Her bestselling book, *Artpreneur* (HarperCollins), now in its third printing, is a roadmap for creatives seeking to turn their artistic passions into thriving businesses.

As the founder and host of *The Inspiration Place* podcast—ranked in the top 0.5% globally with over 800,000 downloads—she shares her insights on creative entrepreneurship with a global audience spanning over 100 countries. Her advice on business and marketing has been featured in *Forbes*, *Entrepreneur*, and *The New York Times*, while her art has appeared on major TV shows like NBC’s *Parenthood* and the Amazon series *Hunters* with Al Pacino.
