Hi everyone, Unfortunately, my daughter and I are currently at the hospital after an accident. It looks like her knee will likely need stitches, so she will be staying home from school this week while she recovers. Because of this, I need to postpone our Coffee Hour by one week. My sincere apologies to anyone who had arranged time off or adjusted their schedule to attend. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. I’ll keep you updated and look forward to seeing you all next week. Thank you for your support. ❤️ Valérie

Hey everyone, I’m looking to build something genuinely useful for artists in this community. I will do this alone or with other artist that have more experience in that area. Before I start creating anything, I’d rather hear from you than make assumptions. What’s your biggest challenge right now? It could be: - Finding time to create - Marketing yourself - Painting lessons - How to grow on Instagram - How to sell on eBay? - Pricing your work - Getting clients - Building an audience - Staying consistent & motivated - Imposter syndrome - Learning a specific skill - A plan from A to Z to sell art - Have access to a real art teacher with years of experience - More about the gallery business & how to get in - Finish a painting without overthinking every brush stroke - Improve drawing basics - Understand color mixing better - Build a simple weekly art habit - Something completely different… If I could wave a magic wand and solve one problem for you, what would you want it to be? The more specific, the better. I’m reading every response and looking for patterns so I can create something that actually helps instead of adding more noise. What’s the first thing that comes to mind?
