A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

The Podcast.

I’m Laura - Artist, Teacher and Podcast Host.

If you are looking for honest conversations about what it takes to make art and grow a creative business - you are in the right place!

Often I chat with my husband, Richie (he’s a photographer) or else I soak up as much wisdom as I can from my incredible guests.

From finding your style to navigating social media, each episode is a blend of practical tips, relatable stories and gentle guidance.

Oh and plenty of laughs and examples of what not to do!!! Yep, we like to keep it real.

My biggest hope with this podcast is that it encourages you to take a little step each day towards your creative dreams.

P.S. I am still trying to convince my husband to let me put his photograph up here!

So Worth Your Time

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love listening to Laura and her husband talk about art and business. I love that Laura is so open about sharing her process and helpful tips and resources. As a newbie to the art world, it has helped me to know what to do first, and to not feel alone. Laura is so down to earth, and fun to listen to. It feels like sitting down and chatting with a friend. I haven’t missed an episode yet, and I don’t plan to.

My Favorite Podcast

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been listening to this podcast for at least six months, faithfully - every week waiting for it to come out and I’m not that way about any other podcast. Laura and her husband have put together a show that is at once, serious and lighthearted, smart and engaging and creatively so helpful. I am so grateful for Laura showing up and being so honest and transparent about her life as an artist owning a creative business. And don’t even get me started on her artist interviews!!! Every new one becomes my favorite! Keep up the good work, Laura!
