Maybe you can relate?

You know by now that building a thriving creative business business takes a whole lot more than posting to social media with a hope and a prayer that the right buyer will fall in love with your work and buy it.

You’re getting a lot of things right: You’re making your Art, sharing it with the world, attempting to grow your email list, and asking for the sale.


Each sale you make, you're thrilled feeling the satisfaction of your efforts starting to pay off! but if you’re being honest… You put in A LOT of time and work to mostly unpredictable sales, which leaves you wondering if this Artist dream of making a living doing work you love is actually possible.

You’re frustrated with inconsistent sales 

While you appreciate each and every sale you make, it's super stressful to have no predictability to how and when a sale will happen.

You’re stuck at an income plateau

No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to break through the ceiling of a certain number of sales.

You feel close to burnout

There's a pressure to make sale-able Art that can leave you feeling boxed in and depleted.

You just don’t have the time to make Art like you once did

With the growing responsibilities and continual learning curve to market a successful creative business online.

There's got to be a better way? And there is! a way to  keep that harmony between your Inner Artist and your Business Hat while also building a profitable business.

What if you had consistent, predictable income so you could make the Art you love, without the pressure of selling

Imagine how it would feel to....

  • Feel free, knowing you can take a break from your business when you want to
  • Say yes ONLY to the projects that align with your highest values and desires and say no to the rest
  • Break through your income plateau once and for all (and keep going!)
  • Create, share and sell the Art you love making most
  • Know your business isn't reliant solely on what you make by hand
  • Prevent Artist burnout 
  • Have a wider impact with the work your passionate about

The Shiny Squirrel Summit for Visual Artists

will help get you there!


By honoring the super power that includes neurodivergence, and the multi-passionate creative,
get ready to be introduced to possibilities that maybe you haven't thought of before?
while gaining invaluable skills to thrive in your Creative Business!
hi, i'm Marisa!

Nice to meet you!

I'm an L.A. based artist, designer and founder of Creative Thursday.


A small intention to be more creative one day a week while working a 9 to 5 job… Creative Thursday grew into a full time business that is home to my art, podcast, YouTube interview series, blog and book of the same name.


Passionate about encouraging others to live a life they love, especially creatively, I also coach and consult Artists in Business. 


On a mission to inspire Artists to find their unique voice and rewrite their story around selling so that they can confidently, consistently, profitably sell their creations to dedicated Collectors online, Marisa founded The Expansive Artists, a community of Business Artists she mentors. And yes! Iron Man owns her Art seen in the Avengers Endgame.


The gatekeepers are gone. You are the one to open the doors to your dreams - Marisa Anne Cummings


Grab your ticket and join me and the Shiny Squirrel Summit experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you make more income in your Creative Business.


I can’t wait to see you there!

Dionna Vereen

"The chance to work with Marisa, is an incredible opportunity. Not only did she help me hone in my vision, build my planning muscles, and familiarize me with business mindset and techniques, working with her really transformed every aspect of my life, how I move through the world, how I view my work... Thank you! For your wisdom and your care💜💜"

"Working with Marisa turned things around in a big way: When we started working together, I made as much in 4 months than I was making in one year."

Patty Fahlstrom

"Working with Marisa, helped me define my goals and to feel very positive about the choices I am making. I feel poised and ready to put my art out into the world and am excited about the possibilities of having it land in amazing spaces."

Lisa Kurt

"I wish they taught everything I learned from Marisa when I went to art school. Her encouragement, and overall positivity in her teaching and the community she creates. I needed this for my business, and now I have a fully flushed out plan- with marketing that I’m integrating it into my current workflows"
