4 NOV 2024 · Have you ever been rejected? It can be tough hearing no after no after no. Imagine being rejected 9 years in a row! This is what happened to the amazing artist Lloyd Lewis. He was rejected year after year when applying to be on Portrait Artist of The Year! Then, in the 10th application, he was accepted. We are going live on Monday to talk with Lloyd about this incredible journey of repeatedly applying and what it was like being on the show. We will dive into why he was so persistent, what he’s learnt from the rejections and experience, plus what’s next! You can watch Lloyd on Portrait Artist Of The Year series 11, episode 1 on Sky Arts or Now TV. You can learn more about Lloyd Lewis here: https://www.instagram.com/lloydlewisartist https://www.youtube.com/c/LloydLewisArtist To see the submitted artwork that was accepted in Portrait Artist Of The Year, click here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0BiQeGIJHB/?hl=en&img_index=1
22 OCT 2024 · I was doing an exercise with my 7 Keys students this week, where we challenged ourselves to ask, “What will life look like when I hit my big money goal, or 10x my dream?” I made a list of what I would be, do, and have, and it was amazing to see all the ways I would live my life. This got me thinking—why am I not doing this now? Yes, a lot of it comes down to money. But, sometimes we have a perception that we need money, time, or resources to make something happen, and a dream turns into a 10-year plan, when in fact, we can make it happen today! Or at least, we can start taking small baby steps now. The point is not to delay and wait for a day that may never come. That’s exactly what I’m talking about in today’s episode.
15 OCT 2024 · I was driving down the motorway/highway at 70 miles per hour on my way to the Lake District in the UK, along with hundreds of other drivers all driving at the same pace - wondering how on earth we all got to this point. If we stop to think about it, it's a speed that is pretty dangerous. You’re in a metal box, moving faster than our bodies were ever designed to go. Yet, most of us do this daily without a second thought. We become so used to it that our perception of danger fades away. This is a perfect example of tolerance. The first time you drove on the highway, it probably felt intimidating, right? But with time, you adjusted. Your tolerance level for that speed increased, and what once seemed risky is now just another part of how we commute. I then had a conversation with a friend about buying a second home. It was interesting to hear the tolerance levels as she spoke of all the many reasons why buying a second home would be problematic and difficult. This is what I talk about in today’s episode, how you can notice your tolerance levels and start increasing them.
8 OCT 2024 · Have you ever felt guilty as you are not making art on a regular basis? or, you didn’t post on social media for a while? Or, that you were doing so well with reading a book every week, and now you have stopped?? I think this pressure to be consistent all the time can put enormous pressure on us. Actually, I have huge periods where I am inconsistent, and it’s great! I talk about why in today’s episode.
9 SEP 2024 · Summer found us a few years ago at a time when she wasn’t sure why she just couldn’t seem to sell her art. She loved creating, that wasn’t an issue - but she was forever finding it difficult to make money doing what she loved. We are celebrating hard as just a few months Summer made the leap to full-time selling artist and makes more money now than when she was employed full time!!! She has built an incredible life, making money from what she loves. Summer took part in our 7 Keys program and that’s when she started to break through blocks and learn the next steps she needed take. Guess what, she doesn’t stick to the same subject matter either !! She paints all sorts of things - listen in to find out how she is able to do this. Despite all the crazy set backs, and she had a lot of those !! Listen to the full story now!

27 AUG 2024 · What does it mean to make a living from art? Does it mean pay the bills? Does it mean it has to come only from art sales? This is what I talk about in today’s episode.

19 AUG 2024 · My book Your Art Matters hit the number one best-seller list within 12 hours of releasing it! Firstly, thank you if you were one of the people who bought it - you helped make this happen!! I have been asked, how did you do it? If you are launching a book, selling art, or having an artwork in a public space that took a lot of work and you want people to know about it, then you need people. Fact. People are everything. I built a strong village of people around me during the whole book writing and marketing process. Now, I did create some fun activities during the launch of the book with prizes and made it fun - but ultimately, this only worked as there were a group of people who believed in me. This is where it all starts - growing your village. I talk about this in today’s episode, and we will be doing this together in my next FREE workshop: Make Art Your Living which starts on 2nd September.
16 AUG 2024 · This was a question that came in last week, and I receive this same question on a weekly basis. When you ask this question, it’s so broad - it’s like asking, how do I travel? There are so many answers depending on where you are and where you want to go. So, to answer this question, you must dig deeper under the surface. ‘You can’t be seen until you learn how to see’ - Seth Godin This is a quote from my new book, Your Art Matters, which explains it beautifully - we have to look inwards. I explain this in today’s podcast and also invite you to join our next free event: Make Art Your Living.

22 JUL 2024 · Should you stick to drawing one thing? Or creating art only using pencils? This is a topic that can make people really angry! I understand why because some people think that niching down artwork means focusing on one thing for the rest of your life and nothing else. But it doesn’t have to mean that. I saw someone share a post the other week saying, ‘DON’T NICHE YOUR ARTWORK’. This is such a broad statement that it really doesn’t mean anything. If you want to niche your art and become known for something specific, do it. If you don’t want to focus, you don’t have to. I talk more about this in today’s episode.
