From Full Time Job to Full Time Artist – Artist Interview with Sharon Duncan
February 12, 2026
When you take on a new endeavor that’s bigger than what you’ve done before, it can be terrifying. In this video I’m sharing the mindset shift that has created enormous growth for me opening up to even bigger confidence and creativity.
Watch it below and enjoy!
Thanks to all the people who have written me asking for mindset tips!
In this video you’ll see me painting a new large painting of Sage Ravens. You’ll also hear me talk about a big surprise that I have for you – a huge creative endeavor that I’ve been working on and haven’t shared yet. I share here what I learned from my new big creative project – a mindset shift that has created enormous growth for me opening up to even bigger confidence and creativity.
If you’ve ever stood in front of a blank canvas — or a blank page, or a blank anything — and thought “what if I can’t do this?” … this one’s for you.
With love,
Kellie

I can’t wait to read your book! Way to go, Kellie!
Thanks Pam, I can’t wait as well!
I am so happy for you! Pushing through fear of unknown things to give others a chance to know your creativity and strength. That’s a win for sure! You have not only been my Mentor and my friend, but the person who gave me the courage to feel the joy of creating every day, as God intended for me. You walked me through finding my purpose and I have loved every second of it. You, my dear Teacher, will be on the NYTimes best seller list before you can blink and I will be first in line for an autographed copy!!!
Godspeed, Kellie, another blessing has been bequeathed upon you. Now you can share all of your fabulous gifts with everyone!
With greatest respect and highest regards,
Cricket
Thank you Cricket, I appreciate your words so much. I’m so glad you have grown so much from the program. I haved loved working with you!
Your painting is amazing and I’m very excited to read your book when it comes out! This is a really helpful mindset tip…I’m taking away that when I keep going I am developing my creative reserves!
It somehow feels reassuring to hear that you have fears about writing your book and that your working through it, it’s very inspiring and reminds me that I’m developing my creative practice and it’s ok to not feel confident in it yet.
Nice to hear from you Roxane! Thanks for your comment. It’s so true, we’re all just practicing, no one has it completely dialed. Keep going!
Your book will be just as amazing as you are. You are a person who shares her knowledge with others in an open, loving kind way, a safe place to be your authentic self. I am thankful I found you as a mentor and have learned so much. I will be one of the first to purchase your book.
I am very moved by your words, Allyson. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m so honored that I get to work with you!
This is so insightful… to just keep going and you’ll reconnect with creativity and discover the enormous strength in yourself. Thank you! I love your painting! I love how the insight for the March Mindset comes from your own feelings in approaching something new, writing a book. I’m excited to read it!
Thanks Laura, I’m glad it was insightful for you. I can’t wait to share with you when my book is out!
