Creative Thursday with Marisa

Marisa Anne Cummings

Marisa Anne Cummings, a Los Angeles based artist + author + entrepreneur, actually started the Creative Thursday podcast in 2006. What? what! how is that even possible? And yes! she wishes she had kept it going after all these years. Yet as a small business owner, maybe you can relate? choices needed to be made, and a passion for painting and continuing to build her art business became her focus. Cut to over a decade later, armed with SO many more lessons learned, and a - can no longer be

301 I just Want to Feel Like an Artist Again

2023/02/02

Should this podcast stay or should it go? Inspired by a variety of conversations with creatives I had at the start of this new year, the response to a spontaneous instagram post I created that is now my most liked post of ALL TIME, celebrating the 300th CT episode, all coinciding with a BIG birthday in just 2 days - I'm assessing next steps personally, professionally and specifically with this Creative Thursday podcast. Let's just say the lens through which I'm choosing to Mentor and Coach is

How do you go from owning that you’re ready to be an Artist to having your career as an Artist support you in owning a house in France? Yes it’s possible! But first...when setting out to accomplish your dreams Ask yourself if you’re taking advice from people who are living what you want to live? Or listening to people who tell you, you can’t accomplish your dreams versus the ones who tell you, you can? We're celebrating 300 episodes today and since the original mission of the Creative

299 How to Wrap Up 2022 + Get Ready for 2023!

Creative Thursday with Marisa ·

2023/01/05

Do you have a special ritual or practice to close out the past year, to welcome in the new year, besides clinking glasses filled with your favorite sparkling beverage at the strike of midnight. In years past, right after my new year's toast, maybe I picked a word for the year, but I usually raced from one year right into the next, never pausing to reflect and assess, and thoughtfully bring what I learned and appreciated into my dreams and plans for the next 12 months and beyond.

2022/12/29

The tradition continues for the 3rd year in a row! I'm back with my 2022 year in review. At the close of each year, I share a behind-the-scenes studio wrap-up of what worked and what didn't when it came to my art practice and my creative business. How did my work impact my personal life and this year especially how did my personal life impact my business? One of the most challenging years filled with a new level of growing pains plus the emotional and physical pains left over from a

What's your go-to when you're just not feeling inspired? How do you get back into that Creative flow? In today's episode, I share a story about a recent experience that I almost talked myself out of multiple times, which ended up being a game changer for me on so many levels, from learning new skills to, to future business opportunities to energizing my Creativity flow even more! Because, as you may know, I've been painting up a storm this month and have never been so excited to making Art

Is prioritizing creativity on your list again for 2023? or is it just me 😉 (actually this year was pretty decent for me because I used the tip I'm sharing with you here more than I thought I'd have time for) How'd it go this year for you? Did you feel like you made time for Art making the way you wanted to? If you're feeling like it's challenging to summon that creative muse, this is my best tip for kickstarting creativity.

2022/12/01

My planning practice, or rather my planning obsession, has reached a new level and I've got a brand new tip to share with you in this episode. Inspired by another new love for project management - something that before my business started to grow to include a team that I had no idea "was a thing" - this planning tip is good for both using pen (preferably markers!) + paper and digital. I’m also celebrating the release of the brand new 2nd edition limited edition 2023 creative planner, which is

294 Why I Don't Recommend Selling in Collections

Creative Thursday with Marisa ·

2022/11/17

Are you feeling frustrated that you aren't getting any traction in marketing and consistently selling your work? This might be why... Not all marketing trends are the best strategy, especially for Artists starting out. With a new "Art expert" popping into my social media feed every other day, there's more noise than ever out there with a million and one recommendations and marketing strategies to try, one of which is the trend that encourages selling work in Collections.

2022/11/10

In almost 300 episodes I haven't shared EXACTLY how I started my Art business, how is that possible? The truth is that business owners can get so distracted by shiny squirrel syndrome (listen to this previous podcast episode no.) and all the latest marketing strategies, that we can miss the most obvious one that's right in front of us, and forgetting to stay focused on what works (easily!) and double down on doing more of that. Exhibit A - me, Marisa right here mentoring you and forgetting to

Sharing inspiration from your fellow Creatives with Artist Success Stories with you in today's episode with 4 guest Artists and Expansive Artist members. My favorite kind of conversations to have ~ as we do! we touch upon a lot of topics on this journey of an Artist: how the decision to stick to a higher price resulted in a loyal collector why the work of the Artist is equal to the work of a health practitioner how to make time for what you want even when you have a full-time job and are raising

291 How do I Know I’m ready to Sell my Art

Creative Thursday with Marisa ·

2022/10/06

Who decides when you're ready? Is it you? Is it an Art teacher or Gallery owner? Is it your family, your partner? Is it the inner critic living in your mind? (You know that one that's not always the most supportive...) One of the most common objections I hear from Artists starting out is that they don't feel "ready" to sell their work. While it's an important question to ask ~depending upon the answer, it can also be one more very logical "excuse" (I mean reason) that can keep us from fulfilling

Have you ever wondered how Art gets chosen for TV + film? As an Artist whose work is featured in the 2nd highest grossing feature film of all time, The Avengers Endgame, I'm going to break it all down for you in this episode. It's not just because I live in Los Angeles that my Art has found its way onto countless walls in both film and tv over the years (although it does help!)

Are you frustrated with all the changes? Do you find the resistance creeping in along with a wish to just keep things the same for a while, already! I see Artists coping with similar struggles over and over, and it doesn't help that there are also a lot of shifts happening all at once in the creative and online industries. If we want to keep following through on our plan, it's time for a different approach again. I've recognized an important shift you can make starting today that may help

Does posting to Social Media feel like a waste of time? Like it's getting harder and harder to be seen, let alone know if you're reaching your Ideal Collectors? There may be an important step you're missing, and an opportunity you haven't even considered, especially if you're just starting your business as an Emerging Artist. However, I've found that a lot of well-established Artists are also missing this incredible opportunity to get their work seen by the right people. In today's episode,

No one wants it to take an overnight hospital stay to be the wake-up call for you to learn an important lesson. But so be it. This is my personal story that doesn't veer far from my professional life. For too long I let fear and anxiety influence the way I chose to grow my Creative Business, and this is where it's time to make a new choice. The person who went into the hospital is not the same person who came out, and how I was running it will no longer be the way I will be running it going
