In this inspiring episode, I sit down with abstract artist Alyson Borycki to talk about how she built a successful art business without a traditional art degree—and how she’s stayed true to her voice while navigating the highs and lows of creative entrepreneurship.


Alyson shares the mindset shifts that helped her pivot from a career in business and education to becoming a full-time artist, the strategies she used to gain traction online and in galleries, and how she’s working toward a more consistent and fulfilling studio practice.


We cover:




  • Her unconventional path into art after a personal transition in 2019




  • How she built her art career from scratch using online tools and shows




  • The organic way she formed gallery partnerships




  • Why maintaining a studio routine is key (and the reality of that struggle)




  • Tips for avoiding burnout while staying creatively aligned




  • The power of tuning into your surroundings for true inspiration




  • How she balances authenticity with smart business strategy




Whether you're self-taught or trained, just starting or mid-career, Alyson’s insights on building an art practice that feels grounded, intentional, and uniquely yours are not to be missed.
