In this week’s episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I’m sitting down with muralist Lacey Hennessey to talk about how she went from painting coolers in college to building a full-time mural business. Lacey shares how she left her corporate job behind, fueled by a business-first mindset and smart use of social media to grow her audience and client base.
We chat about how she keeps everything organized with color-coded spreadsheets, why transparency online has been key to her success, and how vinyl murals became a game-changer for scaling her business. Lacey also dives into her “box system” for pricing murals and how she structures client conversations to save time and avoid endless revisions.
If you’re looking for practical tips to blend creativity with business and make a living as an artist, you’re going to love this episode with Lacey!
