The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast: From Passion to Profit

Day 1 of the Profitable Artist Summit reminded me why I love this work. From exploring trends with Vanessa to turning painted flowers into patterns, every talk was a gift. Here are my reflections on community, creativity and the business lessons I wish I’d known when I started.

In this reflective blog post, Delores looks back on her conversation with Kristen Chamberlain of City Mouse Art. Kristen explains how she turned a lay‑off into an opportunity to build a handmade digital art business, shares the importance of community support and reveals why every piece she creates is intentionally crafted without AI. It’s a nurturing reminder that slow, steady steps can lead to beautiful results.

The 2026 creative forecast invites a soft rebellion. Delores reflects on the calming off‑white hue Cloud Dancer, tactile textures, NeoDeco nostalgia and building sustainable rhythms. It’s a gentle, nurturing perspective for artists seeking depth and joy.

Greeting cards may seem simple, but they’ve become one of the most reliable and rewarding parts of my creative business. In this post, I’m sharing how they helped shape my art career—and how they could support yours, too.

Feel like your art is all over the place? You're not alone. In this reflective solo episode, I share what it really means to find your artistic voice — and how to build a cohesive body of work that opens creative doors.

 In this reflective episode of the Creative Juggle Joy podcast, Delores and Kaylie unpack the moment creativity starts to feel like business—and how to move forward mindfully, with joy.
