Curiosity is the heartbeat of creativity. Whether you’re an artist, a designer, or an admirer of art, curiosity drives us to explore, discover, and create. It’s what pushes us to ask “What if?” and invites us to step into the unknown with open minds and eager hearts. For artists, curiosity is a con
The holiday season is a time of giving, and what better way to share your love and appreciation than with the gift of art? Whether it’s a thoughtful painting that speaks to someone’s soul or a handcrafted ornament that brightens their tree, art has the power to create lasting memories and bring warm
When collecting art and designing our spaces, it’s important to think dimensionally. As any artist can tell you, the human eye and mind is pleased by variety and difference. A good artwork satisfies this by providing a pleasing variety of marks, shapes, and values. However, pairing art from multipl
A lot of people feel a bit out of their depth when it comes to buying abstract art for their home or office. While interior designers and art advisors can be valuable resources to help with this, I want you to feel empowered to select abstract art for your space and enjoy the process of collecting.
One of the most powerful lessons I ever learned was to see through my mind’s misconception about why I found certain paintings so appealing. I thought it was because the colors were beautiful and harmonious (and sure, that was true). But time and time again, I would select and mix a palette of gorge
A lot of artists have a hard time writing their artist email every couple of weeks or every month, despite the fact that it’s one of the best ways to generate income and foster a closer relationship with your community.

As artists, we are keenly aware of the multitude of other artists out there and the work that they’re doing. We see their work in the galleries where our work is exhibited, in our artist guilds and collectives, on social media and other online sources, and in art magazines. With all of this input, i
Summer is coming to a close. In fact, the kids may be back to school already where you live! I’ve always loved this time of year, even though it’s been years since I went “back to school” in the fall. This time of year is just about as powerful as the start of the year in January! Everything seems t
This summer I’ve been encouraging you to visit art exhibits no matter where your summer travels take you, whether you’re heading to the shore or overseas. I’ve highlighted some of the summer’s most exciting art exhibitions in New York City and Chicago. Today, I’m taking you to the mountains of North
Your travel collage kit will help you stay creative and productive while traveling, allowing you to capture and transform your summer experiences into beautiful collages. Rather than being derailed from your art practice, you’ll be racing back into your studio with your new inspiration in hand!
With Independence Day celebrations behind us, summer is in full swing. This is a big month for vacations and travel, and I hope that you’ll heed my advice to be sure to visit art exhibits no matter where your travels take you, from Antwerp to Anchorage to Australia and anywhere in between.
When summer hits, we’re ready for a fresh start: summer clothes that haven’t seen the light of day in about nine months, new travel adventures, hot weather drinks, and frozen treats that we weren’t in the mood for during the winter. You may be feeling that your art practice is also ready for some fr
Happy summer, friends! Does this summer find you itching for a road trip? Perhaps you already have some trips to various parts of the country—or the world—in the works for this summer. Either way, I want to suggest that you make visiting art exhibits a must-see in the cities and towns that you v
