Your Art Matters

When Your Art Finds The Right People

Have you ever held back the work that means the most to you because you weren't sure the world was ready for it?

In today's episode I'm joined by Denise Couzens, a member of our community, who shares the story of her first solo exhibition and the four year journey that led her there.

From £3 keyrings at a craft fair to a village hall in the Cotswolds where strangers stood in silence in front of her paintings and conversations were priceless.

Denise followed the advice of others for years, build a website, show up on social media, do do do and once Denise let go of all that and brought it back to CONNECTION.  Everything changed.
This is a conversation about courage, connection and what happens when you finally share the work that really comes from you.

My Plans To Leave Meta In Three Years
What do you do when you really don't like something but you're not quite ready to let it go?
In today's episode I'm sharing something I've been sitting with for a while. My decision to leave Meta in three years, why giving it a deadline has completely changed how I'm showing up there, and what I'm building in the meantime. If you've been feeling the weight of social media lately, this one will resonate.

REINVENTING YOURSELF AS AN ARTIST
Have you ever felt like you can't settle as a creative? Like you keep moving between mediums, styles and ideas and you're not sure whether that's a strength or a sign that something's wrong?
In today's episode I'm talking about reinvention, why everything you've ever made is leading you somewhere, and how looking back has given me more clarity about where I'm going next than anything else could have. If you're in a season of change right now, this one is for you.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ART STAND OUT IN A BUSY WORLD
Feeling lost in the noise and wondering how on earth anyone is supposed to get their work seen right now?
In today's episode I'm sharing three things that will actually help.
It's not about posting more or being louder, but about connecting more clearly with the right people, leaning into what makes your work different, and showing up consistently enough for the right people to find you.
 
THE STANDOUT ARTIST MASTERCLASS
The 3 steps to finding the right people and opportunities for your art.
In this masterclass we will cover:
Making art that is unmistakably yours so it stands out to the right people
Who your people are, because when you want to get your art into the world, people are everything
Connecting, instead of just being visible, so your art reaches the right people and opportunities
28th September, 11am UK (replay available for 48 hours)

TIRED OF CHASING ART SALES?
I've been having the same conversation a lot recently. Artists who are exhausted. Creatives who have built something real and are now running on empty trying to keep up with a world that keeps changing.
In today's episode I'm talking about what to do when selling your art stops feeling worth it, why this happens, and the question I asked myself last year that changed how I was looking at everything.
If you've been feeling the fatigue of chasing sales lately, this one is for you.
