Artist Brynn Casey on Fear, Fun, and Staying in Your Lane

Season two starts with one of my favorite conversations yet, with Brynn Casey, a Georgia-based artist known for her coastal and water-inspired paintings. We talk about her years apprenticing under Brit Bass Turner, why trying oil paint after a decade in her signature style feels almost forbidden, and the marriage metaphor she uses for the seasons of a creative career, some fireworks, some grind, all worth it. We also get practical: why Instagram doesn't convert the way it used to and what Brynn's doing about it, including a Pinterest strategy pulling 40 percent of her web traffic, how to cold-pitch interior designers, why photography should come before your website, and how she built a product ladder, from journals and calendars to prints and commissions, so there's an entry point at every budget. Her closing advice stuck with me: stay in your lane, keep your eyes forward, and stop checking what everyone else is doing. It's the perfect way to kick off this season.
