#17 / Is it time to burn the bridges? Going from 'Good to Great'
What does it take to go from Good to Great? In this episode I share my journey of burning bridges to find a better path.
It’s not easy, but in my opinion worth the effort. Listen now to hear my stories and insights of when I was terrified to burn the bridge (especially when my gut was telling me I should, but there was NO PROOF that it was a good idea.) and how I've pursued the “good to great’ path.
🎨 You’ve taken the courses. You’ve learned the techniques.
But your art still doesn’t feel like you — and maybe, lately, you don’t even love it anymore and selling feels even harder.
Welcome to Sellable Art That Feels Like Me, the podcast where I help artists reconnect with their voice, evolve their work, and create art that sells because it’s authentic.
I’m Michele Luminato — an American-born contemporary artist living in Melbourne, working full-time in my studio, and guiding artists through the process of making work that finally feels like them (and naturally attracts collectors who love it too).
Each week, we’ll dive into the real behind-the-scenes of being an artist — the emotional cycles, the creative breakthroughs, and the business clarity that turns connection into confidence (and sales).
Because when your art starts feeling like you again — it naturally becomes more collectable, more magnetic, and more joyful to create.

I believe teaching artists to sell art is one thing — but guiding them to sell their true self is another.
That’s the real journey: away from the noise, back to your essence.
Keep going — your art’s already saying something only you can.
