Here she is again—do you recognize her? It’s Nicole, the goldsmith behind Mimmie Sieraden, and she’s back for round two of my private art class!

No blueprint, no guarantees: against all odds!

By |2024-09-14T13:46:22+02:00September 14th, 2024|Artist Life|

Is it hard to be an artist? Is living off your art as a single mom difficult? These are questions I get asked often. My answer? Yes and no. When I started this journey, I didn’t have a blueprint. I didn’t have a crystal-clear idea of what I was going to create, nor how I was going to make a living out of it. All I knew was that I wanted to be an artist, but the path ahead was uncertain. Ten years ago, I switched careers. I left behind the familiarity of my previous life to venture [...]

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a private art class with a lovely mother-daughter duo, Mandy and Marjolein. It was an incredibly special day, filled with creativity, laughter, and a wonderful sense of accomplishment as they both worked on their masterpieces. What made this session even more meaningful for me is that Marjolein is actually family! We discovered that she’s a distant cousin, the daughter of my grandmother’s brother. How amazing to think that creativity runs in the family, connecting us through generations. It was heartwarming to see both Mandy and Marjolein enjoying the experience together, as [...]

Embracing Discomfort to Achieve Success: My Journey

By |2024-10-31T23:14:07+01:00September 2nd, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

Success—what does it really mean? Is it about wealth, status, or something deeper? For me, it’s about freedom—the freedom to live without the constraints of society’s expectations. But achieving this freedom isn’t just about hard work. If it were, everyone would be successful. It’s about something more, something most of us avoid: stepping out of our comfort zones. Our comfort zones are like warm blankets that shield us from the world. They make us feel safe but also hold us back from growth. Whether it’s endlessly scrolling through social media, binge-watching TV shows, or sticking to familiar routines, [...]
