Join me, Hayley Price, as I chat with Amy Marcy, a phenomenal resin artist who took the leap from a career in photography to fulfilling her artistic destiny. Amy's entrancing narrative will transport you from her days at a candy store to backpacking adventures, leading up to her enchanting sculptures that embody her deep connection with water and light. If you're looking for inspiration to chase your creative dreams, Amy's transformation is a stirring reminder of the joy and fulfillment that come from pursuing your passion with vigor.
Throughout our conversation, we traverse the winding path of artistic growth, exploring how both Amy and I discovered our voices by embracing experimentation. I recount my own journey from simple coastal art to a technique that captures the very soul of the ocean, emphasizing the courage it takes to grow and innovate. We also tackle the delicate dance between nurturing your craft and managing the business side of artistry, from the significance of platforms like Instagram for marketing to the true value of building a supportive artist community.
To wrap up, we share the realities of expanding an art business, discussing everything from the discipline needed to navigate challenges to the importance of seeking guidance through coaching. Our talk touches on the power of email newsletters in forging deeper connections with your audience, the excitement of collaborations such as Amy's project with Hard Rock Hotel International, and the adventures (and misadventures) of international shipping.
