Can You Stay True and Still Make a Living?

What happens when your integrity and your survival pull in different directions? In this episode, I reflect on the tension between staying true to your artistic voice and trying to make a living within a system that often asks for something else. From my farmhouse in Denmark, I move between the soil, the studio, and the gallery world — through experiences with commercial galleries, years of holding on to my own way of working, and the quiet question that keeps returning: Can you build a life as an artist without compromising what matters most? This is an episode about money, shame, freedom, and the cost of staying true. www.mianelle.dk
