TN174: The art of selling your art – With Cath Brew
The Time Is Now
07/13/20 • 50 min
Developing a sustainable, successful portable business as an artist brings some unique challenges. While many solopreneurs start with identifying a need and providing a solution, an artist’s business begins with a focus on themselves and their own self-expression. And for many people, art is a luxury, rather than an essential need.
Despite these challenges, it is possible to build a successful online and portable business as an artist, and by using the same approaches to marketing as more traditional businesses!
"As hard as it is to put myself out there consistently, I keep doing it because it simply brings results. "In this episode, artist Cath Brew explains how she found clarity of purpose and started her business, Drawn to a Story. As an illustrator and author, Cath brings to life what people feel but can't find the words to express. With a focus on Identity, Belonging and Expat Life, her work navigates around redressing the imbalance that 'otherness' creates.
Cath is the author of the book,’ Living Elsewhere’, where she illustrates in impactful images and short stories the highs and lows of life abroad.
Cath shares how thinking strategically about her purpose as an artist, being consistent in her marketing and listening to her clients has helped her grow her business, and how she has addressed the unique challenges facing artists in business.

Sundae Schneider-Bean is on a mission to help you make the most of your life abroad. She has so much experience and advice to share that we invited her back on the podcast for another episode. In this episode, she shares her three steps to career and life reinvention.
Sundae is an intercultural specialist and a solution-oriented coach. She’s a mother to third-culture kids and has lived overseas since 1998. She comes from the US and has lived in Switzerland, Burkina Faso and today lives in South Africa. She has helped individuals from over 40 countries go through transitions and change. Sundae also works with multinational companies and NGOs to support their employees. And of course, she has had to reinvent herself and has been through the journey a lot of expat partners are facing.
Glimpse on Sundae’s tips in this episode:
- Some of the major challenges with reinvention that expat partners have
“Expat partners feel something inside that says I want something more, but they can’t say it out loud as they feel guilty about feeling this way”
- How to define what you really want to do
“Knowing what you want is in your guts, it is in your body; not is your brain”.
- How to design an action plan
“When it feels almost too far to reach, but you want it so bad, that is when you know that you hit it”
- How to build resilience and the support system you need
“Reinvention is not comfortable; you need to really want it to go through with it.”
Sundae’s book recommendation:
Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live by Martha Beck
