Sharing what I've learned from being a full-time artist for 10+ years.
From selling at art fairs to boosting online sales in your art business, my channel is packed with strategies and inspiration to help you make a living doing what you love - making and selling art!
In my early 20s (I'm 43 now), I started acrylic painting as a hobby and eventually as a way to manage stress from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects my joints. That journey led me to paint over 300 animals (cats are my favorite!) and turn my passion into a business.
I live in Kansas and have a home-based art studio, where I paint and make my own art prints. I sell my art at art fairs around the midwest and also online on my website and art marketplaces like Etsy and eBay.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your art business to the next level, you’ll find actionable advice here to save time, increase profits, and create a sustainable career.

Yesterday I had the honor of judging the art contest at the Cowley County Fair, and wow – the kids' artworks were so much fun! Many of the pieces I judged were created by artists in elementary school, and I couldn’t stop smiling at their creativity and bold colors.
I added a couple photos of my favorite pieces, along with a shot of the cows at the fair because, well… who can resist those cuties? 🐄🎨 It was such a fun day surrounded by art, animals, and so much local talent.
It was one of those days that reminded me why I love being part of the art world.

When life gives you a snail… hitch a ride!
Just finished this new painting of a chill little frog catching a lift the slow and steady way. The original is available, and I’ve got art prints too if you’d like to bring this guy home. 💚🐌

I don't usually share products through my community posts, but lately I've had a lot of you ask in the comments of different videos about how to power your booth if the event does not give you electricity. So here it is... I just wanted to give you all a heads up because of the Prime day sale Jackery power stations are 50% off! Such a good deal, and if you're looking for a way to power your entire booth, this is it! amzn.to/4kmPG17
Jackery is basically the best brand you can get. They come in smaller sizes too (if you don't have quite as many lights to plug-in. So make sure just to calculate all of your usage needs. I calculated mine using ChatGPT, made it super easy to figure out what size of battery I need :)
