  • 74: What Art Basel Can Do for You: Lessons from Kayla's December Trip
    Jan 19 2026

    Episode Mentioned: The Sparkly Tampon Effect

    In this episode of The Splatter Effect, Kendal and I unpack everything I learned from my trip to Art Basel 2025. We discuss the inspiration, the surprises, the networking opportunities, and the behind-the-scenes moments you won’t find on Instagram (like the men in the bar I recorded with their permission).

    We break down why you, as an artist or creative, should seriously consider attending at least once in your career. From market trends and collector behavior, this episode gives you the “why” behind the Basel hype and how showing up can shift the trajectory of your art business.

    Whether you're dreaming of going one day or planning your first trip, this conversation will help you see exactly how Art Basel can work for you.

    Come listen for encouragement, strategy, and a fresh perspective on the biggest art event in North America.

    It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends. Meet your new business besties Kayla Cole Pacana (Art Business Coach) and Kendal Blanchard (Fine Artist from Fairhope, AL) as they dissect all things life, art, and business. Tune in to learn how to navigate the ups and downs of running your own creative business.

  • 72. Off the Canvas: How to Stay Grounded and Intentional in the New Year
    Jan 8 2026

    We’re kicking off our brand-new monthly series, Off The Canvas, with Atlanta-based mental health expert Jessica Alexander, who brings practical, grounding tools to help you stay emotionally healthy and intentional in 2026.

    Jessica walks us through the power of SMART goals: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time sensitive, and how to use them without overwhelming yourself. She also shares simple weekly habits that make a real difference: choosing a word or mantra, daily gratitude, meaningful self care, tuning into your body, and using a clear to do list to reduce stress.

    We also dive into Brené Brown’s three shame responses: moving away, moving toward, and moving against, and how recognizing your own pattern can shift your relationships, your creativity, and the way you show up this year.

    Off The Canvas will feature different topics and voices throughout the year, and this first conversation sets the tone beautifully: grounded, honest, and full of tools you can start using today.
