@shadonnajames1129 I use to teach high school students and adults with disabilities. God prepared me to have a son diagnosed with autism. So, I always encourage my son to be positive. I stress to him that he can do anything that he put his mind to do. I tell him "Don't let your disability stop you from your abilities." I said, all that to say ...If you don't think people will buy your work, then they won't buy your work. They won't buy it because you think they won't buy it, so then you will not put your self out there. If you never put yourself out there to show people your work...then how can they buy it? I simply suggest the first step is to change your mindset. Believe in yourself and the work that you create, then allow others to see the art you create....that's the "Bet on Yourself." I will give you another example, as a photographer I have been to events and saw people just starting with their photography at events and they are selling photos that look "not good" or you can tell they are beginners. I know my skills are so much better than theirs, but who is there doing the work? That person is there doing the work and getting the money, so I always encourage them because they are bold enough to go do it, even if the skills are not there YET. However, the skills will come, because he or she was brave enough to go do it. So, be brave and keep doing your art. I hope and pray that one day you will have the mindset to show and inspire others with the beautiful gift you have inside you. How will the world know how creative and talented you are if you don't change your mindset and let us see what you working with right now? Believe in Yourself and others will see that belief! Then others will believe with you! Then others will invest in you too!
I used to have a gap when I was younger and hated it and all the time hoped it would close lol which it did. But the weird thing is my mum didn’t ever have a gap, but then only more recently I noticed that she had gotten a lil one out of nowhere. Some people can really pull it off to be honest! She definitely suits it 1000%💌
@@YoungDymisty Even when I was little, only a few people teased me about it but it NEVER bothered me. I think I'm definitely one of those people it suits. My stepsister had a gap and then she got braces to close it and I called her a traitor lol.
aint no way you had a youtube channel all this time and I didn't know it. my wife is gonna be wondering why im always watching this woman you've been my favorite artist for the past 6 years!
I needed to see this today I just recently lost my sister she was my cheerleader for me starting a business she was helping me create my store. I wanted to give it up but wanted to honor her love for creating. Like u I am a Believer and I know God has me on a path to continue both of our love for being a creators. You have a beautiful soul and spiritual being. Thanks for sharing your knowledge it’s beautiful to see so many people are just for theirselves making it but your love to help others is so special ❤❤❤❤
@@tammieh647 my condolences to you🌹 I’m sure the memories you both share will be that special fire to keep you inspired and motivated. I’m glad this video could encourage in some way 🙏🏾

Well hi buttercup!! 😅. Fellow Texan here-as a matter of fact, I lived in Huntsville for 15 years with my first husband and raised my two boys there. My oldest graduated from Sam Houston!! My youngest get is in the army and a fireman. I’m so glad I discovered you. You have really hustled! So, I’m an artist too. I didn’t start painting until ‘17 when I was 52. I love to paint but I’ve had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do, but I finally have. I’m studying through Evolve and have fallen in love with oils and am honing in on portraiture. Thanks again for this video. I’d love to talk to you. I’m in Longview now. God bless you hon. I love your painting behind you. I’ve done something similar but it’s a foot. Haha. I thought it was interesting that you partnered with others and I’m gonna look in to Event Bright. Bless your sweetheart. May God continue to give you success! ❤
Bryonia, your video is inspirational! I am 69 years old and struggling with life circumstances and finances at the moment and though I have a ton of paint, canvases, alcohol markers, and quality colored pencils, I have let my stress level keep me from making art. I am currently living in northern Mississippi but will be relocating to the greater Philadelphia area within a few months to be close to my daughter. Thank you for reminding me to let go and let God. I feel like He put your video in front of me because it was just what I needed to hear. God bless you and I wish you much success. I will be watching 🤗
Hey Queen! I’m glad this could help in any way. You definitely have the creative tools, now it’s time to build and share👏🏾 May God bless the work of your hands and allow abundance to follow suit.
This is such a great video. I’m sadly ruled by a lot of fear but and I am fighting through it and remembering God’s word says “Do not fear” hundreds of times! Your relaxed and welcoming demeanor brings a better sense of comfort and peace about creating. Thank you!
