  • Your Creative Spark
    Aug 19 2024

    Art does change the world and you are one of those flames. You are the fuel for your own art and art is your fuel.

    The world inspires us and we transform those ideas and concepts and images into something new, which then creates more beauty in the world and more ideas and more thoughts and more change.

  • Positive & Negative Space in Art & Business
    Feb 11 2024

    Big 3 Ideas from this episode:

    • Negative and Positive Space help to define shapes and focus in art - and life.
    • The shape of your goals, career and business is created by the decisions you make - The constraints or freedoms you choose, and what you do and don't do.

    • Mostly we look at Positive Space - the shape we are creating. But … looking at the negative space gives us a new perspective on any situation, from art, to sales, to our vision for the future.

  • The Seeds of Your Creative Business
    Jan 22 2024

     Seeds hold profound symbolism and are often associated with concepts of growth, potential, and new beginnings.

    Inside every hard shell - including the one on our shoulders - is a world of knowledge that can guide you in your creative entrepreneurship, but sometimes you just need a little guidance.

    In this episode, art and business coach Shannon Borg talks about the symbolism of seeds, and about the art of Ai WeiWei, the Chinese activist artist who made an exhibit with 100 million porcelain sunflower seeds.

    Big 3 Ideas from this episode:

    • Thoughts are SEEDS that grow into Feelings, Actions, and Results.

    • What are your thoughts about your art? Do these thoughts help you make more work? Or keep you from creating?

    • Art Thoughts, Business Thoughts: Any thoughts you can have about your art, you can ALSO have about your business. You can love your business as much as you love your art by making a decision to cultivate thoughts that help you get there.
