Something just became official. Spazio Bianco gallery in Padua, Italy has acquired my work. I am still sitting with what that means. An Italian gallery. A space that has hosted some of the most serious contemporary artists in Europe. And now, a girl who spent a decade in corporate boardrooms before she trusted herself enough to pick up a brush full time. This does not happen without the decision to stop performing and start creating. I am documenting everything. The studio. The shipping. Padua. What it looks and feels like when a body of work finally lands somewhere it belongs. And I am looking for two or three brands who want to be part of that story, sponsors for the vlog who believe that the intersection of art, leadership and unapologetic ambition is exactly where their audience lives. If that is you, my DMs are open. Now, for this community specifically. You have been here watching this unfold in real time. The work, the pivots, the moments where I was not sure what came next. You saw it before anyone else did. And the women in here who have been doing the inner work alongside me, you already know what I am about to say. The acquisition did not make the work real. The decision to stop waiting for permission made the work real. That is not an art lesson. That is the whole thing. I will be sharing more inside here first before it goes anywhere else. Stay close. 🖤

Real talk for a second. Some of you are in this community building a creative life and identity from the ground up. Art is the work. The studio, the practice, the question of how to be seen as more than "hobbyist" - that's the daily terrain. Some of you are leading teams, running companies, sitting in boardrooms, and presence/leadership is the actual battlefield. Art might be where you go to remember who you are outside the title. Neither one is "further along." They're just different rooms. So, where are you right now? 1..🎨 Building my creative identity / practice :comment 🎨 2.👑 Leading, performing, and looking for presence beyond the title :comment 👑 3.🌓 Honestly... both, depending on the day : comment 🌓 Curious to see how this community actually splits. Drop your emoji below, and if you want, tell me one sentence on what "right now" looks like for you.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m glad to be here and part of this space with other creatives. I also wanted to ask does anyone know other good platforms or communities where artists can connect, share work, or even find opportunities? I’m trying to expand my network and would really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks in advance 🙏🎨

They have a business problem. And most entrepreneurs don't have a business problem. They have a creativity problem. I've spent years living in both worlds. As an artist, I learned how to create something from nothing. As a data and business professional, I learned how to build systems, make decisions under uncertainty, and create value. Eventually, I realized something: Artists and entrepreneurs are doing the same work. Both start with a blank page. Both face rejection. Both need courage. Both must communicate a vision nobody else can see yet. Both have to create before they feel ready. Yet we're often taught to separate these worlds. Art is "creative." Business is "strategic." I don't believe that. The most successful founders I know think like artists. And the most successful artists I know think like entrepreneurs. That's why I created Art & Entrepreneurship Belong Together. Inside, you'll learn: ✔ How artistic thinking becomes a business advantage ✔ Why creativity is a leadership skill ✔ How to stop treating your art like a hobby ✔ How to build confidence through action instead of waiting for inspiration ✔ The mindset shifts that help artists create opportunities instead of waiting for them This course isn't about becoming a millionaire overnight. It's about becoming the person who can create value, opportunity, and momentum consistently. Because whether you're building a company or building an artistic career: Your ability to create is your greatest asset. Go to the classroom section to access.

I have been taking a little creative break and got playful and experimented with oil and bold popart. Love it 💕 Some of you have been asking me about positioning yourself as artist. All I can say is you carry something other people need. You need to declare and articulate it. Try and fail fast. Experiment, iterate, repeat. What you need is mass. After a while you can use data and a statistic analysis for creating personas. Mine are female executives and tech founders. If you want to learn more I have a whole online course in the course section ✨
