an artist summer, the art studio build & hobbit life musings

CANDYcolored studio podcast episode 256: as a mother artist - summer is always that special time i look forward to spending with our family. i've learned that i always have a transition period lol - it's noisier and there's so much energy all the time. meanwhile, i'm super grateful for learning and growth at this time -- especially the invitation to ask questions in each area of life and to receive answers & direction for more learning. we delivered new work to the gallery (pando fine art) on park city main street. check out episode 257 for a very quick description and symbolism with these oil paintings. the art studio build is in full creation mode! this week we've got insulation, exterior metal siding as well as smooth stucco. i'm finalizing paint and wallpaper and need to decide on tile for the bathroom. immensely grateful for carl, who has been directing and organizing the entire project. it's been an incredible creative project to do together. there's some things that are familiar from building our home which is nice, but ultimately there are so many things to coordinate, decisions to be made --- and he's doing an amazing job. soo many thanks to carl as well as todd drennan (our architect), garry (our builder), mark roberts (my easel builder & designer), david dibble (artist with a similar easel), caden badger of apollo av (speaker magic) and all the amazing subs that have worked on our project. finally, i'll share some favorite quotes about hobbits from j. r. tolkein's book version of "the fellowship of the ring" - so many great things to ponder and consider. happy summer friend!!

investing in your art business with jessica libor of the creative heroine podcast

join jessica libor of the creative heroines podcast and myself as we talk about investing in your business. we discuss and share some wise investments you can make into your business as well as unregrettable investments we’ve personally made. when i began my art business, every bit of profit went right back into my business. there were grids to buy for art shows and fairs, paint to replenish and money to use to build and keep up a website. sometimes they were simple investments like books or medium sized investments like online courses. eventually, i could be more strategic as my income increased, i bought a nice camera, a car lol and now i’m building a studio in our front yard. there’s also the time and energy that you invest in your business and the priorities you keep. while jessica went to art school and i went to architecture school, we both agree that it’s important to follow your heart and find the path that’s best for you. even more important is to find gratitude within your unique path and to support other artists on their path. we all will have different goals and dreams for our art and it’s crucial to stay positive with other artists (and ourselves), to remember that there is room for all creatives and that the world needs your work and creativity.
