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! ❤️ - - - - - #artistconsultant #artbusiness #artcareer #artbizcoach #artbiz #artboss #womeninbusinessrock #workingartist #workingartists #artmarketing #artistpromotion #creativebiz #techsavvyartist #artistandtechsavvy #creativebizowner #robenmarie #artandtechnology #techeducation #artmentor #womensupportingwomen #fempreneur #mycreativelife #craftybusiness #creativepreneurs #ilovecolors #colorfulartjoy #colorfulartist #colorjoy #collageartists #mixedmediartist

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. - - - - - - - - #artistconsultant #artbusiness #artcareer #artbizcoach #artbiz #artboss #womeninbusinessrock #workingartist #workingartists #artmarketing #artistpromotion #creativebiz #techsavvyartist #artistandtechsavvy #creativebizowner #robenmarie #artandtechnology #techeducation #artmentor #womensupportingwomen #fempreneur #mycreativelife #craftybusiness #creativepreneurs #collageart #collageartworks #ilovecolor #colorlovers #abstractcollage #paperartwork

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. - - - - - - - - #artistconsultant #theartofbusiness #artbusiness #artcareer #artbizcoach #artbiz #artboss #womeninbusinessrock #workingartist #workingartists #artmarketing #artistpromotion #creativebiz #techsavvyartist #artistandtechsavvy #creativebizowner #robenmarie #artandtechnology #techeducation #artmentor #womensupportingwomen #fempreneur #mycreativelife #craftybusiness #creativepreneurs #collageart #collageartworks #ilovecolor #colorlovers #igartists
