About Tyran
Meet Tyran Schouten, a visual artist based in New York City. Specializing in figurative oil paintings and sculpture, Tyran’s work is a profound journey into the depths of the human spirit, aiming to inspire viewers to seek wholeness of heart, soul, and mind. Since graduating with a bachelor’s degree in fine art from Brigham Young University in 2016, Tyran has been actively shaping his artistic vision. You may have encountered his captivating pieces displayed prominently in Trader Joe’s locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Notably, Tyran’s talent was spotlighted on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints YouTube channel, where he shared insights into his experience painting his first outdoor public mural near Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. Through the masterful use of symbolism and visual metaphors, Tyran’s art invites us to connect deeply with our own personal values, encouraging moments of reflection, healing, and growth.

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. 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, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity 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: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living 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. 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

Stumbled and loved
☆☆☆☆☆
I stumbled on this podcast and loved the two I listened to. First a quick one on Social media with a guest speaker mostly in Instagram and then One on your art and Affirmation. Both great to listen too. Quick tips and to get you started and thinking differently. Now I have to figure out what to listen to podcasts on and try and figure out to “save” so I can listen to more.

Chelsea Artpreneur Studio · New York City
What’s the biggest bottleneck holding your art business back?
Maybe it feels like pricing. Maybe it’s finding the right collectors, choosing the right opportunities, or figuring out what deserves your attention next. Or maybe you can see 3 different directions your business could go, and you’re tired of guessing which one is right.
That’s what we’re working on at the Chelsea Artpreneur Studio, October 28–29 in New York City.
This isn’t a conference or another workshop where you leave with forty new ideas. I’m bringing together a small group of established artists for two days of hands-on strategy built around the actual problems you bring into the room. We’ll look at your business, figure out what’s really holding it back, make the decisions, and map out exactly what comes next.
You’ll also have a professional branding portrait session, plus plenty of time around the table with a small group of artists who take their businesses as seriously as you do.
You’ll leave knowing what’s actually holding your business back, what needs to change, and most of all, what to do next.