I feel you read everything in my head and put it in the video.. I do lots of portrait but it’s not exactly what I want..it doesn’t give you freedom to do everything
Welcome to RUclips! Your story, your vision, and your work is truly amazing. I’m one of those who took that leap off the cliff! No parachute, no wings, just…concrete 😅. But not complaining, I’m enjoying my “why” process. I draw and paint (amateur) but currently my passion is in sculpture. I would value your insight and opinion on my work. And I have one more question. Most information on the web when it comes to pricing typically pertains to painting. How would you price sculptures? The numbers I have in my head are trying to follow me off the cliff. But I want them to fly! 😅 Sorry for the long reply… Peace and blessings and thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
Thank you for sharing this I am really struggling right now and I’m learning step by step . One of my paintings just sold and I was really shocked because I told them to throw them away . I’m currently going to create some great pieces for the $100 or less show coming in December 2024. I want to inspire I want to make people smile through art . I have a similar story I would draw as a kid and then a fire lit inside of me when I saw a motorcycle in a store that I thought was too expensive so I went home and started painting in 2020 . I’ve since picked it up and put it down since then and now I just can’t stop thinking about it after receiving a call that someone bought my art !

Thank you so much for sharing. This was very informative. I love what your mom said to help encourage you to do prints. Also, the breakdown of different things you did or can do is awesome. Congratulations on your rise. Especially with having to rebuild after that Instagram issue and just your sales fluctuation and learning savings and net profit vs profit after deductions. This was definitely inspiring and I want to continue to inspire others too :)
I don’t like doing logos either 😂. What is the name of the piece behind you? It’s beautiful! ❤ Also, I’ve found for myself that my art has always been good to me during challenging times in my life. I’m sure things will look up for you soon regarding your business since you’ve done that before! You dropped a lot of great information and ideas. Moral of the story is, keep creating!

This is such an enlightening and encouraging video, thank you Brionya! It is also helpful to hear about the ups and downs.

I just wanna say thank you for making this video. I started watching you at about 6 o’clock this morning and I feel so inspired. I’m 66 years old and started doing art I think around 2018. When I was young, I would just want to see if I could draw And I was sitting on the floor and drawing a picture of a clown from a coloring book. When my mother saw it, she said I’ll be down you can draw. I said yeah I’ll do this when I get older and I gave my drawing book away to a guy who needed to finish an art project. Fast-forward to 2018 after my daughter died, I started painting because I wanted to give her children oil paintings of her Before I Die. I’ve created three paintings for her and gave one away. Now one paid for my family and friends and I gave them away as gifts because I love them so much. Now I’m considering taking a class and getting out there and doing my thing before I get much older. Maybe it’s one of those things I can do on my retirement. Thank you for your encouragement, you are beautiful inside and out. You have a beautiful aura about you. Pray that God continues to bless you and take you to higher heights. With wonder for that which is beyond you and always think positive. Pamela.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I believe that God has led me here to listen to you and learn from you. I am a quadriplegic mouth painter, and self-doubt and fear of rejection have been my greatest obstacles. I have an upcoming solo exhibition on September 27th and 28th, and your advice would be invaluable to me.God bless you
What a unique gift! And congratulations on your solo exhibition 🌹that’s a testament of itself on how you STILL push through despite circumstances. Please stay encouraged and know that people are inspired by you. 🙏🏾
Thank you for this post. I'm an artist and pursuing my art business. I'm overwhelmed on my journey because things are so new. Encouraging to watch this.
So informative…and thank you for the book shout out! I am forever grateful for your talents. The response has been AMAZING for all who have seen the book. 👏🏾💜
@@doctorkchilds thanks Queen! I haven’t forgot about you 🙏🏾 I will be updating the website soon once I get these tutorial series knocked out but I appreciate the partnership and look forward to “I Am More Than My Name” taking off !
Excellent!! I needed to hear this today. My biggest roadblock with my art is Me! Soo many Ideas, ppl asking "why i dont create more black art?" and "how come you can't do portraits?" (I felt you on that part.) I took a break from art for my mental health then God blessed me with a new purpose. DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY. I'm now back to making art and never felt better. Thanks for the video and you have a new subscriber and a possible future collaborator 👍🏾
Thank u for this vid. I myself have been FINALLY really trying to take my art career seriously. And still learning on how to push my name and talent out there. This vid showcased alot of great ideas and I appreciate this.
I am so happy to come across your video! God is guiding me and am getting started taking myself "seriouslly", so many miracles. Bless your heart and your courage.. I've been a graphic designer for over 20 years. Anyway, I'll be a loyal follower! Would love to know your formula for pricing your prints. Thank you so much for your authenticity! It's extremely helpful and inspiring!!!!
