Hello, my art friends! How are you enjoying this summer? I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to. One of my favorite things about summer here in Denver, Colorado is the fact that there’s no snow! (Why I moved to Colorado when I don’t like the cold- I don’t know!) But right now everything is sunny, warm, and the flowers are blooming. I’m trying to soak up every bit of summer that I can because as soon as it starts cooling down I know winter isn’t long to come. So I’m getting outside more before this happens because I...Read More

When I decided to become an artist I realized very quickly that it required more than learning technical skills. So when I became an art teacher it’s no surprise that I wanted to help artists go beyond technical skills. I know for sure that it’s the artists that go deeper and find their voice that have more success, longevity, and fulfillment. I’ve seen too many artists have perfect technical skills, but stop creating because they never found their voice. I know firsthand how confusing it can be to find your artistic voice. When I went to art school I had...Read More

There’s a quote by Paulo Coelho (Author of The Alchemist) that I absolutely love. It goes: “When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.” If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading The Alchemist. This idea usually comes with images from stories and movies of someone who finally hits rock bottom. Their life is a dumpster fire and they finally turn it around. For most of us, the truth is that we are not going to totally wreck our lives to find ourselves. Why would we? Why all the...Read More

I've discovered that studying art online is the BEST way to develop the exact customized painting skills you want, and you can do just that starting TODAY!The pandemic in 2020 was awful and horrendous to say the least. One very small upside to it was seeing how artists and students pivoted to keep their art education going.When I started teaching online in 2018, I wondered if online teaching could be as good as in-person teaching for the student. After three years of teaching online, I found that it could actually be better for the student!Here’s my top 10 reasons why studying online is better...Read More

The number one easy way to increase your capacity to have more of anything you want!

Posted on June 30, 2021October 26, 2021 by Kelli Folsom

How much do you allow yourself to have? I’m not just asking about money or things. Though that’s part of it too. I’m also asking: What’s your capacity to have joy, peace of mind, creativity, recognition, support, beauty, love, intimacy, fun, or admiration? It’s amazing how much we can cut ourselves off from having the good things in life! Most of us have thoughts, habits, and beliefs that limit our quality of life. We’re not even aware of them. This has been a huge learning curve for me too and I’m still learning. Listen to me, this is HUGE. Ask...Read More

Let’s talk courage. Do you have it? One thing I’ve learned for sure over the last 10 years of trying to make a living as an artist is that it takes courage. Every day.

By the way, can we talk about baby...Read More

Selling your art online doesn’t have to be so hard.

Posted on June 16, 2021October 26, 2021 by Kelli Folsom

Are you ready for a challenge to double your painting sales online in 31 days? Are you tired of not selling paintings? Well, three years ago I was in your shoes too. It’s incredibly discouraging to have no one want your beautiful work. Picture it: September 2017. I’m sitting at my computer in my studio wondering what I could do to bring in some income. The six galleries I was in weren’t selling anything and had sold very little of my work the prior year. Two of them, including the Colorado gallery my work was in, had told me they...Read More
