When I first learned you could make a living from your art, I thought, this is it, this is what I want to do!
And I figured that if people were teaching art, they’d also teach how to build a real business around it. Not just the art prompts and portfolio builders, but the real tips on how to make it work as a business.
But that part was always missing. Sometimes there’d be a few helpful tips, but never enough to pull the whole picture together. In some classes, the focus was so heavy on theory and mindset that I still had no idea what steps to take next.
I could see the dream art career I wanted, and I knew where I was starting from, but the information that I really needed to connect those dots? It wasn’t there, which meant I couldn’t shape a path that would actually get me to my goal.

I’m very selective about what I recommend — and I’m sharing this because it’s a course I’ve taken myself, found genuinely valuable, and believe could help you too.)
That’s why I’m happy to recommend this free workshop from Stacie Bloomfield, called The Profitable Art Blueprint.
I trust Stacie because I’ve seen how she teaches. I’ve gotten more practical, usable information from one of her course modules than I ever got from all the other courses I’d taken put together. She doesn’t just talk theory or mindset hacks — she shows you exactly how to make progress.
This workshop is a great example of that.
It starts by showing you what’s possible in an art career, then walks you through three frameworks to help you figure out which business model fits you best — licensing, products, or teaching and services.
From there, she shares her blueprint for building an art business step-by-step and talks honestly about the mindset challenges that can come up along the way.
The final lesson is a live zoom call on August 19th, so you can ask your own questions and get guidance directly from her in real time.

If you end up joining the Leverage Your Art course after the workshop through my link, I’ll also be hosting a group coaching session called the 10-Day Momentum Map.
It’s a 60-minute working call where we’ll sort through your ideas and to-dos, pick one focus that’s worth your energy right now, and map it into a simple plan you can work on over the next 10 days. By the time we wrap up, you’ll have a short, doable list for each day, a couple of quick wins to build momentum, and a clear reason why this focus will actually move your business forward.
It’s not about piling on more work — it’s about getting what’s already on your plate moving in the right direction.
And if you haven’t signed up for Stacie’s Profitable Art Blueprint yet, now’s the time. It’s free to watch until August 26th, and it’s the perfect clarity boost before we dive into the bigger work together.
