    I really enjoy Andrea and her podcast. Something I really like about Andrea is how open and free she is with information. Often times artists keep tips, tricks and pricing to themselves because they have a scarcity mindset. It is refreshing to listen to someone with an abundance mindset

  • Down To earth sharing realness for artists

    Andrea is one of my very favorite podcasters, she seems so genuine and so freely offers so much great advice to other artists. I also love the way she mixes up the topics and guests for her podcasts, a great listen while I paint or driving in the car-thanks for all the interesting conversations :)

    SO much good information-it’s helped me so much in my art business. If she doesn’t know how to do it, she asks another artist. I learned the business side of art and how to continue to find out what I don’t know.
