Artists struggle a lot with the concept of niching, and I get it. Artists generally are free spirits and do not like the idea that they have to restrict their creative impulses. But in order to sell art and have a successful business, artists need to create a brand identity.
In this short episode, I play a recording from a workshop where I talked about what niching is actually good for, and when it IS and isn't important. I also talk about the two Josie Lewis brands, my art channel @josielewisart and my art biz channel, @the_Josie_show

By the end of last year, I was cashed out. I didn't have anything left and I was exhausted. I was experiencing all the symptoms of burn out, and I was really not sure what to do next. Slowly, over the past few months, I've been picking up the pieces and restoring my equilibrium. In this episode I share:

Welcome to this week's podcast. In this episode, I share my personal journey through the grief of losing a child 8 years ago this month and how art helped me heal and find hope again.
I discuss how art and flow were a powerful tool for processing and expressing emotions. I share my personal definition of grief, and talk about how grief changes over time. I also share how my perspective on hope has changed through my journey, and how I now understand that it's not about the events that may occur in my life, but about my ability to choose how to respond and find meaning in any situation.
This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss or is going through a difficult time. It's a reminder that grief is a process, and that there is hope and healing on the other side.
Thanks for listening, and remember that you are not alone.

Iâve got a real problem with social media lately. I think itâs an echo chamber that is not feeding us with the varied inputs and inspiration we need to be original and unique creators. The algorithm is extremely limited and dare I say, dangerous.

My art sales are down. My Christmas sales last year werenât as great as they were previously. Iâm hearing the same thing from a lot of artists and makers and even giant retailers.

Turns out the word "cathartic" doesn't mean exactly what I thought it did. It actually means poo. I don't often talk about poop, but when I do there's always a good metaphor!

If you make art, you are an artist. But some types of artists are content to dabble and enjoy the process for their own pleasure, and some types seek to share their work publicly, to communicate with other people and perhaps sell their work. Both types are amazing! Watch this video to figure out which type you are.