RUclips algorithm brought me to your channel. You are so awesome and you're painting with Gods heart in mind! I'm so glad I found your channel. You are dropping so many gems. I'm a new artist and transitioning from hobby to professional. Its been a challenge because I just feel like I don't know where to start (bouncing between corporate gig and hobby). Thank you for the encouragement ❤. God Bless you and I hope to see more content from you!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you so much for your transparency. This was really good and very encouraging. I’ve watched your rise in the art world but thank you for peeling back the layers to your business. I learned from this and as fellow artist I can also relate.
Great lecture Sista' I'm proud of you. keep going. You pop up on my screen i decided to listen and great job. I'm a old school artist and you sounded like me in NYC. great job.

Hi Brionya, thanks for sharing. I have no formal training. A couple drawing classes long time ago. Ive been a lover of art, painting especially sketching. Its something about that monochromatic and blending that touches me. I am older than you, about retirement age trying to embrace my art hoping its something i can turn into a second career. But im just starting out. Life just got in the way. Our generation was pushed to be practical, you cant make any money with art. So i didnt pursue seriously until covid. I dont really know my niche or style. Im just going to have fun and let God guide me.
@@joannjulius8100 thanks for tuning in! And totally understandable. I think that’s still a thing for us millennials/ Gen X/ baby boomers today, that pursing dreams outside of systematic careers are too far to reach. Yet if God has given you a gift, it is meant for you to nurture and use it 🙏🏾 it’s never to late to embrace, start now 👏🏾🌹
Thank you for sharing your tips, creative challenges and inspiration. I am really considering taking my artistic talent more seriously. I have participated in some online art challenges just to keep the creative juices flowing. I have always thought I was good just not good enough compared to others. I am working on changing my mindset and will be returning to school. You are an inspiration. ❤
Thank you for this video. I've been trying for so long to get my art out as a career, been doing it so long. There's times I start to lose hope. But I know If it is God's will, the time will come at the right Moment. God bless
@@warriorforchristscarlet3623 it’s truly a gift that I don’t think God wants us to neglect. I feel the same way at times but I have to remind myself that it’s purpose before profit 🙏🏾 the fruit will follow the more you sow, water and grow. keep creating!

I remember seeing your work on intagram years ago! I couldnt wait for you to pop and people to see you talent! Your'e so impressive!!! Im so glad the world is seeing your art!!!!! I'm obsessed. Cant wait to purchase one of your pieces!!!!
@@jesslocd bless you 🌹 I appreciate your words and receive them well! I don’t feel like I’ve taken off yet 😅 but I’m glad I’m able to share what I’ve learned along the way 🙏🏾
Such an inspiring video. Thank you 🤗🙏♥️
@@originsbeyond thank you for tuning in! 🌹
Love your message and encouragement. Thank you so much for sharing and keep up the great work😊❤
Thank you for making this video! Although I have been printing all my life, I’m learning not to run from it anymore. I’m just in the beginning of my Art journey, and allowing God to lead me!
Thank you, I really needed to hear this
Thanks for Sharing This knowledge I Appreciate the Education Big BLESSINGS .
Thank you so much for sharing. This was very informative. I love what your mom said to help encourage you to do prints. Also, the breakdown of different things you did or can do is awesome. Congratulations on your rise. Especially with having to rebuild after that Instagram issue and just your sales fluctuation and learning savings and net profit vs profit after deductions. This was definitely inspiring and I want to continue to inspire others too :)
@@storiesbydesirae I appreciate your feedback and glad it was helpful for you! Keep spreading the light 🌹
Thank you so much!!!
I don’t like doing logos either 😂. What is the name of the piece behind you? It’s beautiful! ❤ Also, I’ve found for myself that my art has always been good to me during challenging times in my life. I’m sure things will look up for you soon regarding your business since you’ve done that before! You dropped a lot of great information and ideas. Moral of the story is, keep creating! Inspirational video. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏾🤗✨❤
@@greene_te thanks Queen! It’s titled “Overcome” 💙 and same, everytime I’m going through some pain , the most 🔥 pieces are produced 😅 you keep creating as well!
