About Este
Esté MacLeod is a professional painter, designer and educator with work informed by the real and the imaginary.
Her background in textile and ceramic design is noticeable in the stylised, abundant and colourful forms used in still life, landscape and floral paintings. Esté is known for her altered and distorted floral and simplified plant shapes, painted in layered colours with added patterns, textures and mark making. Esté is inspired by nature, travel, thoughts and the changing seasons. Her artworks have an ethereal quality, conveying an intrinsic beauty, impression or special memory.
As a designer Esté collaborates with manufacturers and producers of textiles, wallpaper, homeware and paper products. She is regularly asked to teach at workshops and retreats and has been running her online courses since 2017 to inspire artists of all levels to broaden knowledge and expand art practices with her alternative and dynamic teaching methods. Esté is represented by galleries in the UK and elsewhere with limited edition prints and luxury silk scarves available from her website.
Esté holds a Higher Diploma in Textile Design, a post-degree Diploma in Fine Art Printmaking, a BA Honours in Ceramics and Glass (1st Class) and a Masters in Contemporary Jewellery Design. Born in South Africa, she moved to England in 1999 where she lives with her husband and teenage son in Berkshire.

About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. My forthcoming book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur, how to make money from your creativity is scheduled for release on January 31, 2023. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country. 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

I love Miriam’s podcast, she always has really interesting guests and every episode is jam packed with little nuggets that will help artists at any stage of their career! Thank you Miriam.
I’ve been in the art studio making some new videos, a whole 12-part series called: Artpreneur Affirmations. I took each chapter title in the book and made an art journal page out of each.
You can't buy this course separately!
If you want to get your hands on it, the ONLY way you can enjoy it is when you pre-order the book, Artpreneur.
When you order a paperback copy through this page, you'll get instant Access to a dozen mindset sessions designed to help you bust through your starving artist mindset blocks and get you thinking like an abundant artist…in ten minutes or less!🙏
Thank you for being part of my world!🧡🧡🧡
