with host artist Miriam Schulman
Today I’m talking to one of my clients who started her art career when her husband gifted her with art classes. She was hooked and decided to continue. She went to weekly classes and painted daily because she felt like she had to catch up with others. That was 20 years ago and she’s still creating.
In this podcast, you will discover…
Find out when Susan realized she was an artist.
I asked Susan to share how it felt to sell her first piece. She remembers the painting and the people who purchased it. We both agree that when a painting is framed and hung in its new home, it completes the creation cycle. It begins a new life.
Hear how Susan got her work into the LA Art show. It’s an amazing story. She realized her dream of having people experience the art and come back to see it again. She used a contest at the show to inspire new artists and as a result has made connections with other creators.
It’s never too late to start. Susan’s story will inspire you and help you see the power of your own dreams.

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. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur, how to make money from your creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.
