We talked about building a sustainable art business, ditching designer-thinking, and embracing the role of artist with pride. She shares how shifting her mindset around pricing, messaging, and email marketing helped her increase sales by 25%—even during a typically slow season. And yes, we did a full-on unboxing because I genuinely love her work (and paid for it!).