I truly appreciate coming across this video today. I’ve been in such a funk in where I want to go. I’ve got some inspiration from you today. I can see myself getting to the place you are, for now. Imma create that solid strategy so I have the ground work laid. Woot. I super appreciate you.
@@AmandaRuth_Artistry Hey Queen! 🌹 I’m glad this can create a blueprint for you 🙏🏾 stay inspired and keep creating!
This is such an enlightening and encouraging video, thank you Brionya! It is also helpful to hear about the ups and downs. And I love that you open up to receive “inspiration into your creative love tank”. That is wonderful and I completely resonate. There is so much helpful information to unpack in this video, I’m going to have to listen to it twice! God bless and you have a wonderful gift that you are sharing with the world, and the gift is you ❤
Good morning Kathleen! Thank you for taking out the time to tune in, and I’m glad it could help in some way. And I appreciate your kind words! Much love & blessings 🌹
Thank You For Sharing Your Story! I Live In Columbia, SC & I Relate To Everything You Spoke About…I Appreciate The WISDOM 🙏🏽
@@hustlemanriem thank you for taking out the time to tune in ! I’d trade living in Columbia than being stationed here in Sumter any day 😅
Much Love - Much Art… really love your video
Thank you for tuning in! 🌹
You know right away when you meet a like minded, like hearted person! Within a few minutes I fell in love with you! God’s hand is on you. May he continue to be your guiding light!
Bless you Jaye! 🙏🏾 much love
@@BrionyaJames you are an inspiration! Thank you for your boldness in walking out your faith. We need more people like you showing up and being who God created them to be! Being a blessing is our blessing!
I just wanna say thank you for making this video. I started watching you at about 6 o’clock this morning and I feel so inspired. I’m 66 years old and started doing art I think around 2018. When I was young, I would just want to see if I could draw And I was sitting on the floor and drawing a picture of a clown from a coloring book. When my mother saw it, she said I’ll be down you can draw. I said yeah I’ll do this when I get older and I gave my drawing book away to a guy who needed to finish an art project. Fast-forward to 2018 after my daughter died, I started painting because I wanted to give her children oil paintings of her Before I Die. I’ve created three paintings for her and gave one away. Now one paid for my family and friends and I gave them away as gifts because I love them so much. Now I’m considering taking a class and getting out there and doing my thing before I get much older. Maybe it’s one of those things I can do on my retirement. Thank you for your encouragement, you are beautiful inside and out. You have a beautiful aura about you. Pray that God continues to bless you and take you to higher heights. With wonder for that which is beyond you and always think positive. Pamela.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I believe that God has led me here to listen to you and learn from you. I am a quadriplegic mouth painter, and self-doubt and fear of rejection have been my greatest obstacles. I have an upcoming solo exhibition on September 27th and 28th, and your advice would be invaluable to me.God bless you
What a unique gift! And congratulations on your solo exhibition 🌹that’s a testament of itself on how you STILL push through despite circumstances. Please stay encouraged and know that people are inspired by you. 🙏🏾
Thank you@@BrionyaJames
Been following you on IG for years. You're apart of what drove me to get back into doing traditional art. Wishing you all the success.
@@thespitefulartist bless you! I’m glad my journey could help encourage yours, just know someone is getting inspired by you the same way 🙏🏾 much love
I am happy for you and your success.
Thank you Andrew! Much love 🌹
Thank you for this post. I'm an artist and pursuing my art business. I'm overwhelmed on my journey because things are so new. Encouraging to watch this.
I have sold artwork several times which I thank God for. Have a client I'm selling my art to this Friday. Super grateful for the baby steps.
Thank you. I was stuck in a rut. You just helped me with some ideas. Thank you again.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. Praying that your business will experience renewal and steady growth.
@@sereenaassih1816 thanks Queen🌹 I’m glad this could encourage and I appreciate your encouraging words as well!
Excellent!! I needed to hear this today. My biggest roadblock with my art is Me! Soo many Ideas, ppl asking "why i dont create more black art?" and "how come you can't do portraits?" (I felt you on that part.) I took a break from art for my mental health then God blessed me with a new purpose. DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY. I'm now back to making art and never felt better. Thanks for the video and you have a new subscriber and a possible future collaborator 👍🏾
I love that for you! Definitely do what brings you joy first and foremost, that’s the only way you’ll operate at your best 🙏🏾
Thank you for great tips! I Love your work! #SouthAfricaLove to you!
