The Josie Lewis Show – Details, episodes & analysis

Today on The Josie Show we’re talking to Andrea Nelson, self described "watercolor artist and maker of things". Andrea has grown a massive social media presence (like, multi-millions) by guiding us on simple and fun projects. She is funny, warm, and invites us on an art adventure with her. In this conversation, we talk about her growth and evolution on social media, the growth of her business, and how she has 800 ideas before breakfast!  If you haven’t already encountered her (and who hasn't???), you are going to fall in love and meet your new art bestie.  

Find Andrea at @andrea.nelson.art on Instagram and TikTok.

I’ve got a real problem with social media lately.  I think it’s 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.

Join me as I discuss my troubles with clickbait and penguin videos!

My art sales are down.  My Christmas sales last year weren’t as great as they were previously. I’m hearing the same thing from a lot of artists and makers and even giant retailers.  There’s economic uncertainty and inflation that’s affecting spending.  But do I think I should pack it in and stop my art business? NO, I do not.  I still think 2023 is the best time to start, build, and grow your art business, and I don’t think it’s time to shrink back. Today on the Josie show I’ve got a few actions and mindsets that will help you in uncertain times.

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!
