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!
E231 | What Happens When Your Art Finds The Right People with Denise Couzens
When Your Art Finds The Right People
Have you ever held back the work that means the most to you because you weren't sure the world was ready for it?
In today's episode I'm joined by Denise Couzens, a member of our community, who shares the story of her first solo exhibition and the four year journey that led her there.
From £3 keyrings at a craft fair to a village hall in the Cotswolds where strangers stood in silence in front of her paintings and conversations were priceless.
Denise followed the advice of others for years, build a website, show up on social media, do do do and once Denise let go of all that and brought it back to CONNECTION. Everything changed.
This is a conversation about courage, connection and what happens when you finally share the work that really comes from you.

E230 | My Plan To Be Off Meta In 3 Years
My Plans To Leave Meta In Three Years
What do you do when you really don't like something but you're not quite ready to let it go?
In today's episode I'm sharing something I've been sitting with for a while. My decision to leave Meta in three years, why giving it a deadline has completely changed how I'm showing up there, and what I'm building in the meantime. If you've been feeling the weight of social media lately, this one will resonate.

E229 | Reinventing Yourself As An Artist
REINVENTING YOURSELF AS AN ARTIST
Have you ever felt like you can't settle as a creative? Like you keep moving between mediums, styles and ideas and you're not sure whether that's a strength or a sign that something's wrong?
In today's episode I'm talking about reinvention, why everything you've ever made is leading you somewhere, and how looking back has given me more clarity about where I'm going next than anything else could have. If you're in a season of change right now, this one is for you.
And if you want to go deeper, we have a free Standout Artist Masterclass on the 28th of September. Link below to sign up!
