#14 Art I Saved This Week

Hello all,

This week I draw attention to 10 artists I've been really excited by this year. I hope you find inspiration to take with you ❤️

If you enjoy this newsletter, I would love you to join the paid supporters who keep it running independently. Supporters get access to newsletter audio commentary, a quarterly update from me, and help bring new projects to life, continuing the work of supporting living artists.
I'm also opening up space for personalised art coaching with me. Spaces will be very limited, but I'll respond to every enquiry.

Let's talk about art ☕️❤️

I spend much of my time talking with artists, and over the years, I've been encouraged to open these conversations to those seeking guidance.

Being an artist often comes with a unique weight — the pull of an unwavering vision you’re determined to bring to life. But sometimes, that vision can blur, creativity feels blocked, or you’re unsure how to take the next step.

I know the weight of creative ambition and the frustration of feeling stuck. I’ve worked through my own blocks, founded three companies supporting artists, and grown an art community of over 1M people. I've found my conversations with artists are impactful and appreciated, and am very excited to offer coaching.

Art Prompt

This time of year is so often focused on resolutions, yet nature is in the depth of winter. When January comes, the world urges you to return, and it’s easy to feel the pressure to communicate constantly with others. In the final few days of the year, take a moment to create something reflective. Imagine a visual representation of three things: what you want to stop doing, what you want to continue doing, and what you want to start doing. Explore these themes in any medium, including words.

Thank you so much!

See you in the New Year 👋
