A NOTE FROM ANNA
This is the resource I wish I had when I was just starting this journey.
It is an ode to my past self, to the version of me that dreamed of turning my passion into a business but had no idea where to begin.
MY STORY
The path to becoming a full-time artist can feel incredibly lonely. So much is unspoken. So much is left out of the conversation.
I spent years trying to understand what it really takes to build a creative life. One that allows you to keep who you are and your work at the center. Somewhere along the way, I became deeply committed to finding a system that actually supports us. One that honors the way we work and create.
It took me nine years of trial and error, reflection, and rebuilding to reach a place where my creative business finally felt aligned and sustainable.
In the beginning, I tried to follow the rules. But the traditional business models were disconnecting me from my art, from my vision
They pushed me into strategies that felt forced and out of touch with how I naturally create. I was acting from a place of pressure and external input. But after a while, I understood that as an artist, my way of working was different from what the patriarchal capitalist system was designed for. I understood that for my business to thrive, it had to work for me, first and foremost.
I realized that as artists, we are the blueprint.
So I questioned everything. And through that process, I created a system to help artists design their own.
A way of building a business that is true to who you are, how you work, and your creative vision.
A business that is built from the center.
This is more than an online course. It is a guide built from everything I have learned over the years.
It is where I share my story, my process, the lessons I have learned, and the tools that allowed me to build a life as a full-time artist.
This guide is my way of honoring that journey, using my lessons, struggles, and breakthroughs as a positive force for my community.
My hope is that it gives you the clarity and courage to build something that reflects your truth, supports your creativity, and grows with you.
Because business can be a creative practice. It can be a space that protects your passion, expands your vision, and sustains your voice.
It can support the life you are meant to live. A life where your work is seen, valued, and shared.
You do not have to choose between making art and making a living. You were never meant to choose. You are meant for both.
