On this episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I sat down with Colorado artist Maggie Sackmann, who’s built a thriving canvas art business while raising a toddler.
We talked about her leap from corporate life to full-time painting, why she releases quarterly collections, and how she prices her work in the $2,000–$3,000 range. Maggie also shared how framing boosted sales, how video content helped grow her audience, and the way she balances commissions with painting what she loves.
What stood out most was hearing how she makes it all work as a mom, the mindset shifts she’s made to treat art like a business, and the importance of sharing your story so collectors connect with you. I left this conversation inspired with ideas to try in my own art journey, and I think you will too.
