  Why Knowing This One Thing Will Change How Confidently You Put Your Work Out There There’s a particular kind of fear that comes with putting yourself out there as a creative. Not just simply sharing your work but really putting it out there: into unfamiliar spaces, with people who don’t already know and love […]

  Is The Juice Worth The Squeeze? How To Know When To Quit And When To Keep Going I have asked myself this question more times than I can count. Should I quit? Should I stop? Is all of this effort actually worth it? And what I’ve learned over the years, from shutting down a […]

  I Wish I Was In Flow More. Then A Friend Asked Me Something I Wasn’t Expecting. I said it out loud a few weeks ago to my friend Sharon. I wish I was in flow more. I wish I had more abundance. More money. More of that feeling where everything is effortless and ideas […]

  What platform should I put my art on? I’ve been asked this question more times than I can count over the last 10 years. And right now, with more people online than ever and more noise than ever, it feels bigger and more pressing than it’s ever been. So let me share how I […]

  The last year has been turbulent. That’s probably the most honest word for it. I’ve been running United ArtSpace for ten years, and for six of those years I had a repeatable system that just worked. Launches, events, rinse and repeat. But something was different. The online world changed. I changed. And for the […]

  This weekend, I spent a few days at Ceramic Art London and honestly, it was one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave. For anyone who hasn’t heard of it before, it’s a huge ceramics show in London and such a brilliant event. I went with my friend Sharon, who […]
