Resilience

Today’s episode is for everyone that was told you can’t make money doing what you love, especially as an artist. (I have a feeling this is the majority of us!) The myth of the starving artist is one of the biggest misconceptions there is about creativity. I was told my entire life that I could never make a living with my creative hobbies. But my guest today, Aimée Hoover, has made a successful career as an extraordinary fine artist for 20 years, painting contemporary portraits of animals. Her paintings are in collections all around the world, seen in galleries and exhibitions, and featured in countless magazine articles. In this episode, Aimée tells us how she accidentally stumbled upon her niche painting portraits of pets 20 years ago, built her business as a side hustle, and how she’s been able to sustain a long lasting career creating exactly what she loves to make. She talks about the point in her career when pleasing clients left her lost and burned out, and how she shut down a successful, profitable business to find joy in her work again. Aimée also shares how to build self confidence and resilience in your work, especially in this day of social media when it’s so easy to feel like you’re not good enough. You’ll also find out why I call Aimée a social media and marketing genius!   🌟 Listen to this episode on  Apple Podcasts. 🌟 Listen to this episode on  Spotify.   Thank you so much for listening.

Lesson 63 - BEST OF: Building Self Confidence and Resilience with Aimee Hoover

This week’s episode features California based wildlife artist, Aimee Hoover. I was so pleasantly surprised with how real Aimee is and how she showed up with such honest feedback in this interview. And I asked her all the questions like, “How do you get the majority of your sales?” and, “What are the processes behind her dynamic, realistic paintings?” She lets us know everything from where she gets her reference photos to how she gets collectors coming back time and time again to buy her art. We also dive in to her September 30 day challenge that she did for 4 consecutive years in a row. Every September she would complete a painting every single day for 30 days. If that sounds daunting, just know that you’re not alone. But also know that it is possible and the benefits that can come from committing to something like that, from showing up every single day and forming that habit, the benefits can drastically outweigh the inconvenience and Aimee lets us in on what it’s all about. Let me know what you think about this week’s episode with Aimee Hoover. www.aimeehoover.comwww.instagram.com/aimeehooverwww.artistacademy.co
