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.
