Do you ever struggle with self-doubt or fear when sharing your work with the world?

In this week’s episode of Art Crush, British artist Fi Marks and Canadian artist Paula Telizyn sit down to unpack the true source of artistic confidence: knowing exactly what you are trying to say.

Navigating the art business as a female artist in 2026 comes with its own unique set of challenges, but Fi reveals how grounding your practice in a strong, clear message can completely change your trajectory.

We dive deep into the battle between creative fear and unshakeable confidence, exploring how creating art with deep intention transforms not only how your work is perceived by collectors and galleries, but how successful your art business ultimately becomes.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Overcoming Fear: Practical advice for pushing past the vulnerability of putting your work out there.
  • Art Business Success: How creating with purpose directly impacts your growth and sales as an artist in 2026.
