This episode got pretty real. A personal life update and speaking TRUTH bombs again. After seeing a lot of stuff going on in the art world lately and – feeling like the art world has been lacking transparency and integrity. Today it made me question everything - is a doozy episode! I openly share what I hope to see more of and what I want to avoid in my art journey. I would like to say a big (THANK YOU) to the galleries and representation that are doing it right! We need more of you as well.  If this episode resonates with you do this next –  Join the OriginArt Waitlist to learn more about the OriginArt Method and working with me closer. ✔ Tap the + follow button to stay updated on future episodes released each week. ✔ Visit https://MicheleLuminatoStudio.com for additional resources and listen to more episodes. ✔ ️ Connect with me on Instagram @OriginArt_with_Michele to join the community of artists making authentic and sellable art. ✔ Watch a Video version of the Podcast on YouTube @MicheleLuminatoStudio ✔ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.  Thanks for Listening! Teaching you to sell art is one thing; guiding you to sell your true self is another. That’s rare and that's the journey I've been on — away from the noise and celebrating uniqueness. It's not the easiest path, but it's incredibly rewarding, leading away from becoming a production house of sameness, and chasing your tail with trends. With over 25 years of navigating this path, I've learned some invaluable lessons about the importance of staying true to our creative essence. I'm here to pass those lessons on to you, helping you find and express your own unique voice in a way that connects deeply with those who will love it most.
