As artists, we often focus on creativity in our work, but what about in how we run our businesses? While structure and strategy are essential, sometimes stepping outside the box and embracing the creative flow in unexpected ways can lead to incredible results. What I’m about to share may sound unconventional—even surprising to some—but I hope it inspires you to trust your own intuition in both art and business. Since Christmas, my life has taken an unexpected yet beautifully guided turn. I made the decision to leave the east coast island of Newfoundland, my home for 14 years, to move halfway across Canada and support my 92 year-old father after a sudden decline in his health. This transition is one of trust, love, and new beginnings. As part of this shift, I'll be taking a hiatus from my art for a while to help my father declutter and eventually sell his home. Rather than storing or shipping my paintings, I was inspired to launch a ‘Make Me An Offer’ Moving Sale, allowing Spirit to guide the right people to each piece. This was more than a sale; it was an intuitive, heart-led exchange—an opportunity for longtime fans to bring my work into their lives at a price they could afford, while others stepped forward to offer full value in deep support of my transition. A group of local religious sisters even bought three pieces at full price! To make this work, I committed to a full-on 5-week energetic push on my blog / newsletter, social media, with daily posts, videos, and more. It was a lot of work and stretched me in many ways. It caused me to grow, step outside of my comfort zones, and let go of my ego as I trusted the process and the flow of inspiration. The results have been astounding. In just two months, I’ve sold nearly all of my artwork, bringing in more than my net income from last year—and many years past. The decisions on where each painting went weren’t based on the amount of the offer, but on the guidance of my pendulum, making blind selections to ensure each piece landed where it was meant to be. Some of my smallest paintings sold for more than larger ones—each to the right person.The process has been liberating, abundant, and full of love & synchronicities—an affirmation that trusting the flow brings unimaginable blessings.

Hey Y'all! For those that attended yesterday's meeting the Formula with @Maria Brophy I got such positive feedback from all you kind souls to share one of my WINS ♥ I hosted my first art class Sunday, I have had people asking me to do these for some time. I have no formal teaching skills, I have lots of experience with talking to people and putting myself out there, but hosting and teaching was something new. I wrote this down in one of my MIT's to go for it. I had such a successful event I hope that my share may help inspire others to do so and give it a whirl. Immediately I had 6 people sign up, which was amazing, then half way through the week I lost 2, and now was down to 4 people. I have almost 500 people on my email list, and even sent out a second blast hoping to fill more slots. BUT it wasn't happening on the emails, and now here I am faced with a feeling of embarrassment of only having 4 show up and what would that say about my demand and skills. So I started texting like a Mad Woman lol! I think I must of sent out 30 some texts, I lost count, but all the sudden I was connecting just like I do in person when I'm out and about. I reached out to friends and past buyers and much to my surprise they were so happy and excited to join. Within 4 days I had increase my class from 4 to 11 people. WOW!! Where did all this magic come from, I would say it's from what Maria and Oliver have been instilling in us. I was brave, resourceful, and thought why not. Worst I would get was a No or just a no response. I even had others say sorry I can't this time but please keep me in mind for future dates. This is a bit of a long story to share for my win, but the class went amazing, we had so many laughs and good times. I followed up with all attendees and they want to do it again. The other greater feeling of joy came from when I got this feedback. "I had a blast, it was nice to be around other people. I never get to do that. I don't have friends. You did an amazing job! Can't wait for the next one. Thanks for today!" Now aside from I was creating art and filling each one of these souls with a piece of me, the bigger picture came into mind this is my WHY, and why I LOVE art.

I forgot to mention my Instagram Reel from the 7-day challenge led to someone buying a print from my website! Yay!😍✨️🎨‼️

I forgot to share that last week a collector of mine reached out saying she loves two paintings and I said I'll give it to her (she bought probably over 30k worth of art) still for the Christmas sale price. She was super happy and took 2 paintings for 5k in total. Literally didn't do much for that, this came just as a result for having done the work in the past and having built the relationship! :)
