Did you know Instagram is the perfect social media platform to tell your story in more detail and gain the trust of your followers. Here is a tip for making the most of it:
-
Share Photos of YOU!!! Most people’s top posts are photos of them, not their work. Let that sink in.
-
The truth is, in order for people to truly connect with the work you’re creating, they first have to know, like, trust, and understand its creator.
-
The more you let people into your life, the more they feel like you are a real human, not just a obscure business. When you can become a recognizable face, you’ll start to feel more like a friend and less like a salesperson. Step out of your comfort zone and in front of that lens!
-
This is also a peek at my new website, which is just about ready. I have plans for a giveaway, so hope you will help me celebrate!
-
Kudos to @23and9creative for her hard work and brilliant eye for design! ❤️

Here is a tip for making the most out of Instagram as an artist/maker:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Show Behind the Scenes! The life of an artist is fascinating. Believe me, people are interested in your process. Offering a glimpse behind the scenes creates a bond and a level of loyalty, while also giving you an opportunity to tell a meaningful story in your feed and your posts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you share a tour of your studio or a work-in-progress, you’ll be able to make more of connection and let people feel like they are part of your world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A Journey Home abstract collage
-
Ever ask yourself why you should share your art online because there are so many people out there doing the same thing?
-
We all interpret ideas and inspiration in a different way. Each of us favors different supplies, different colors, different techniques… the marks you make are unique to you, so don’t worry about blending into the background.
-
The more you share online, the more people will come to love your style. Be bold and stand out - show who you are and stay true to yourself.

A Quiet Place abstract collage
-
Q: How do I get out of a creative rut/block?
A: I stay focused and motivated by my love of experimentation. I am always open to adding new mediums, products and techniques to my work and love to find a unique spin on the tried and true. I love discovering a new skill set that I did not know I possessed. -
Trusting that what I am is “enough” and pushing through the doubt and dry spells that plaque every artist is what keeps me going season after season. -
I am increasingly aware that refilling with rest and quiet is one of the most motivating gifts you can give yourself when it comes to overcoming a creative block.
