• Episode 96: The Power of Negative Space in Your Art

  When starting out, many artists (myself included), struggle to understand how to elevate their work. They often wonder if they need to add more or change their style to make something beautiful happen.  However, the secret isn’t in adding MORE, but in utilizing LESS. We’re talking about negative space! But it’s not a dirty word — it just means the empty space surrounding the subject of an artwork. And it’s crucial for creating focus, depth, and complexity in your art.  If you feel like your work is missing something, negative space may be the most POSITIVE step you have taken yet.   Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

• Episode 95: Unleashing Your Inner Rebel: 10 Tips to Owning Your Voice

  Many artists wonder how to be more free with their art, but the answer isn't a single step — it’s a way of life. When you are free, you start listening to your intuition and discover your own unique style.  That freedom helps you to create art that is honest, raw, and connects with others. Your art becomes more than just a pretty picture; it becomes an expression of your true self.  It’s time to let go, to ditch the self-editing, and fear of being judged. It’s time to rebel — and this episode will give you a few great places to start! Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

• Episode 93: Healing Through Soul-Centered Art with Margie Woods

  This week’s episode has a very special guest!  Meet Margie Woods — a soul-centered artist who I’ve brought in to talk more about how art helps us heal.  We’ll talk about her journey as a mixed media artist, photographer, creativity coach, and therapist and how she uses art as a mode of healing and self-expression with herself and her clients. We’ll also talk about how to detach yourself from the outcomes, embrace the rawness of creativity, and help others find freedom through art.  And because Margie is also part of our current Studio Elite cohort, you'll hear firsthand what it’s like inside.
