Description

What if your art business could grow through joy instead of hustle?


In this episode of The Art Coaching Club, host Hayley Price White sits down with Jen Carmiel, watercolor artist, illustrator, and founder of The Small Joys Club — a monthly art-and-letter membership inspiring people to find beauty in the little things.


Jen shares how she built a thriving, sustainable art business through watercolor painting, local art markets, and YouTube — all while working part-time. You’ll hear how she turned her creative ideas into consistent income, earned artist grants, and built a growing online community around authenticity and connection.


We cover:




  • How Jen grew The Small Joys Club from one subscriber to hundreds




  • Turning art markets into long-term collectors




  • Getting artist grants and local funding opportunities




  • Monetizing YouTube as an artist (and loving it!)




  • Why being a part-time artist can actually help your creativity thrive




  • The mindset shifts needed to build a joyful, sustainable business




If you’ve ever wondered how to grow your art career your way — this episode is full of inspiration and practical ideas you can start using today.
