Make Better Art.
Sell more of it.
Feel damn good doing it.Â
Â
If you're done second-guessing every brushstroke and done with the self-doubt, you're in the right place. The Honest Art Society is a community for artists who are ready to get better, build confidence, and actually start selling their work.
Artists need other artists.
And we need techniques to create fearless, Honest Art® AND the tools to sell it.
Welcome to the Honest Art Society
Where artists stop playing small and start creating with courage.
Whether you've just stumbled across my world or we've been on this path together for a while, I'm so glad you're here. Because one thing I know for sure? No artist thrives alone. Not the greats of the past, not the legends we admire today, and definitely not us.
Picasso had Matisse. Basquiat had Warhol. Even the Impressionists had each other.
Every bold artist had a crew.
And now? So do you.
A Community That Gets You
Imagine finally feeling seen and supported.
When we create without support, improvement can take forever. That's what happens when you have a group of kind, fun, supportive artists who are all about encouragement, truth-telling, and zero pretension. No gatekeeping. No ego. Just real humans showing up and cheering you on.
Want art tutorials? We've got 'em.
Need resources like how to write a standout artist statement, how to price your art, and more? Got em.
Need an Instagram workshop to get seen and sell art? Yep, it's in there!
Feel your confidence grow with each stroke, each risk, and each imperfect masterpiece.
THE HONEST ART SOCIETY IS FOR YOU IF:
- You're tired of creating in isolation and wondering if you’re even on the right trackÂ
- You're ready to make bolder, more powerful work…but you keep getting in your head
- You want real feedback to help you improve, not just "this is so pretty!" or “that looks great!”
- You're committed to growing as an artist, even when it's uncomfortable (cuz that’s where the good stuff happens)
- You believe artists thrive with support and connection with others
IT'S NOT FOR YOU IF:
- You're looking for a passive course you can binge and forget about
- You're not open to feedback or other perspectives on your work
- You're not willing to show up for your dreams, even imperfectly
WHAT IT INCLUDES
REAL COMMUNITY + WEEKLY CONNECTION: This isn't a forum where your questions go to die. Every Wednesday, you get real face-time with real artists who are in it with you. Show up, connect, and leave feeling like you actually belong somewhere.
1x MONTHLY TRAINING
First Wednesday of the month
Every month kicks off with a focused, pre-recorded training from Jodie on art techniques, mindset or effective ways to sell your art. You'll walk away with something you can actually use, whether that's a new approach to color, a fresh perspective on your process, or the must-have skills artists need to sell their work.
1x MONTHLY COACHING CALL
Second Wednesday of the month at 2pm CT
1x MONTHLY SPECIAL EVENT
Third Wednesday of the month at 2pm CT
Some months you're creating side-by-side with the community during Studio Hour. Some months a guest expert comes in and completely shifts how you think about your work. Either way, you'll leave feeling more connected, more energized, and more like the artist you're trying to become.
1x MONTHLY (OPTIONAL) ART CRITIQUE
Fourth Wednesday of the month at 2pm CT
EXCLUSIVE ARTIST RESOURCES
ACCOUNTABILITY & EXECUTION
This is where ideas turn into action. We don't just talk about art, we make it. Each month comes with a challenge tied to that month's training. For those who love a challenge, you'll get the support, structure, and accountability to keep showing up and learning new skills.
COMMUNITY PLATFORM
A real community. Not another Facebook group.
 The Honest Art Society lives inside a dedicated app built for this community and nothing else. No doomscrolling. No ads. No getting distracted by your aunt's vacation photos halfway through a conversation about color theory.
Just discussion boards, coaching call replays, shared wins, and a group of artists who are genuinely rooting for you. It's available on your phone or desktop, so your hype squad is always one tap away.
ACCESS TO COACHING BY A CAREER ARTIST WITH OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE
I'm Jodie. Artist. Educator. Fun have-er-er.
For over 22 years, I've sold hundreds of my own paintings, become a 7-figure artist, been represented by galleries, spoken about creativity and the artistic process at dozens of conferences, and hosted workshops around the world. I love teaching artists how to thrive creatively and financially and I gatekeep nothing.
If you're called to create, you know it's not just a fluke. It's something bigger. It's important. The world needs artists right now and that means YOU! Let's make some cool sh*t together!
Jodie has spent 20+ years in the rooms where art gets made, talked about, and sold.
When Jodie talks about building a creative life that lasts, she's not guessing. She's lived it.
The next coaching call is coming up.
The Honest Art Society runs on a real weekly rhythm. That means the moment you join, there's something to show up for. The next group event is on Wednesday at 2pm CT. Join before then and you'll be in the room, live, with Jodie and the rest of the community.
Miss it and you can always catch the replay. But there's nothing quite like showing up live the first time and realizing: yeah, this is exactly what I've been looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
You are. Seriously. The Honest Art Society isn't for artists who have it all figured out. It's for artists who are still figuring it out, which is most of us, most of the time. Whether you've just picked up a paintbrush, been painting for six months or six years, if you're showing up and doing the work, you belong here.
Same, honestly. Most online communities are ghost towns with good intentions. This one is built around a real weekly rhythm, four sessions every month, so there's always something to show up for. You don't have to be everywhere. Even one session a month can shift how you feel about your work.
The calls are one hour, three times a month. That said, every session is recorded, so if life happens you won't miss out. Catch the replay when you can, drop your questions in the community app, and keep going at your own pace. This is meant to fit into your life, not take it over.
Art is better when it's made in community.
I know you've probably heard that "art is a lonely process." And yeah, sometimes it is. But it doesn't have to be. The artists who keep going, who grow, who actually build a creative life they love, they don't do it alone. They have people. They have somewhere to land when the work gets hard and somewhere to celebrate when it finally clicks. That's what the Honest Art Society is. Not a course. Not a content dump. A real community of artists who show up every week, tell the truth about their work, and cheer each other on. You've been creating long enough on your own. You don’t have to anymore.
