About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Miriam Schulman, Chief Inspiration Officer of The Inspiration Place. I inspire art-lovers to reconnect with their creativity, learn new skills and techniques, and profit from their art. After witnessing the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Rejecting the starving artist myth, my paintings have been seen on NBC, published in art magazines & home décor books, and collected worldwide. I’d love to invite you to check out one of my free resources for art lovers (of every passion level) at schulmanart.com/freebies

“A Wonderful Podcast”

“This is one of my favorite podcasts! I’m not an “artist” in the painting sense. I design and make jewelry. I am also in the older crowd (60s) so love a teacher that is closer in age to me and my life. This podcast is full of inspirations and information. It’s very easy to listen to. I’m a podcast junkie so love the fact that it is not long and drawn out but more to the point and doesn’t waste your time. You won’t regret listening to it!”
