Creating Valuable Art that Sells

Expand Your Reach

filed in

Interview w/ Emily Jeffords

"Most of the time, if you're creating work you enjoy, there's a market for it. Because if you enjoy it, someone else will also."

Today’s guest is painter and artist mentor Emily Jeffords. I’ve owned a few of Emily’s prints for years and it was a huge honor to chat with her today.

 

In this episode, we talk through:

  • finding inspiration
  • creating artwork that sells
  • the artist journey

And regardless of whether you’re a painter or fine artist, if you have a creative heart, I think you’ll find a ton of takeaways in this episode.

More About Emily

Emily leads creative retreats, called Creating With Nature Retreats that focus on nurturing deep inspiration.

She is also the visionary behind ‘Making Art Work,’ a course that has empowered thousands of artists to run successful and profitable businesses, catalyzing a culture shift in the artistic community.

Additionally, Emily hosts ‘The Collective,’ a dynamic monthly membership for artists, workshops, and classes, all crafted to empower creatives to thrive in their studios and businesses. Doors to the Collective actually open again this month and we’ll include a link in the show notes).

In an era when being a “successful artist” is more attainable than ever, Emily finds immense joy in witnessing the flourishing of countless creatives under her mentorship as well as the growth of her own studio with collectors around the globe and partnerships like as a home goods collection with Anthropologie, artwork with West Elm, hand-painted ornaments with School House Electric, and other gorgeous brands.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
