    So cool! A church building? šŸ‘
    How fun to have a space that has good energy, that is a blank canvas that can be used for anything you want with no pressure to make it happen now! That would be a dream! If I had something like that, I’d turn it into an art center and try to get grants so kids could enjoy the bliss of creativityšŸ‘ and offer art classes to adults .

    Inspiring without the overwhelm
    I have listened to every one of Stacie’s episodes, and each time I come away inspired and with ideas that I can implement.
  • Momma-Jen
    Inspiring every time
    I always lean on Staci to lift me up when I’m feeling stuck emotionally or creatively. I leave every episode feeling empowered, like I can do this! She’s so down-to-earth, passionate, and truly committed to helping others succeed. Staci never holds back—everything she shares comes straight from the heart, and it shows.

    Artfully inspiring
    I really enjoy Stacieā€˜s podcast! I feel like I learn a lot each time and it is helpful information. Not a lot of fluff. Her experiences and the experiences of others that she brings to the podcast are informative and interesting. She gives me hope that I can someday make money using my artistic talents. Thank you, Stacie. You and your team are doing a great job.

  • TeachingArtist
    Wish I’d known to Listen to this Podcast Sooner!
    These episodes are gems! I’m not exactly in business at this point, but maybe I would be if I’d heard these when they first came out! Stacie is so down to earth, and knows how to rally her listeners. I’m excited about the possibilities of moving ahead with a dream or two or three. I anticipate listening to each episode multiple times for layers of wisdom, inspiration, insight, and motivation from Stacie and her guests.

    Thank you, Stacie!! ā¤ļø
    What I appreciate the most about Stacie’s approach to art coaching, and a frequent highlight of her Art + Audience podcast, is the grace she offers, through her own first-hand experiences, for when things aren’t quite going the way we’ve hoped in our art businesses. From harnessing procrastination in a productive way, to the need for rest & reset to combat burnout, to taking mistakes in stride and learning from them, Stacie is like the best friend we never knew we needed on our art journeys.

    Bite sized but packs a punch!
    I’m a working illustrator and surface designer grappling w what to do next. Stacie is so breezy and joyful in her conversations. She speaks to the beginner as well as a seasoned professional. I am of the mind that I can always learn more and I am always learning something new with her! My fav part is that she is joyful with it and not so serious. Art is a luxury to make and to take in. Thanks for giving commercial art such appreciation!

I love how you describe your wins and pivots and how you have had to go easy on yourself sometimes- you are quite the role model!!!!šŸ¤šŸ©·

  • Felt that
    Inspiring and motivating
    Especially liked the podcast on procrastination, I think there’s a lot of helpful and wise words within that podcast. If you can to have a hard time focusing and everyone who does everything it feels like you do nothing this is a great one to listen to. Sound quality is a little odd at first a little choppy, but well worth it

    Inside Insight Into Stacie’s Mind

    Little Treasures
    Stacie brings straight forward advice and stories from her own experiences along with interviews with other artists. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I feel like she is talking to me personally. It’s especially helpful to hear how Stacie or another artist takes a challenge and turns it into an opportunity or a lesson learned. Life isn’t easy and making a living from your art isn’t easy. The Art + Audience podcast is like a treasure map for artists in every stage of their business to help navigate the challenges along the way.

    So relatable and full of useful info
    I discovered Stacie a few months ago and I have been an avid listener ever since! It's been a longtime dream of mine to license my artwork and Stacie is such an inspiration with her down-to-earth way of discussing the industry as well as giving really useful advice. She is no gate keeper and I can tell she has a heart for helping other artists. Stacie also brings on some super interesting guests. Thank you Stacie, for all you do.

    What if?
    Your first episode spoke to me, because I’m slowly getting my business started and I have asked myself a lot of ā€œwhat ifā€ failure type of questions. I appreciate your transparency and positivity with your own experiences. So no more what if I fail, instead, what if I succeed? Thanks for sharing your story. 🩷

    Not only do I love this Podcast! I was a podcast listener for a long time before this. I became a Leverage Your Art student last year with Stacie Bloomfield and having a podcast of Stacie’s to listen to is just the cherry on top! Not only is it heartfelt, but it is raw and real experiences of Artists that want to share with others everywhere! Thank you Art + Audience!

    Since starting Stacie’s podcast (originally found her on IG) I look forward every month to new podcasts. She’s got a great story of how she started in the art business and how much she’s grown. She’s an inspiration for me as a new mom looking to take control of my own career in the art world.

    What Every Artist Needs!
    I’ve been following Stacie for a year. Prior to learning about her, I was struggling on my own art journey and desperately needed some guidance on how to manage my time and leverage my art in ways that could be fulfilling and profitable. Stacie and her guests graciously share how they push through doubt, fear, paralysis, and failure that plagues so many creatives. By adopting a mindset of positivity and authenticity we can become who we are truly meant to be, reach goals, and make our big dreams come true!
