Teaching you to sell art is one thing; guiding you to sell your true self is another. That’s rare and that's the journey I've been on — away from the noise and celebrating uniqueness. It's not the easiest path, but it's incredibly rewarding, leading away from becoming a production house of sameness, and chasing your tail with trends.

With over 25 years of navigating this path, I've learned some invaluable lessons about the importance of staying true to our creative essence. I'm here to pass those lessons on to you, helping you find and express your own unique voice in a way that connects deeply with those who will love it most.

What does it take to go from Good to Great? In this episode I share my journey of burning bridges to find a better path. 

It’s not easy, but in my opinion worth the effort. Listen now to hear my stories and insights of when I was terrified to burn the bridge (especially when my gut was telling me I should, but there was NO PROOF that it was a good idea.) and how I've pursued the “good to great’ path.

In this podcast episode, I share my perspective on the importance of finding your 'why' in your art-making process. When we face challenges long the way - it's hard to know how to handle them without this insight. I use my own 'why' statement as an example and encourage you to do the same. This self-reflective process will help you stay motivated and aligned with your objectives when you encounter challenges or self-doubt. I believe that your WHY statement can fuel an unstoppable source of inspiration for a sustainable career in art.

#14 / Uncertain times in Art: Navigating unethical standards

In this episode, we're diving into a common feeling among artists: OVERWHELM! If you've ever found yourself scrolling through social media, comparing your work to others, feeling distracted by daily life, or just pulled in too many directions, this one's for you. 

I have personally battled with overwhelm being an introvert as well. Without getting a handle on overwhelm it can lead to creative burnout, where constant pressure and stress sap your energy and passion for making art. Being overwhelmed often means jumping from one idea to another, never really getting momentum - stagnating and developing your unique voice. What's even worse, overwhelm can erode your confidence, leading you to second-guess your artistic decisions instead of following your instincts. 

I'll share seven tips to help you cut through the noise, find your focus, and really start to develop that unique voice that's all yours. From identifying what truly matters to you, to embracing creative constraints and building a consistent exploration practice, these strategies are about making art on your terms and finding clarity amid chaos.

Teaching you to sell art is one thing; guiding you to sell your true self is another. That’s rare and that's the journey I've been on — away from the noise and celebrating uniqueness.

In this episode, I talk about the daunting, and repeating question – “Is my new art going to sell?”, Or “Is my art good enough to sell?”. Over my 20+ years of experience, the answers to this question lies in pricing strategies, silencing the inner critic, and how to create real demand (so we can avoid feast or famine). I share insights on how important market research can be to success and the pitfalls of the “Dunning–Kruger effect.

In this episode, I share my early dreams of becoming an artist and the challenges that came with it – and the struggles of navigating a path that many deemed unrealistic, leading her to explore a more conventional career. A surprising and significant turn in my career into product design opened my eyes to the marriage of creativity and business, forging a deeper exploration into how these worlds can coexist.

I hit a real turning point with personal challenges, prompting me to rethink my art goals and how to blend my passion with making a living. I found myself questioning how to create authentic art I actually really loved, and also sell it to those who would value it just as much as I did. This led to a profound breakthrough in my art and how to have sustainable growth in my art career.

Tune in for a candid look at the ups and downs, the lessons learned along the way, and the turning point that changed everything for me. This episode is a must-listen if you're seeking a path to make sellable art that feels like YOU too.

You are listening to the Sellable Art That Feels Like Me podcast with Michele Luminato. I'm really excited to share with you my journey of creating art that truly resonates with me and how it's translated into successful sales.

My goal in this podcast is to empower you with insights and strategies so that you too can confidently create and sell art that feels authentically you.  This podcast is for artists who wanna create their most authentic work that's uniquely theirs, and also sell it to people who love it and value it just as much as they do.

This podcast is about really finding that sweet spot between creating art that feels like you and selling it at your dream prices. We have a lot to talk about on this podcast. My goal is to share my story and the story of others to empower you to make sellable art that feels like you, too. 

 So, if all of this sounds interesting to you, stay tuned for more episodes, and if you enjoyed this, please share it with others.

In this episode, I dive deep into the often misunderstood topic of trends in the art industry. I share insights from my years as a trend researcher and color forecaster, highlighting the difference between “following” trends and “creating or predicting” them. If you’ve ever cringed when you hear the word “trends” - listen to this episode as I demystify what they mean to us as artists. It’s really good news for authentic artists!

This episode got pretty real. A personal life update and speaking TRUTH bombs again. After seeing a lot of stuff going on in the art world lately and – feeling like the art world has been lacking transparency and integrity. Today it made me question everything - is a doozy episode!

I openly share what I hope to see more of and what I want to avoid in my art journey. I would like to say a big (THANK YOU) to the galleries and representation that are doing it right! We need more of you as well.

Episode 01 - A Peek at What’s Coming  

Welcome to the first episode of Sellable Art That Feels Like Me, the podcast dedicated to artists who aspire to create their most authentic work and sell it to those who value it as much as they do. I'm your host Michele Luminato, and this episode will give you a peek into who this podcast is for and what’s coming on future episodes as your guide to finding the perfect balance between passion and profit in the art world.

In this episode, you’ll hear Insights from my experience spanning over 25 years including art school, design, product creation, trend and colour forecasting, my experience as a Contemporary Painter and selling art globally.

We'll talk about:

✔ How staying true to your unique artistic vision not only satisfies you but also attracts a more dedicated audience.

✔ Learning how to tap into your authentic essence as your greatest strength to create your best work.

✔ Strategies for maintaining a productive flow in the studio, overcoming creative blocks for good. You’ll know by the end of this episode if this podcast is for you!

Teaching you to sell art is one thing; guiding you to sell your true self is another. That’s rare and that's the journey I've been on — away from the noise and celebrating uniqueness. It's not the easiest path, but it's incredibly rewarding, leading away from becoming a production house of sameness, and chasing your tail with trends.

With over 25 years of navigating this path, I've learned some invaluable lessons about the importance of staying true to our creative essence. I'm here to pass those lessons on to you, helping you find and express your own unique voice in a way that connects deeply with those who will love it most.

#14 / Uncertain times in Art: Navigating unethical standards

In this episode, I confront the stigma surrounding the word 'selling' in the art world. I open up about my personal battle with the notion that selling art meant selling out – sharing my transformation from doubting my creative worth to confidently selling art that truly represents me. I challenge the myths that have held artists back, including the idea that great art must come from struggling, and hardship – and that making money from art is somehow wrong. This episode is about breaking free from limiting beliefs, finding joy in the creative process, and proudly making art that resonates with you as the artist first.

Whether you're an artist wrestling with the idea of selling your work or someone looking for inspiration to pursue your passion, this episode is a powerful reminder that your art has value, and selling it can be a true reflection of your authentic self – without compromising your integrity.
