✨ When You Know How to Cultivate a Collector Mentality 🎨🖼️


Hello Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

I received heartfelt and honest replies to last week's post, The One Collector Strategy: A Unique Enlightened Path for Artists, which resonated with many of you.

This week, inspired by the reader’s response to it, I’m following up with a new article:
👉 When You Know How to Cultivate a Collector Mentality

It builds on the core idea that you don’t need to market to the masses. You just need to connect with the right people—and that begins with one collector.

In this new post, I share reflections from two artists navigating the same questions many carry quietly. You'll also find clear, compassionate guidance for shifting your mindset from overwhelmed to focused and from stuck to steady.

Be well and take care. Peace out!
