The season of my art making is changing. June, for me, marks the beginning of a time of more reflection. My productivity lessens to take stock of where I am and where I might be going next. Now, I write more and paint less. I reflect more. I try to hold off from doing...

Today I am talking about how to scale up your art. What is the best way to go from making small to large art? I did it completely wrong, which caused me a lot of wasted time and money making mediocre paintings. So today, I want to share the one thing I didn't know...

How do you take your art, creative expertise, or teaching and show it to a lot more people? How do you attract an audience? In the beginning, I didn't know. I had to ask a ton of questions to create a business centered upon my art. Most of the answers I was looking...
