, and how I trust the creative tide will eventually return.

20. Working Big Traumatized Me, So I Stopped
I’ve been making small art for most of my creative career, but I’ve always struggled with the pressure to work big for years and years, despite the fact that I LOVE working small, I make beautiful work in small format, and I HATE working big. In this episode, I share how I recently fell into a bit of a people pleaser ditch, trying to work big for the wrong reasons, in the wrong ways. Fortunately, I eventually dug myself out and emerged even brighter and shinier than ever before. Detours are n...

19. Talking About Your Art
Recently, I’ve had to talk about my work with a fair amount of people, in various settings, and I’ve had to share more deeply about why I make my work, what it’s all about, and what it means to me. Without fail, each time I share about my work, I can tell that people feel more interested in my work, more inspired by it, and more connected to it in general. I’ve been working on this for a few years now and I’ve learned a lot about the process. It’s not natural and it’s not easy, especially for...

18. Everything You Need To Know About Art Markets With Kate Cuthbert
In this amazing episode, I talk with collage artist and art market extraordinaire, Kate Cuthbert. Kate was recently diagnosed with MS and has shifted from her decades-long path selling her work at art markets, to teaching others how to master all there is to know about the wonderfully whacky world of art markets. Born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, collage artist, Kate Cuthbert, studied furniture design before focusing on her life-long love of collage art. In 2014 she began s...

17. Some Art World Boundaries I Want To Set, But Am Afraid To
In this episode I talk about boundaries and the way they can act as vehicles for self-love and great change. I'm setting some art world boundaries for myself as I move forward in my art career, even though it feels a bit scary, and I feel uncertain. Setting boundaries is an amazing way to initiate positive change, and it's our way of telling the universe that we are ready for more and better! What boundaries have you set, are thinking about setting, or are afraid to set in your art career? Sh...

16. Goal and Intention Setting for the Unambitious Artist
In this episode, I'm speaking from total experience, as a recovering unambitious (aka lazy artist), sharing with you ways I've endeavored to moved past my laziness (that disguised my deep rooted fear), and into the comfortable goal and intention setting zone of art making.

15. Resisting the Urge to Rush-Post on Social Media
In this episode, I’m going to unpack my thoughts about the speed in which we create things, and the pressure we can come up against to have something new and fresh and amazing to post on social media, both regularly and often. It’s hard when your income is solely based on your art-making. But, for those of us who don’t have to worry about that, but still feel the pressure, I think it’s important to resist the urge to rush the creative process, which leads to rush-posting, and to instead focus...

14. The Difference Between Making Big Wow Art and Mediocre Art
In this episode, I share ten differences between what it looks and feels like to make Big Wow Art and just Mediocre Art. Making Big Wow Art is no joke! This process can trigger endless amounts of fear and doubt and can be physically and emotionally draining. Time and again I'm reminded that being an artist and living this life is not for the weak, or for the faint of heart. But, it's so worth it in the end, once we can recognize the difference between when we're offering up our best efforts a...

13. The Success Time Warp That People Don’t Talk About
In this episode I try to reconcile the massive time gap between when we create things and when the world finally understands them in very tangible ways. Artists and successful people have always experienced this time warp, but it can feel really challenging to keep going if we don't realize the misalignment that is just part of the creative process and success in general. Once we understand and accept that this time warp exists, we can work with it, not against it, and find that our patience ...

12. What Happens When You Make Lots of Art?
In this episode, I explain the benefits of making lots of art, regularly, and often. I never used to value this idea and thought it just seemed wasteful and pointless. I thought I could just make art here and there, when I felt like it, and all would be well. But my art career continued to suffer and I just never understood why. When I started a disciplined practice, making more art, more regularly, some super magical things started to happen and everything started turning around.. Today, the...

11. Committing To Your Art
In this episode, I expand upon the process of committing to your art. It seems like an amorphous idea, and I think the more natural talent we have, the more likely it is that we will avoid committing to our art, thinking that success will just arrive on its own. When that doesn’t happen, it can be really puzzling and very humbling! But we can turn that all around, once we commit to doing the work and standing our ground through thick and thin as an artist. This process has made me a better ar...

10. My Creative Process
In this podcast episode I get current about what I'm working on in the studio and share a bit of background about my life, my creative work, and why I make the kind of art I make. When I first create a new body of work, I don't often talk about it because I don't always know what I'm doing, I'm just flowing with what is coming. But, I think it's really important for artists to stay in verbal and cognitive contact with their process, even if it doesn't make much sense in the beginning. I'm sup...

7. Obey Your Art
In this episode, I talk about the importance of letting your art take you in the direction it wants you to go, rather than forcing your art in the direction you think the both of you should go. I share about some recent pivots I’ve had to take in the name of obeying my art, and how those detours came about. I discuss the importance of trust and surrender when obeying your art. And finally, I talk about how obeying your art often requires you to change your plans completely. But through all of...

I also share with you a super vulnerable whoops moment that I experienced from taking a chance, and how it's all part of the beautiful process of learning how to be braver, so we can show up as the courageous artists this world so desper...
