061 How to make a living doing what you love with Michelle Lloyd | Your Art Matters

Your art matters and it's possible to make a living doing what you love!

This week Michelle Lloyd, founder of United ArtSpace joins UNLOCKED for a conversation on why Your Art Matters, how to unlock our potential and help us all to make a living doing what you love.

Following a challenging childhood, and being diagnosed with ADHD & Dyslexia, Michelle entered adulthood crippled with anxiety and depression. She went from job to job and always felt dissatisfied, worthless and unhappy. But eventually, she finally discovered the answers to why her brain felt totally inadequate and what she needed to do.

I adored being in a creative environment, and finally decided to take a sabbatical from work and become a full time art student. I spent 6 years exploring art and my voice, which also served as great therapy.

After graduating and applying for every job going and getting nowhere, she decided to open her own art studio and a place where artists came together to create art. United Artspace was born.

United Artspace has since grown into a 4,500+ community of art lovers from around the world and she helps people answer the question, how to make a living doing what you love.

In this episode, we UNLOCK...

• How to UNLOCK your full potential
• How to remove the barriers to fear and what holds you back from living the life you deserve
• Why your art matters and how you can make a living doing what you love

"I have worked with thousands of artists who said they were scared to put their work into the world. They were scared to call themselves an artist. They were terrified to sell and put a price on their work. Fast forward to today, these once terrified artists are now confidently making and selling work they are proud of."
