321. How to Get Mural Work in a Small Town - Student Spotlight with Jessa Aber
06/10/24 • 52 min
This week’s episode is a coaching call with Artist Academy member Jessa Aber. She is one of the many artists I have met who are doing all the right things: sharing photos, making videos, pitching ideas, following up with potential customers, etc.
But even though her efforts are good, combined with working a full-time job, there’s little time to stretch past her current situation. Jessa lives in a very small town, surrounded by many tiny towns, which makes getting big, well-paid projects a very rare occasion, if at all. But not to worry, there are ways to make the most of your area and get those bigger projects by stepping out of your comfort zone. Listen to today’s episode to hear what I mean.
If you’d like to sign up for a 1-on-1 with me, you can do so within the ArtistAcademy.co. I offer these to members for a small fee at any time. Sometimes it helps to have someone experienced look at your business from the outside and tell you the exact next steps to take.
A mentor can see the future of your business more clearly than you can because they’ve already been where you are and have been through the hurdles to get to the other side. If you’re someone who could use some direction, I highly encourage you to seek out a mentor. Whether it’s me or someone who does the thing you want to do, it can make all the difference and get you to where you want to be faster.
Let me know what you think of this week’s sneak peek into a coaching call with Jessa Aber.

320: The Mural Process and Best Business Practices with Jolene Rose Russell
This week’s episode of the Artist Academy Podcast features muralist Jolene Rose Russell. Jolene’s professionalism stood out to me when I first spoke with her, and in this interview, we dive into how that trait trickles into her mural business.
There’s such a fine line between being creative yet professional, a free-spirited artist yet someone who shows up on time and does what they say they’re going to do. Jolene shares her best practices for going through the mural process to ensure both the customer and her creativity are satisfied.
This chat is a look into the daily best business practices that make up the back end of the painting the public sees on the wall. Jolene backs up her advice with stories of lessons learned (the hard way). Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Jolene Rose Russell.

322. Ana the Artist: A Young Muralist Making Waves
I’m declaring this week "Up-and-Coming Young Artist Week." I recently sat down with a couple of relatively new muralists who have a lot of spirit, and I think you’ll enjoy hearing their stories.
This episode features 23-year-old muralist Ana Gabriele Honsowetz, aka Ana the Artist. She shares her journey into full-time creativity and the hoops she has to jump through to make muraling a profitable career. Hearing that this young artist is making five figures per mural kind of blew me away. We chat about her pricing strategies and where exactly Ana is getting jobs within her community.
One of the main takeaways is how her outgoing personality gives her a leg up when pitching ideas. She has this "I’ll just figure it out" attitude that has really served her well. It’s fun to see someone following their passion early in life, even if it’s not the easiest route. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Ana the Artist.
