Amanda Oleander on How to Overcome ANY Creative Block & the Creative Reward of Discomfort
Many people are under the impression that it’s hard to make it as a visual artist in 2019. Amanda Oleander is busting that myth with her career and wants fellow artists to join her!
Amanda Oleander is an artist, influencer, podcaster and entrepreneur who was recently honored as one of Pure Wow's 100 Women Emerging In Culture. Her and her work have been featured in in New York Magazine, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, and The Hollywood Reporter, to name a few and has even given a Ted Talk!
In 2014, she joined a live streaming app called Periscope, and became the most popular woman on the app. This visibility helped her achieve her goal of becoming her own boss and she now works creating her own art full time.
Amanda’s work bridges fine art, technology, performance art, and commercial work. Her most recent collection involves illustrations depicting life behind closed doors. It is deeply emotional work that will not allow you to view it without feeling something deeply and makes you better for having seen it.
I wanted to share Amanda with you because she is an incredible example for any creative on the power of belief - in yourself, your work and what’s possible for your life.
From our conversation you’ll learn her trick to NEVER get creatively blocked, how to set prices for your creative work, overcome self-doubt, how to find a romantic relationship that enhances your creativity and why all creatives should embrace a period of discomfort.
