Description
Laura and Nikki interview Laura's talented friend Miranda van den Heuvel. Miranda is an intuitive painter and creative life coach living in Luxembourg. The founder of Create and Connect, she loves to inspire change through creativity. As a life coach, she inspires people to go from reacting to creating their lives. As an artist, she likes to draw parallels between art and life which makes the process so much more fun, personal and valuable. Over the last 10 years, Miranda has developed life coaching retreats, taught in-person painting workshops, given a TEDx talk, developed online courses and painted hundreds of pieces of art. She also happens to speak seven languages, manage a full-time day job and is raising two boys at the same time. She is a great example of a Startist that does not let fear or procrastination keep them from making progress on their art biz. A couple of years ago, Miranda began offering commissions of her artwork. We know commissions can be a valuable source of income for many artists, but they come with their own set of challenges. After sharing her Startist story, Miranda provides helpful suggestions on the systems you can put in place to create a positive experience for both the artist and the collector. Be sure to download her free art commission questionnaire listed in the show note resources.
