| 5/18/26 | ![]() Ep. 88 - Building an Art Shop Around Your Real Life | Running an online shop is not just making products. It is also shipping, inventory, product photos, emails, marketing, packaging, website updates, and trying to figure out how all of that fits into your actual life and energy level. In this episode, I’m talking about building a shop around the way you naturally work instead of forcing yourself into a business structure that constantly burns you out.

| 4/20/26 | ![]() Ep. 84 - How to Share Your Art on Socials Without Performing | At some point, sharing your work can start to feel like a performance. In this episode, I talk through why that happens and how you can shift it so it feels more like documenting your process instead of presenting it. If posting your work has been feeling heavier than it should, this is a way to rethink it. | — | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | ![]() Ep. 83 - The Neverending Creative List Loop | The same ideas keep showing up in your notebooks for a reason. In this episode, we talk about the creative list loop, why it happens, and how to take one idea off the page and actually try it without overcomplicating the process. | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | ![]() Ep. 82 - When Your Creative Taste Changes Faster Than Your Skills | There’s a point where your taste shifts and suddenly your work doesn’t feel like it’s keeping up.

| 3/23/26 | ![]() Episode 80 - When Selling Feels Like the Opposite of Making | There’s a point where selling your work starts to feel like it’s pulling you away from actually making it. In this episode, I talk through why that happens, why it’s not a personal failure, and how you can start to separate those two modes so they don’t compete with each other. If selling has been feeling heavy or off lately, this is a gentle reset. | — | ||||||
| 3/16/26 | ![]() Ep. 79 - Finding Words When You’re an Artist Who Thinks Visually | A lot of artists feel comfortable making their work… but the moment it’s time to write about it, everything suddenly feels harder. The piece is finished, the photo is ready, and then you open Instagram and that blank caption box just sits there staring at you.In this episode, I’m talking about why that happens and why it’s actually really common for artists who think visually. Most of us are thinking constantly while we work, but those thoughts don’t always show up as neat sentences. Translating visual thinking into words can feel awkward, exposed, or like you’re suddenly performing instead of just sharing your work.Writing about your work doesn’t have to feel like a separate skill you need to master. It can simply be another way of staying connected to your practice.Question for the week:When you look back at the last piece you made, what is one small moment from the process that you could put into words?Say hi on instagram @cookiereddingart | — | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | ![]() Ep. 78 - What Might the Next Stage of Experimentation Look Like in Your Art? | At a certain point in your art life, experimentation starts to change. In the beginning it often means trying everything. Over time it becomes more intentional. In this episode I talk about what that next stage can look like, from working with constraints to experimenting with your process instead of just materials. If your work has been feeling a little restless lately, this might be a sign that your experimentation is ready to shift too. | — | ||||||
| 3/2/26 | ![]() Ep. 77 - How You Hold Creative Ideas: Research, Parameters, and Letting the Work Evolve | How tightly are you holding your ideas right now? In this episode, I talk through the different ways artists work with ideas, from research-heavy planning to letting meaning emerge through making. We’ll look at how parameters form, why ideas are allowed to change, and how paying attention to your own process can bring more clarity than trying to get everything right at the start. This one’s about staying in conversation with your work and noticing what it needs from you right now. | — | ||||||
| 2/23/26 | ![]() Ep. 76 - Still Looking for Your Art Style? Let’s Talk About What That Actually Means | Still trying to figure out your artistic style and wondering why it hasn’t “clicked” yet? In this episode, we talk about what style actually is, why it rarely shows up all at once, and how it quietly forms while you’re already doing the work. This isn’t about forcing a look or chasing visual consistency for social media. It’s about paying attention to patterns, process, and the decisions you make over time. If you’ve been questioning your style or feeling like it should be clearer by now, this episode is a reminder that clarity comes from working, not waiting.Reflection prompts:What shows up more than once, even when you weren’t trying to repeat yourself? What decisions feel familiar across different pieces? What parts of the work feel like they belong together, even if the surface details change? | — | ||||||
| 2/16/26 | ![]() Ep. 75 - The Power of the Pause: Why Taking Breaks Can Boost Your Creativity | Pausing can feel risky when you’re a creative person. It can feel like losing momentum or falling behind. In this episode, I talk about why pauses aren’t a failure or a lack of motivation, but a necessary part of how creative work actually functions. We look at what a pause can really look like, why creativity doesn’t disappear when you slow down, and how stepping back can quietly change your relationship with your work. If you’ve been feeling tired, stuck, or pressured to keep producing, this one’s for you. | — | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | ![]() Ep. 74 - The Artist’s Timeline: How Your Creative Path Doesn’t Have to Follow a Linear Arc | If you’ve ever felt behind as an artist or like your path doesn’t look the way it’s “supposed” to, this episode is for you. We talk about why most creative lives aren’t linear, how detours and pauses are part of the process, and why progress isn’t always visible from the outside.This is a grounding conversation about letting go of comparison, moving at a pace that fits your real life, and trusting that your timeline doesn’t have to match anyone else’s to be valid. | — | ||||||
| 2/5/26 | ![]() Ep.73 - February Starts in the Art Studio | We made it to February! So, January was a bit of a slog (mostly thanks to snow, also thanks to some burnout) and now there's some action in the studio.

(or better...when should we sell our art?)Visit me on the website or on instagram. | — | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | ![]() Ep. 72 - Quiet in the Art Studio but... | It's still quiet in my art studio but....things are brewing.

| 1/5/26 | ![]() Ep. 70 - A Creative New Year? | New year…new creative year.

No pressure to reinvent myself. Just an honest check in on energy, time, capacity, and the kind of creative rhythm I want this year. Did you make a resolution?
