🚨 Important Update for Everyone in the ART MONEY SUCCESS FREE Group 🚨 My dear friends: My Mastermind partner Oliver and I started this FREE space for artists 17 months ago - and it was a great place to connect and talk about art. But it has become a place full of spammers and noise, and quite frankly, I don’t want that for you or for me! We've moved our time entirely to the artists who have invested in our paid Mastermind Group, and I'd like to tell you more about that, but first.... Even though I've got 461 current members of this free group (and that's a lot!), I’ve made the very difficult decision to close it and put 100% of my focus on artists who are serious about building their careers — inside the thriving Art, Money Success MASTERMIND group. (Details here: https://www.skool.com/art-money-success-mastermind-6721/about ) I LOVE the Mastermind group, because every member is INVESTED in their art career, and it's where we have scintillating conversations about art, money, business and GROWTH. Today, ✅ we have 79 amazing members in the Mastermind✅ and if you are ready to INVEST in YOURSELF also, I'd love for YOU to join us! We cap it at 100 members at the current price - so that means there are only 21 spots left to lock in the founder’s rate — for life (after that, it jumps to $99/month). ✅ If you join in the next 48 hours, you’ll get a FREE 30-min 1:1 Game Plan Call with Coach Oliver to map out how you can sell more art and get to the next level. ⚡️ 48 hours until the bonus disappears.⚡️ 21 spots left before the price jumps forever. 👉 https://www.skool.com/art-money-success-mastermind-6721/about Drop your questions below - this free group stays alive for 48 more hours. I hope you'll join me on the "other side" in the Mastermind! 🎨✨– Maria

As artists, we often focus on creativity in our work, but what about in how we run our businesses? While structure and strategy are essential, sometimes stepping outside the box and embracing the creative flow in unexpected ways can lead to incredible results. What I’m about to share may sound unconventional—even surprising to some—but I hope it inspires you to trust your own intuition in both art and business. Since Christmas, my life has taken an unexpected yet beautifully guided turn. I made the decision to leave the east coast island of Newfoundland, my home for 14 years, to move halfway across Canada and support my 92 year-old father after a sudden decline in his health. This transition is one of trust, love, and new beginnings. As part of this shift, I'll be taking a hiatus from my art for a while to help my father declutter and eventually sell his home. Rather than storing or shipping my paintings, I was inspired to launch a ‘Make Me An Offer’ Moving Sale, allowing Spirit to guide the right people to each piece. This was more than a sale; it was an intuitive, heart-led exchange—an opportunity for longtime fans to bring my work into their lives at a price they could afford, while others stepped forward to offer full value in deep support of my transition. A group of local religious sisters even bought three pieces at full price! To make this work, I committed to a full-on 5-week energetic push on my blog / newsletter, social media, with daily posts, videos, and more. It was a lot of work and stretched me in many ways. It caused me to grow, step outside of my comfort zones, and let go of my ego as I trusted the process and the flow of inspiration. The results have been astounding. In just two months, I’ve sold nearly all of my artwork, bringing in more than my net income from last year—and many years past. The decisions on where each painting went weren’t based on the amount of the offer, but on the guidance of my pendulum, making blind selections to ensure each piece landed where it was meant to be. Some of my smallest paintings sold for more than larger ones—each to the right person.The process has been liberating, abundant, and full of love & synchronicities—an affirmation that trusting the flow brings unimaginable blessings.

7-Day Art Success Challenge Get clear on your vision, your why, your niche, and start building a path to sell your art! Day 1: Get Clear on What You Want & Why Task: - Write down your ultimate goal as an artist. Be specific. No vague answers like “I want to sell more art” or “I want to be successful.” - Instead, commit to a number: - Don't worry about how you’ll do it. Just commit to what you truly want. Motivation: Most artists fail because they don’t set clear goals. If you don’t know what you’re aiming for, how will you hit it? Declare it today! Getting CLEAR prevents Burn Out - and Changing Plans - because everytime you change your mind, because of doubt, you burn out. Doubt = burn out. To avoid Doubt, you can get clear on what and why you are doing this. And then stay on the path, even when doubt hits. Stay on it, don’t get off of it. This avoids burnout!
