with host artist Miriam Schulman
Pinterest isn’t where artists go to get inspired. It’s where collectors and designers decide what their rooms will look like before they ever buy the art. In this conversation, I unpack three Pinterest trends that are quietly shaping art sales right now and explain why understanding the rooms your collectors are building can change how you position your work. This isn’t about chasing trends or changing your style. It’s about recognizing the environments where your art will live and seeing how that context can elevate its value. When you start thinking like a collector designing a space, you stop guessing what sells and start understanding where your work naturally belongs.
“Pinterest isn’t where artists go to get inspired, it’s where collectors and designers decide what kinds of rooms they’re building next and which art belongs in them.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Discover why Pinterest reveals the environments collectors are building before they buy art
- Learn how the quiet luxury trend creates space for bold artwork to become the focal point
- Understand how biophilic design is influencing the types of art buyers want in their homes
“Your art has to belong in somebody’s story, not their color palette.” – Miriam Schulman

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.

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.
