I’ve been selling my art since 2017, because I want to spend my days making art and writing and adding beauty to the world. But it wasn’t until this year that I started to realize that if I wanted to make this my life, I have to actually learn to Do Business
So I guess this is my way to keep myself accountable. Here are my goals: 1. To make art for you, one way or another. 2. To transition all of my packaging to as plastic-free as possible (I’m almost there!!) 3. Figure out how to market (tips would be appreciated uwu) 4. Be kinder to myself
Just posted this sleepy babbey to my @redbubble (link in bio)! I’ve been loving watercolor recently, it takes the pressure off having to be good, and that makes it so much easier to create things I’m proud of⭐️ • • • #watercolor #redbubble #opossum #possum #trash #trashchild #wildlifeart #art #womeninillustration #queerartist #artistsoninstagram #yellow #garbage #traditionalart #pennsylvania # (at Lebanon County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRM6FE6nkKv/?utm_medium=tumblr
Doodled this in my sketchbook and I liked it so I tried my hand at scanning and fixing it up in #procreate! It came out all right but I have a long way to go before I have any idea what I’m doing Pomegranates make me feel closer to my Armenian roots. Sometimes it feels like I’m being held hostage by my own lack of knowledge about my ancestors, like if I could just know what they looked like, what they ate, their favorite hobbies and if they liked to read or write or draw or garden like I do, if they loved their dogs or sang while they sewed, I could feel like less of an outsider. In the meantime, I wait for pomegranate season.⭐️ • • • #pomegranate #blog #watercolor #mixedmedia #illustration #womeninillustration #armenian #sketchbook #sketch #doodle (at Lebanon County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwHsnmnl2l/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some people like their hair the best or their smile or the way their brains work but my favorite part of myself has to be my hands. So much beauty and pain and hard work and success and failure has happened because of them. I love the way they look and the way they manipulate the world around me. Sometimes it’s nice to stop and acknowledge the parts of you that are incredible, beautiful, useful things. • Anyway this was going to be a post about mushrooms but I guess say thank you to your hands today? • #art #blog #illustration #timelapse #mushroom #doodle #womeninillustration #etsyartist #artist #instaart #cottagecore #witch #artwitch #hands #tiktok #selflove #mentalhealth #internationalwomensmonth #queerartist (at Lebanon County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMF0figHhoX/?igshid=kq2u0q8cbx91

When I was a kid, I’d wake up at the crack of dawn, run to my little hallway office, bring out my pastels, and draw the sunrise from the window. It was something I did because I loved it, and recently I’ve needed that back in my life. • So much of being a freelance artist is creating to meet a deadline or create something you hope people will like enough to buy or follow or talk about, and sometimes it’s hard to fit what you love about art in the first place back into it. • So for my birthday the other day, I got up, grabbed my paints, and painted the sunrise out of my new little office, my rv. • Sometimes I have to remember to find time to reconnect with what gave me joy as an artist in the first place. I didn’t paint my first sunrises to get better or to sell. I did it because I thought they were beautiful, and I wanted to be a part of that beauty. • Anyway swipe for Young Rachael Artwork⭐️⭐️⭐️ • #art #pastel #acrylic #sunrise #birthday #pisces #piscesseason #thenandnow #beforeandafter #nostalgia #selfcare #blog #artistsofinstagram #illustration #womeninillustration (at Lebanon County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpKRJXn85s/?igshid=19l6qhoxua3vb
