Starling - Time Is On Our Side
play

07/30/19 • 23 min

Artists develop over time and our relationship with that evolution takes patience and trust. This week we take a look at how time can develop or damage our evolution. Time as a construct, concept and idea is very interesting to me and you can find some links that I find inspirational about time on my Blog Page. You will also find the weekly playlist and a recap of the practices I recommend in that link or on my website, Starling Creative Living.

The Fear

The theme of fear is one artists have a longstanding relationship with. In this episode we look fear in the eye in order to build an understanding of it, so that it can support our creative practice, not damage it. If you want to check out the playlist I made to accompany the idea of fear click here: Fear Playlist

Starling - Enjoying The Process, Marketing & All
play

05/02/23 • 70 min

In this episode I share a little about my own process and what I have been up to since the last episode, almost a year ago. Hint, I have been focused on my work as an artist and preparing a path for my art to be shared. I invited my friend and marketing expert, Michelle Mercurio, on to discuss why generic marketing does not work for artists, or anyone really. We also talk about how I am working to reconcile my own issues with selling, sharing and overall offering my artwork to the marketplace.

I also announced that my new art shop is open at www.amymakesart.com and how I am hoping to find peace in the process of releasing these current works into the world.
