You’ve done all the “right” things.
You made space in your life—and your home—for your art. You set up a little office, got serious about your business name, made things official with the paperwork and the bank account. You even talked to an accountant. You’ve taken this seriously.
You’ve poured yourself into finding your artistic voice—your medium, your style, your subject matter. You’ve shown up on social media, maybe been in a gallery or two, tried a street fair, sold a few pieces here and there.
And still…
You’re not making a living.
Not even close.
And that hurts.
You wonder what’s wrong.
Is it your pricing? Your website? Your work?
You love painting—it feels like something you were meant to do. But now you’re starting to ask the scary questions:
“Will I ever be able to make this work?”
“Am I fooling myself?”
“Is it time to give up and just go back to the day job?”
I see you.
Because I was you.
I know that frustrating place where you’ve done everything you know to do, and it still feels like you're standing on the outside, looking in on “real” artists with successful careers. And I know the ache that comes from loving your gift deeply but not knowing how to turn it into something sustainable.
Here’s what I want you to know:
That place you’re in right now—it’s a crossroads. A choice point. One that many artists reach but few talk about.
You can keep trying the same path and hope it clicks...
Or you can pause, take a breath, and consider a new way forward—one that doesn’t require you to give up your dream, but invites you to redefine it.
That’s what I did.
I had to let go of the idea that there was only one way to be a “real artist.” I thought it meant galleries, representation, the traditional route. But that wasn’t my path. I had to open to something different—and when I did, everything changed.
Now, I create Personal Energy Portraits for clients across the country. It’s not what I expected when I started out—but it’s deeply fulfilling, financially supportive, and completely aligned with who I am.
I share this because I want you to know: you can do this too. Not by working harder, but by shifting your perspective, reconnecting with your purpose, and finding a way that works for you.
That’s why I created a supportive space for artists just like you—a place to explore new ways to grow your art business, build confidence, and finally start making a living doing what you love.
