Is Social Media Making Your Art Bad???05 Apr 202300:18:42

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!

Art Sales are Down! What To Do in Uncertain Economic Times14 Mar 202300:13:32

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.

The REAL Meaning of Catharsis09 Mar 202300:08:00

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.

Do Artists REALLY Have to Niche????19 Mar 202400:14:46

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

6 Things I Did To Go Full Time As An Artist12 Dec 202200:06:33

I’ve always been an artist, but for years and years I was an artist  slash waitress. I think having a flexible job is KEY for creatives who  are passionate about making great work, establishing their voice,  exhibiting it to the world, and selling it.  All of that takes time,  energy, and creativity. I like to say that building a business as an  artist takes the same amount of creativity it took to make your art in  the first place.

What You NEED To Boost Your Creativity05 Dec 202200:07:07

One of the best ways to get more ideas, make more art, and get better at your art is, well, to work on your art!  As the slogan goes, “just do it”.  Get to your studio or your art table or your atelier and make.  The. Work.  As the brilliant quote goes “amateurs wait for inspiration. The rest of us show up and get to work." However, I have found that brilliant ideas and the fuel I need for my creative practice often happens AWAY from my studio.  In fact, there are 7 creativity boosting activities that I try to make a part of my life on a regular basis because they have been so powerful for my studio practice.

My Biggest Art Block Will Surprise You 01 Dec 202200:07:10

The most common block I experience is NOT running out of ideas, it’s  having too many ideas and getting paralyzed with indecision and  overwhelm.  That’s the nature of creativity and curiosity. Ideas lead to  more ideas.  With all these ideas, I easily get overwhelmed.  When I  have a number of ideas and no clear direction, it’s more likely that I  will TAKE NO ACTION AND BE COMPLETELY BLOCKED.  As my granny says, you  can’t ride two horses with one butt.  Or in my case, I want to ride a  whole herd of horses running in different directions.  Here's how I say  NO to all the options.

Like all good stories, mine starts with a complete disaster. After 8  years of art school and dedicated art making for years and years, I was done. I’d had it.

Just Do It! The Power of Showing Up Imperfectly12 Oct 202200:04:45

Something I have to do regularly is knowing things aren't perfect, and DOING IT ANYWAY.   I post the art, publish the blog post, and hit send on the video I made with messy hair.  Done is better than perfect, and I find that it is an actual discipline to make sure that I don't cycle down in perfectionism, and put the work I made out into the world.

Sharra Frank: Mosaic Artist Smashes Plates and Shocks Instagram27 Feb 202400:41:04

Sharra Frank has carved a unique space for herself in the world of art through beadwork and mosaics.  She has created original mosaics for countless public and private projects. She has also been truly ahead of the curve providing digital courses in mosaic back when you needed 30 plugins and coding skills to do it.


Dince most of her customers and fans were on Facebook, she didn’t pursue Instagram, until a video accidentally went viral in 2023.

In this episode, Sharra reveals how she:

  • Found the “Mosaic Obsessed” part of her brain, and never looked back.
  • Accidentally went viral on Instagram
  • Balances her social posting, art creating, mosaic teaching and sales roles
  • Manages being a homeschooling mom to 3 young kids while running a full time art business

I have been observing what successful artists do on Instagram, and I put all my favorite tools in this handy guide, “7 Habits of Successful Artist Instagrammers”.  It’s free.  Get it here.
