About this episode

Do you avoid posting about your art on Instagram because you just don’t know what to write? 

It’s a common issue for artists to feel overwhelmed about sharing the art they make on social media because it feels so draining. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal strategy for promoting art on Instagram in a way that feels authentic and energizing rather than a chore.

We'll explore the importance of staying connected to your art, the power of authenticity, and the benefits of consistent posting. I’ll break down my simple yet powerful three-point system that transforms social posting into a natural extension of your art practice. 

You'll learn how to build trust with your audience, enhance your creative journey, and turn Instagram into a tool that fuels your artistic growth.
