#3 / Life-Changing Lessons from Art School
In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I learned from art school, but they're not what you might expect. I talk about everything from thinking about giving up on art to how important it is to express yourself and trust in your own ideas. This episode is packed with insights for any artist, at any point in their journey, whether you've been to art school or not. You'll get to hear about the tough parts I faced when I started art school and the powerful lessons I learned that I still use today.
So, if you're curious about the real ups and downs of art school and what really made a difference for me – listen to this episode. Just real talk about the struggles and what really matters.
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.

🎨 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.
