I do like to hear about the business side of being and working as an artist. We each are so different from one another--thank goodness--that it can be difficult to sort through recommendations by other business minded artists because the details of what we do is so varied. Current rules of thumb are helpful. And I am frequently looking for approaches that resonate with me and my work. But I also have learned to be less timid about making inquiries re galleries, potential commissions. Its just not second nature to me, yet. Great interview here. I'll be thinking about what things I am avoiding because of being unsure...

I have the challenge of letting go of someone else liking it, while working. Having to sell would bring back having to have approval. I love your ideas and will take it to heart. I will rewatch this. Thank you.

I love how Bonnie encouraged you to take the next step! I laughed out loud when she asked if you were going to reach out to Brené and Tim. I'm learning so much from both of you!😮

[@floyealy547]

Wow 😮 you two were reading my thoughts. I am so grateful I discovered your podcast. You have no idea how much you’re helping me emotionally and creatively. I needed this so much. I have spent 36 years of my life pouring into others and postpone doing art. Family and friends are constantly telling me; you need to share your work. This episode was so good. Thank you so much for being so intentional with your thoughts and words. ❤

[@debbiegarland7124]

Thankyou so much, this has really helped me get over the whole mind set of hating the business side of art. I’m going to stop hiding away so much and start sharing more. I find it hard to self promote, but am also proud of what I do, weird. Working in a series and being honest and open from the soul. Thanks❤

Settling down with a coffee and looking forward to this!

[@myfairytreasures]

Thank you both this is just what I needed. So I'm going to do that next uncomfortable thing and then the next uncomfortable thing. I so agree with giving your why so others want to be apart of it, they want to be apart of the energy your putting out. I'm so excited, thank you sooo much!
