#23—The Artist's Dilemma

Should you cater to an audience or create purely for yourself?

Every artist faces this question sooner or later. On one hand, making money often means making what people want. On the other, forcing yourself to create for trends can make your work feel hollow, and audiences can sense that.

In this podcast, we’ll explore what it really means to balance personal passion with public appeal. Can authentic art still sell? Does following your muse mean rejecting your audience? And how can you stay true to your creative voice while still finding collectors, viewers, or fans who resonate with it?

Let’s talk about authenticity, connection, and what it truly means to make art that matters, to you and to others.
