Natalie now runs a successful 6 figure art business from her home studio and loves to openly share everything she has learnt with her fellow women creatives just like you.

My special guest on today’s episode is street artist Katie Wyer! Katie joined Art Biz A-Z at the start of 2022 and since that time has seen amazing growth in her art business. In this episode we chat about how Katie’s natural art making progress has enabled her to create her most authentic work. How nailing her audience and message helped her attract the right client and explode her business. And how she’s creating an art business around her life and family.
Katie is a beautiful woman whose art is in demand. Her message of female empowerment and individually is not only drawing clients to her but more importantly, she’s paving the way for a wonderful future for her daughters.You're going to enjoy today's episode.
About Katie
Katie always loved to draw & paint. As a child it was her escape from the noise of a household of eight to go into our paddocks & create. It was also her favourite time filler while traveling the world with her husband.
After having four children in five years & the time-poor years whilst they were all toddlers, she longed to put brush to paper without the stress of toddlers’ wandering hands getting into her oil paints or mediums.
For the last five years she has studied many different mediums in search of her artistic voice. With a background in photography, she absolutely adores light & portraits, capturing emotions within an image. Her true passion lies in connecting with her collectors through the emotions and messages that inspire her pieces.
