You are so welcome!

[@lydiapagonis5192]

Always so generous with the info you are sharing! I also love how real you are and don't edit out any "stumbles" .. keep it's authentic!!! Thank you! 😊

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

hahaha - I want people to know I stumble and make mistakes all the time. I also love watching bloopers myself so why not leave a few in.

[@MarnitzVermeulen]

I totally agree - it is comforting to see another normal human tell her story, give her insight and even 'stumbling;' over some words - not a pre-rehearsed act, but the "REAL DEAL' which makes Lori more believable and appreciated.

Firstly, this is SUCH a helpful video. Thank you! Secondly, I know you probably won't see this but, I've been looking for an art KZbin channel like yours for over a year now and I was beginning to think they didn't exist! The type of work you create, how engaging you are and how informative you are, are just exactly what I've been looking for! You're just great!!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

I try and read all my comments Anna 😊 so I did read yours and I can express how grateful I am. I truly want this channel to be a place where artist can come to get helpful information. So thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it! 😊

[@margretmcdermott2005]

I like your advice about responding quickly in the first hour after posting on social media; makes a lot of sense. Not only in terms of the algorithm, but I imagine it makes people feel good to be seen, so you’re nurturing potential collectors. And thanks for the pep talk, Lori, I needed that!!!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Hi Margret, yes I believe you are correct. It's also truly give me a sense of purpose too. Artist life is very isolating work so I love being able to connect as well. No problem❤️❤️❤️ I love giving pep talks haha

[@arkevaaknowles8022]

A very helpful piece, especially the point you ended with about devotion to the creating and the making of a body of work. There was a loud Bing when you addressed that issue. Your realism and entirely friendly demeanour are also noteworthy. Almost forgot - the thing about listening to feedback, definitely big. Tim from the Peg.

I stumbled across your video today. The content you are providing is very helpful by sharing the steps you have taken over 15 years. Thank you for sharing your amazing work and journey!

[@Kasumiandasa]

Instead of Linktree, I believe you can simply create a web page within your website that contains these buttons that link to each page which you want people to visit. I saw many creators doing that and thought it was a great idea! I'm not sure if you can do that on a Shopify website but it might be worth to have a look! :)

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

yep that can be accomplished with most websites and I agree it's better then using linktree

It's funny...because I haven't picked up a paintbrush for 3 decades I have zero interest in sales or websites right now.

I love how you "talk" to your followers, even allowing the fun bits about lacking coffee and such. I appreciate how genuine you are. I'm definitely a fan!!💗

I have been dreaming of being able to paint again for years and I am always browsing art videos. I came across yours and after watching, was so inspired and excited to get started. I have three young boys so I haven't had the time or energy to dedicate to really getting started paining again. I have always been creative and have dabbled in art my whole life. For years now I have been so drawn to watercolour and have been fantasizing of throwing myself into it full time but with the kids, it's been impossible. You really inspired me to stop the excuses and just get started practicing with whatever I have whenever I have time. I always thought I had to have the perfect moment and environment to create art, but maybe that's the wrong way of thinking. Maybe I just need to do it. I love your personality shining through your videos, you come across as really down to earth and humble and funny. I will keep watching, thank you for the inspiration!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Oh my gosh Lucie thank you for sharing your story...you are correct there will never be a perfect time. Being a mom no doubt is time consuming and exhausting.so if you managing to squeeze in some time for you to be creative I applaud you. It’s truly makes me happy to hear you found this video motivating and I hope you succeed with your goal ❤️

[@PaulWalesArt]

Lori, this popped into my feed this morning and although I'm pretty sure I've watched it before - I couldn't resist. I suspect part of your success is that you are willing to put yourself out there authentically as an artist and a business person. Of course your art is incredible, and yet you're clear that it took you time to get there - to get your body of work in place. Anyway - love you, love your art and love your videos. Be well! Incidentally - the pre-ad for your video was Shopify - so they're listening!!! 😁

[@anateresamendes-collins615]

Thank you for sharing. Just now at the point where I am creating a body of work that is consistent and a signature. 15 years of finding my voice and selling here and there…since January I found it and look forward to creating in every spare moment I have. 💕🐞💕

I love the fact that you share so much information. Thank you. How many artworks do you do in a week and how many do you sell. I think I’d be playing an entire month on one and then just look at it. You really are a professional at this gift you have such dedication. Your personality is wonderful don’t ever loose that spark with doing too much.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Hi Vanessa thanks so much. I truly appreciate that. I like to be able to create at least 5-10 pieces a month. There is no set number and it all depends on how I feel. Same with how many I sell...that number changes all the time some months it's 10 some months its 3 lol. Thanks, I hear you about doing too much and losing the spark. I try and take breaks and normally I travel but Covid has most of us trapped at home.

Lori, I think this is the best advice I have heard for emerging artists - to develop a signature style, and a body of work! You always have really down-to-earth things to say. And I think people hearing you speak about the number of hours you spend working will give them a reality check about what it takes!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Hi. I don't often comment on videos, but I just wanted tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I hit the like button and I'm subscribed, but wanted you to know that liking your videos is more than that. I laugh with you when you fall over your words. It shows you're human. I have chronic fatigue and my brain often struggles for the right word, panics and just lobs something similar in my mouth that is completely inappropriate. Sometimes these are very funny. Refreshing to see someone I imagine is 'put together' making a mistake. Everyone edits them out to appear perfect. Thank you for not doing that. It makes you more relatable. Also, I'm so grateful that you share all this info. I've yet to make the leap into selling my work, but your videos make this whole process less frightening. Thank you so much.

[@fabiancurto6484]

Hi Lori , I admire how prolific and dedicated you are as an artist (really I do ) . Working 12 or more hours a day is no joke, even doing what you love. Watching your videos I realize that the all process to be a successful artist is a long lonely journey and that make think some times the huge amount of time and resources that I have to invest. I mean , the only way to be successful is doing what you do as an artist and I don’t see any shortcut. The all idea paralyzed me in fear . Sometimes I doubt if I can make a living as an artist or not. Only time can tell. I’ll say it again I admire your dedication and enthusiasm! Thank you very much .

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

I don't really think there are any short cuts to success. It's such a wonderful journey through and if you were truly meant for this putting in the effort would be worth it. I also did very well being a part time artist and had a full time career, but for me it wasn't enough, I wanted that whole package so I was willing to and in a position to put in the work. When you are goal setting choose something on a smaller scale so you don't feel so paralyzed, then re-evaluate on a yearly basis and keep expanding on the goal. It also helps to break things down into smaller steps.

The reality is other then watermarking (which I really don't recommend) or simply never posting to social media it would be hard to prevent that from ever happening. What I said earlier is, I could be showing an art exhibition and leave my booth for a second when someone with a full frame high resolutions camera could take a photo of my art and sell it for prints. So I truthfully just don't worry about that...never have. I try and focus on things that I can control. 😊 probably not the answer you were hoping for.

I went from Wix to Wordpress using Divi to create my own website. It took long but I did it. I still struggle to get more viewers to my website. I am growing my subscriber list but want to get my art out there. I would really appreciate ant advice. Thank you for sharing! By the way, I really like your authentic style. I am currently working on a body of work and exploring. Working full time but I have ti do this.

Great advice, I need to just focus on art and I think that is the key. I was worried about creating a website and I didn't really have a major body of work, duh!!

Hi Lori, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the offerings you give to use beginners in art business. Can you comment, or perhaps you have on another video, selling originals vs glicee prints, versus Xerox prints. Selling both on Etsy, in shows and in galleries. Thank you again!