Thank u for this vid. I myself have been FINALLY really trying to take my art career seriously. And still learning on how to push my name and talent out there. This vid showcased alot of great ideas and I appreciate this.
@@BluBoiART thank you for tuning in! I’m glad it could jog some great ideas for you and I hope your art career takes off! 🌹
😊 i like your story. Gonna share it with my wife.
I am so happy to come across your video! God is guiding me and am getting started taking myself "seriouslly", so many miracles. Bless your heart and your courage.. I've been a graphic designer for over 20 years. Anyway, I'll be a loyal follower! Would love to know your formula for pricing your prints. Thank you so much for your authenticity! It's extremely helpful and inspiring!!!!
Loved this video. This just inspired me to move on something that I've sat on for years. 😊 Thank you for sharing. Subscribed!
@@larrylockett3779 I’m glad it could encourage , now let’s get it! 👏🏾🌹
Great video and advice 🎉❤🔥🙏🏽🎨🎨🎨
You are obviously very creative.
RUclips algorithm brought me to your channel. You are so awesome and you're painting with Gods heart in mind! I'm so glad I found your channel. You are dropping so many gems. I'm a new artist and transitioning from hobby to professional. Its been a challenge because I just feel like I don't know where to start (bouncing between corporate gig and hobby). Thank you for the encouragement ❤. God Bless you and I hope to see more content from you!
Thanks for sharing! Inspirational ❤ your art! beautiful
Thanks Queen! Much love 🌹
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you so much for your transparency. This was really good and very encouraging. I’ve watched your rise in the art world but thank you for peeling back the layers to your business. I learned from this and as fellow artist I can also relate.
I’m glad it could be relatable and help in any way! Thank you for following the journey 🌹
Great lecture Sista' I'm proud of you. keep going. You pop up on my screen i decided to listen and great job. I'm a old school artist and you sounded like me in NYC. great job.
Appreciate you telling your story in long form! 🎉❤😊
Don’t even get me started with the algorithm sis! It’s ridiculous what we have to do now to get reach and “engagement!” Glad to see someone who’s making moves IN GOD without all the internet games, really appreciate you sharing your insight!
@@TheBlackJewelz it’s really a lost cause 😭 they want us to jump through hoops to be seen by our OWN organic followers/supporters . Thank you for tuning in! Much love 🌹
Thank you queen for all of this advices! God bless you❤❤
Nice to see so many ideas on how to manage projects.
Stay well. 🎉
Hi Brionya, thanks for sharing. I have no formal training. A couple drawing classes long time ago. Ive been a lover of art, painting especially sketching. Its something about that monochromatic and blending that touches me. I am older than you, about retirement age trying to embrace my art hoping its something i can turn into a second career. But im just starting out. Life just got in the way. Our generation was pushed to be practical, you cant make any money with art. So i didnt pursue seriously until covid. I dont really know my niche or style. Im just going to have fun and let God guide me.
@@joannjulius8100 thanks for tuning in! And totally understandable. I think that’s still a thing for us millennials/ Gen X/ baby boomers today, that pursing dreams outside of systematic careers are too far to reach. Yet if God has given you a gift, it is meant for you to nurture and use it 🙏🏾 it’s never to late to embrace, start now 👏🏾🌹
Thank you for sharing your tips, creative challenges and inspiration. I am really considering taking my artistic talent more seriously. I have participated in some online art challenges just to keep the creative juices flowing. I have always thought I was good just not good enough compared to others. I am working on changing my mindset and will be returning to school. You are an inspiration. ❤
I'm from Texas and I attended Sam Houston You are very talented and your art work is mesmerizing!
Come through 😍🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 and thank you truly!
thank you so so much for providing this information
@@helenstyx5549 thank you for taking out the time to tune in! 🌹
🎯🎨 thanks for many reaffirmations
Thank you for this video. I've been trying for so long to get my art out as a career, been doing it so long. There's times I start to lose hope. But I know If it is God's will, the time will come at the right Moment. God bless
@@warriorforchristscarlet3623 it’s truly a gift that I don’t think God wants us to neglect. I feel the same way at times but I have to remind myself that it’s purpose before profit 🙏🏾 the fruit will follow the more you sow, water and grow. keep creating!
@@BrionyaJames yes. Amen
Love this very informative!!!!
I’m glad it could help! 🌹
