  35. How I Know When a Piece is Finished

  Sep 2, 202620 minS1

  How do you know when a piece is finished? It’s one of the most common — and most avoided — questions in an artist’s practice. In this episode, I get honest about the fear of walking away too early, the paralysis of overworking, and the signals I’ve learned to trust after years of getting it wrong. From my scanning method to the role of time and distance, to the one question that cuts through all the noise — this episode is a candid look at what it actually takes to call something done, and mean it.

  33. Working Big Broke Me Once. Here’s What Happened When I Tried Again

  Jul 2, 202620 minS1

  If you’ve ever tried something creative, failed, and walked away — this episode is for you. A little over a year ago, I tried working big in my collage practice and it sent me into a creative tailspin that lasted months. I couldn’t figure out how to move forward, so I went back to working small. In this episode I’m talking about what went wrong the first time, how working mid-size helped me quietly rebuild my confidence, and what finally changed when I tried working big again. This time it’s different — and some of my strongest work yet is coming out of it. If you’re a mixed media artist, collage artist, painter, or any kind of maker who has ever retreated from a creative challenge and wondered if you’d ever go back, I think this one will resonate.

  31: How I Price My Collage Art (And Why It Took Me So Long to Get It Right)

  May 2, 202617 minS1

  <p>Pricing your art is one of the most confusing, emotionally loaded parts of being a working artist—and almost no one talks about it honestly. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I price both my original collages and my prints, including the formula for pricing originals that I learned from a woman who runs a collector platform and completely changed the way I think about my work’s value. I also share the simple rule I use for prints that finally made the whole thing feel manageable. If you’ve ever just made up a number...

  <p>In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience selling work on Saatchi Art over the past few years. I talk about how the platform unexpectedly jump-started my confidence as an artist, why I’ve continued using it, and how it has become one of the most passive income streams in my art practice.</p><p>I also discuss what surprised me most about working with Saatchi Art, including respectful communication from curators, special project opportunities, and how my work has even been selected for hospitality and hotel projects.</p><p>If you’re an artist wondering whether online art ma...
