Hi, I'm Miriam Schulman and I help artists develop their skills and profit from their passion through my online art classes, business coaching programs, and top-ranked podcast, The Inspiration Place.
I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn’t believe I could make a living at it. I skipped art school and went to work on Wall Street instead. Back in the 90’s you’d find me at the World Trade Center in my Ann Taylor suits, but after 911 happened, I took it as a sign from the universe and made art my full-time career.
Now, I help all artists (from absolute newbies to professionals) develop their skills, tap into their creativity, and grow thriving art businesses - so that they can have the time and freedom to create art and do what they love.

![Does the Supreme Court ⚖️ get to decide: WHAT IS ART?
This fall, the Supreme Court will 🧑⚖️ meet to decide if an Andy Warhol painting of Prince 🖼️ based on a photograph by Goldsmith violated copyright law.
Here are some of the facts: 💯
[FACT] ✅ In 1984, Goldsmith was paid $400 by Vanity Fair for a SINGLE USE license 📜 to use her photograph as the basis of a Warhol painting
[FACT] ✅ In 2016, Vanity Fair paid the Warhol Foundation $10,250 to use a *different* image from the Prince Series for the cover. But this time, Ms. Goldsmith received no 💵 money or credit.
[FACT] ✅ The Warhol Foundation sells paintings from this series for 6 figures, again no compensation to the artist
Here are the questions: 🤔
⁉️ Was she grossly underpaid in the first place?
⁉️ Is Ms Goldsmith entitled to additional 💲 compensation?
⁉️ Should the Supreme Court (who is trained in LAW) be the judges of 🎨 WHAT IS ART?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 💭
