This week on My Art is My Voice, we’re talking about the real, unfiltered experience of being a full-time artist.

From farmers markets and art walks…

to gallery shows and festival rejections…

This is what it actually looks like to build a life in art.

We dive into:

– The ups and downs of selling at markets and shows

– Getting accepted into festivals… and rejected the next year

– The reality of building (and rebuilding) an art career

– The business skills no one tells you that you need

– The risks that come with different levels of success

– Why trying something new isn’t failure—it’s growth

– The emotional weight of feedback (and how not to carry it)

– The idea of trading problems… and why you probably wouldn’t

– Using AI as a tool in your art business

– The truth behind the 10,000 hours of mastery

– Finding meaning in the small moments along the way

This episode is a reflection on years of living as working artists—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what keeps us showing up.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, your progress, or your place as an artist… this conversation is for you.
