If you’re an artist who’s struggled until this point to turn your passion and your calling into a successful business, then you’re going to love the conversation I had with renowned artist Miriam Schulman.
After witnessing 9/11, Miriam had a wake-up call and decided to leave her job on Wall Street to become a full-time working artist. Since then, Miriam and her art have been featured in major publications including Forbes, The New York Times, What Women Create, Art of Man, Professional Artist, and Art Journaling.
Her artwork has also been featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Her forthcoming book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity is scheduled for release on January 31, 2023.
In addition to being a successful artist, Miriam is the founder of The Inspiration Place where she helps artists (from amateurs to professionals), develop their skills, tap into their creativity, and grow a successful art business.
She teaches her students through:
- online classes
- business coaching programs
- her internationally top-ranked podcast
Miriam has helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and achieve financial freedom by teaching them what it takes to go from so-so sales to consistent sales and even sold-out collections.
In today’s conversation, Miriam and I talk about:
- what holds people back from thriving as a professional artist
- why so many women “play small”
- the difference between “charm” and “prestige” pricing and how artists can apply these psychological principles when pricing their artwork
- Miriam’s “Passion to Profits” framework
- the Sleeping Beauty Complex and how it hurts entrepreneurs
…and so much more!
When she’s not working in her studio, Miriam splits her time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.
In addition to interviewing Miriam for my YouTube channel, I was recently a guest on Miriam’s “The Inspiration Place Podcast.” You can listen to our conversation here.
