Description

In today’s episode, I sit down with abstract artist and mentor Carol MacConnell to talk about one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) ways to grow your art business—working with interior designers.


Carol shares:




  • How she started partnering with designers—and how you can too




  • Why custom commissions can be wildly profitable (and fun!)




  • What to watch out for when doing designer collaborations




  • How to market your work outside the gallery system




  • The mindset that’s helped her stay creative through decades of change




We also chat about staying grounded as an artist, handling imposter syndrome, and her experience as a creative with cochlear implants.
