127. How to Turn Your Art Practice Into a Business

A picture of Marcella Kriebel. She has red har and is wearing a blac kdress. Her art hangs in the background and she's sitting at a art desk.

Marcella Kriebel has always been an artist and foodie. She moved to Washington, DC in 2009 for an internship at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. While the Oregon native continues to live in the city, frequent visits to the Pacific Northwest and abroad keep creativity flowing. Her studio is located on the Arts Walk in the Brookland neighborhood of DC. She is the author of the illustrated cookbooks Mi Comida Latina and Comida Cubana. Both cookbooks feature over a hundred of Marcella’s favorite Latin American dishes captured in vibrant watercolor, ready to be explored.

In this episode, Marcella discussed how starting a daily art practice after being laid off from a job she loved led her to create her first cookbook. We discuss her Kickstarter campaign, how she gradually grew her art business, and the importance of in-person shows. She also discusses the pandemic’s impact and the transition from in-person to virtual workshops. Lastly, we discuss video tips for courses, finding printers for your products, and what’s going on with her store in Brookland.

    Wow! Wonderful interview! Many thanks! Articulate Marcella, and thoughtful Nache. Enjoyed it and found it very useful. Lots of laughter, which we can all use!

    My work is similar to Marcella’s. She inspires me! I am currently designing a “Watercolor Meditation” class in late June for a Meditation Center. Would love to tell you about it sometime.
    Peace.
