Encouraged by her parents, Gail Sibley studied art, then started to build a following for her hand painted tiles and pastels in the markets of Salt Spring Island. People began to ask her to teach, but she found herself limited by the number of people she could serve in a single class.

Now at How To Pastel and the Gail Sibley Art School, Gail provides her students who want to take the next step with community, commentary, and lessons to help them ignite their passion for art with others who are doing the same. 

Today, Gail joins the podcast to share the story of how she succeeded in a unique and highly competitive field, the power of knowing your value, and how the membership model is uniquely designed to serve creatives.
