From Blog to Business: The ArtSHINE Blog’s Journey to Empowering Creatives

In 2009, amidst the hustle and bustle of corporate life, a desire for something more meaningful stirred within me. Despite the comfort and stability of my job, I felt unfulfilled, yearning to break free from the confines of the corporate world and immerse myself in the realm of creativity. It was during this time of soul-searching that the idea for ArtSHINE was born.

With the unwavering support of my partner Stuart, I embarked on a journey to turn my passion for art and design into a platform that would not only inspire but also empower artists, designers, and creative professionals to pursue their dreams. Thus, ArtSHINE.com.au was born – initially conceived as a humble blog, but destined to become so much more.

Driven by a shared vision of helping individuals break free from the rat race and build thriving creative businesses, Stuart and I poured our hearts and souls into ArtSHINE. The blog served as a beacon of inspiration, offering insights, tips, and advice on navigating the creative industries and turning artistic passion into a sustainable career.

What began as a simple blog soon evolved into a comprehensive coaching and training program, as demand for guidance and support in the creative community grew. Today, ArtSHINE stands as an industry leader in coaching and training, dedicated to empowering artists and designers to commercialize their art and turn their creative visions into reality.
