Hello! I am Michelle Lloyd founder of United ArtSpace, and I'm bringing you the Your Art Matters Podcast.
I believe there is a place for everyone in the art world, and it is possible at any stage and any age to bring your creative passions alive.
Every week, I will bring you a dose of inspiration, with thought-provoking and motivational conversation, so you can make art you love and turn what you love into a living.
So together, let's get motivated, inspired and make art!
