From Side Project to Real Business: Why Investing in Your Art Business Changes Everything with Ruth Ander (#145)

In this episode, I’m joined by printmaker and teacher Ruth Ander, an artist who proves you don’t need a press, a studio, or a “proper setup” to make stunning work.We talk about how Ruth found printmaking, why she chose the path that felt right even when teachers told her not to, and how making at home gave her creative freedom.Ruth breaks down her process in a way that makes you want to clear off your kitchen table and start. Roll out a little paint. Pull a print. See what happens.But we also talk about what shifts when you decide your art is more than a side project. When you’re willing to invest time, energy, and resources into building something sustainable. When you move from hoping it works to treating it like it matters.Ruth shares what changed when she stopped holding back and started building her art course business with intention.Her free event Make Your Mark begins February 27, Register HERE and Hand Printing Happiness opens next week, WAITLIST!Say Hi to Ruth on InstagramIt only happens once a year - The remarkable FREE experience starts July 23rd!
