sweet lady laura first impressed me with her unabashed sense of style and gift as a designer. as we adventured in italy rooming together while studying abroad, i learned and watched as she designed with a 6th sense in 3rd & 4th dimensions. Her authentic soul and raw honesty is such a breath of fresh air and still find myself in awe of her bravery. The sky was never the limit with laura and she exemplifies that in her design as a landscape architect, being a woman, mother, wife, and pursuing her dreams professionally and personally. love you so laura miller-johnson!laura miller johnson at the making place studio the making place studio on facebooknominate a SWEETlady in your life...we'd love to learn all about her and how she's made a difference in your life & in the lives of others ([email protected])LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode?  if so, leave me a review!CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.cominstagram @katrina.bergemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

how to take photographs of artwork for future prints? start with natural light. filtered is easiest and cloudy days make it a dream. sunny days are great too, just put your work near a window with indirect light. windows on the north side of your home will be easiest.you'll want high-resolution photos and can use a digital camera or even your phone (as long as you're not printing foot-sized images lol).i prefer to stand over my paintings to get the photo just right, although you can set up a tripod and hang your work on the wall. i find the over-the-top approach is easy and quick.once you have taken your photos you can adjust the colors to match the true colors in your painting by using photo editing apps (my fav is VSCO) or photoshop does a beautiful job as well.make sure to save your photos in a couple of different places & then they'll be ready to become prints when you are!LEAVE ME FEEDBACK:what should i talk about next? let me know in the comments below.did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.cominstagram @katrina.bergemail: [email protected] my SWEETlistJOIN THE CANDYCLUBCANDYcolored clubMINI courses CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

some favorite shows at our house are “shark tank” & ”the profit”. do you watch shark tank? each segment starts out about the same...the owner or employee pitches the brand and product to the sharks, the sharks are impressed and want to know more, trying out the product, etc. then comes the moment of truth...the sharks ask how many have been sold. this is where the sharks determine if the product has “proof of concept”...if they haven’t sold any...or enough...that’s where (most likely) the sharks “are out!” so how does this apply to us as artists? how can we progress on our art journey by using proof of concept?!LEAVE ME FEEDBACK:what should i talk about next? let me know in the comments below.did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.cominstagram @katrina.bergemail: [email protected] my SWEETlistJOIN MY CANDYCLUB (only open march 2nd - 7th)CANDYcolored clubMINI courses  CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

Meet my beautiful friend Melinda Brown, author of EVE and ADAM discovering the beautiful balance. We originally met at art shows as she and her family are avid art collectors. The more I got to know Mindy, the more I learned of the foundations and causes she supports that seek to protect and uplift women. One sweet afternoon she shared with me some of the precious gems she was researching for this book. It came at a time when I was struggling spiritually with so many unanswered questions. Our talk and the knowledge she shared with me that day has been an important part of my healing and understanding that I will always treasure. I have been anxiously waiting for her book to be published and am excited for each of you to have the opportunity as well.LINKS FROM TODAY’S EPISODE:Melinda Brown, authorEVE and ADAM discovering the beautiful balanceinstagram @brave.like.eveLEAVE ME FEEDBACK:what should i talk about next? let me know in the comments below.did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.cominstagram @katrina.bergemail: [email protected] my SWEETlistJOIN MY CANDYCLUB (only open march 2nd - 7th)CANDYcolored clubMINI courses CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

have you built a home before? this episode is all about building our quirky modern green concrete home. my husband carl and i had met in architecture school, so it was a big dream...he had just started his own landscape architecture firm, i was painting away, we had 3 littles and were in the middle of our miscarriage streak...but we wanted to build a home on a tight budget that could fit our growing family. when we found old homes we loved, they seemed to need too much to create the spaces we really wanted, so we started looking at empty lots, hired an architect and gave him our paper plans i’d been sketching for years. as with most home builds, we hit lots of roadblocks and learned so very invaluable lessons. we thrifted and salvaged sinks, doors, furniture, left out cabinetry, and phased the building so that we could keep our mortgage as low as possible. there are some unique things as well: a greenhouse attached to the kitchen, a couch and reading area in the kitchen, a bridge, storefront commercial windows, concrete and cork flooring, no AC, no traditional heat, a wood-burning stove, radiant heat, etc...and we’re still working on it all lol.  MOD.D Modern Detail architect todd drennanpublic surplusare you on my SWEETlist? join herewww.katrinaberg.com CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

meet my friend stephanie hock! shortly after having our twins and jumping back into my art career, i met steph via instagram. soon we were meeting up with other painting gals regularly, swapping art hacks, tools, and forming great friendships. we've planned and participated in shows together and steph has been a great supporter to so many of us. one of the most interesting things about steph is that she attended several schools and art programs, she's also taken workshops and has so many things she's learned on her atypical art journey. if you've ever felt like you took a wrong turn or wondered why your route looks so different, you'll love hearing from steph. mother of 4 (including twins), steph is a great example of how you can give up some things to achieve something more. we joke as friends that steph is our most organized art friend. she share some organizational ideas for those just getting started. enjoy!connect with stephanie:websiteinstagramjoin katrina's SWEETlist & keep in touch CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

recently on instagram i shared how i get my paintings so shiny. it's a question i hear a lot, and after sharing my shine secrets i realized how important it is to share as artists...and to continually strive to refine and tweak our process, technique and skills. well you can only share so much within an instagram post, so i thought i'd dive a little deeper to talk about the paint i use, why i use it, mediums, gesso, varnish, when to varnish, how to store your paint, etc.materials + shop infosign up for my sweet list, aka my email listwww.katrinaberg.com  CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!

i'm getting real and raw in this episode telling you about my biggest health struggle that ultimately taught me to look more at the heart and realize that we're all struggling with something. no, life isn't always candy colored and jolly, but we can make it better as we seek to know others, sending love and support.sign up for my sweet list, aka my email listwww.katrinaberg.com CONNECT WITH ME:katrinaberg.comemail: [email protected] my SWEETlist (my email list)instagram @katrina.berg LEAVE ME FEEDBACK: - what should i talk about next?  let me know in the comments below. - did you enjoy this episode? if so, leave me a review!
