025: Taking the Chance to Invest in Yourself as an Artist {Nikki Cade}

Mixed media artist, Nikki Cade, left her full-time job as a special education teacher in June of this year to pursue art full-time. Because she’d spent the last several years building an online following and customer base, she could quit her job when her art became more important than the teaching. It’s been six months since then and she loves it. Here Nikki talks about what it took to leave the full-time job, how she prepared herself mentally and financially for the transition, her path to freedom, and how she found her creative voice. Some things we talk about:  knowing when to leap how to transition from a full-time job to being a full-time maker making do with what you have (and creating success from wherever you're at) how to keep your own voice while imitating what's working for others sharing, and selling, your work online and tricks for building a powerful, effective brand

Nikki Cade: on staying true, sharing what's yours, and knowing when it's time

Nikki Cade is a mixed-media artist and the founder of the Creative Brunch Series. I'm such a fan of her work and was so excited to get a chance to interview her this week. Nikki is fairly new to the professional artist world, and it was great to get her perspective on how to grow a business and a following in this current digital age. She also busted some of every creative's favorite excuses, including not having enough time, not having enough space, not being able to find your voice, and not having a big enough following - showing that building your creative business takes dedication, grit, and generosity. There's so much to learn from Nikki - I think you'll love our conversation!
