Creative Thursday with MarisaAuthor: Marisa Anne Cummings
Marisa Anne Cummings, a Los Angeles based artist author entrepreneur, actually started the Creative Thursday podcast in 2006. What? what! how is that even possible? And yes! she wishes she had kept it going after all these years. Yet as a small business owner, maybe you can relate? choices needed to be made, and a passion for painting and continuing to build her art business became her focus. Cut to over a decade later, armed with SO many more lessons learned, and a - can no longer be suppressed - desire to share them with you! Marisa is ready to make a return to one of the first creative mediums she loved, podcasting! Even more fired up than before, Marisa is looking forward to picking up where she left off on her creative journey through both - one her favorite things to do - having thoughtful, inspiring, keeping it real, conversations with fellow Creatives Business Owners along with offering her own perspective as an artist and entrepreneur, traversing this online world.

341 Artist Success Stories - From "I'm not an Artist" to Loving Marketing
Episode 341
Thursday, 19 June, 2025
What if you could go from doubting you're a "real artist" to actually getting excited about your weekly newsletter? In this inspiring Artist Success Stories episode, I'm sharing conversations with three incredible artists - Rochelle, Jessica, and Linda - who've transformed their creative practices and businesses over the past year. These aren't overnight success stories - they're real examples of what consistency and community can create. Meet the artists and discover: How Rochelle started growing her email list and now wakes up excited about her newsletter content Why Jessica calls planning "a container for freedom" and how she learned to love every mark in her art - even during the "ugly phase" How Linda shifted from economics to art and now believes in the possibilities available to her as she builds her art sales on the side The surprising mindset shift that helped these artists embrace marketing as relationship-building, not selling Why starting with friends and family as your first collectors is actually a strength, not a limitation The simple tracking system that helped one artist realize she'd accomplished WAY more than she thought Each of these artists started exactly where you might be now - questioning if they were "good enough," wondering if this could really work, and feeling overwhelmed by all the options. But they found their rhythm through consistency, community, and believing that small steps add up. The common threads? They all found safe, creative communities, committed to small daily actions, and learned that marketing is really just sharing the heart behind their work. Ready to write your own success story?
