This week’s interview is with a muralist/surfboard artist who is living the RV lifestyle, artist Nicole Miller. Her artwork is solid, and her marketing efforts are on point, so it’s no wonder Nicole is making a great living as an artist even though she’s traveling around every couple of years to a new location. Yep, she’s starting over every time she and her husband (and 2 dogs) change locations, which means her clientele starts over.
How does she do it? By going out and meeting people in person through live painting (mostly). She doesn’t stay within the walls of her studio, or in her case an RV or rented storage unit. She goes out into the world and boldly creates in public.
How about, instead of creating art in the safety of your art space today, you take it outside? If the weather isn’t cooperating then take it into an indoor public space. Or message an event center about live painting at their next shindig. Or go live online while you paint! Anything to get you out and about, because you have to be creating anyway. Why not create with an audience?
Listen to this interview to hear how Nicole is doing it and I bet her results will talk you into it. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Nicole Miller.
