with host artist Miriam Schulman
What if the real reason your art is not selling has nothing to do with the algorithm, collectors, or the economy? I have been noticing a pattern among artists that has less to do with marketing strategy and more to do with how we relate to selling and receiving money. In this conversation, I share the five archetypes I see most often in artists who feel stuck when it comes to art sales. Once you recognize these patterns, you can start to see where you might be subconsciously avoiding the moment of asking for the sale. Awareness is the first step toward changing how your art business grows.
“Nothing sells itself. It needs a sales mechanism.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Discover the five selling avoidance archetypes that often prevent artists from making art sales
- Explore the mindset patterns that make asking for the sale feel uncomfortable
- Create awareness around the beliefs that may be holding you back from receiving money for your art
“Sometimes the problem is not that you have a selling problem, but you have a receiving problem.” – Miriam Schulman

Polite artist, definitely, but I’m working on it! Panic, only because I don’t have a sales mechanism yet.
Building my website is very high on my list.
Thanks so much for this, I posted a comment on LinkedIn about how I’m currently building a collection kind of from scratch. After watching the video I would definitely sell a piece even though it’s meant for something bigger. Not a problem right now since I have nothing new to sell.
