✨ Creative Easel LIVE 2026 ✨
The 2-Day Business Conference for Paint Party Owners & Creative Entrepreneurs
March 23–24, 2026 • Riverview, FL
Get the strategies, skills, and support you need to grow your business with confidence.
Let’s be honest—trying to grow your creative business with random YouTube tutorials, endless free webinars, and “hope marketing” isn’t the vibe anymore.
It’s time for clarity. Confidence. And community that actually lifts you higher.
At Creative Easel LIVE 2026, you’ll learn how to scale your creative business with strategy, heart, and a little bit of magic.
You’ll master AI that saves time, Procreate that powers your designs, and marketing systems that actually fill your events.
And you’ll do it surrounded by people who get it — creatives just like you who are done playing small.
Because the truth is…
The people coming to Creative Easel LIVE aren’t just “figuring it out.”
They’re building it out. Together. In real time. And they’re walking away with strategies that change everything.
Seats are already flying faster than Taylor Swift tickets in Tampa 🎟💃 — and this event will sell out.

Your Ticket to Transformation
Lori Miller – Artist, Business Coach, and Heartfelt Leader for Creative Women
Lori Miller is an artist, creative business mentor, and the founder of Rare Bird Art Studio and The Creative Easel — two inspiring spaces designed to help women in the paint party and creative business world rise together.
For more than eight years, Lori has been teaching others how to paint, profit, and believe in what’s possible. Her passion lies in showing women how to turn creativity into confidence, and passion into sustainable success.
After building her own art business from the ground up — not once, but twice — Lori understands the hustle, the heart, and the hurdles that come with chasing a dream. She also knows how lonely it can feel when you’re doing it all on your own.
She’s seen the creative world led by loud voices that sometimes made others feel small — guarded, exclusive, or just out of reach. Lori’s approach is different. She believes in leadership that invites, not intimidates. A rising tide that lifts everyone.
That belief became the spark for Creative Easel LIVE — a two-day business conference coming to Tampa in March 2026. Built for women in the paint party, DIY, and creative industries, this event blends hands-on workshops, marketing and AI training, and honest, mastermind-style conversations to help creatives grow — together.
Lori is creating the kind of community she always wished existed: one where collaboration replaces competition, and every woman’s success fuels another’s.
Because Lori doesn’t just teach business —
she builds belief.
And she knows that when creative women stand together without comparison, everyone wins.
Miss this, and you miss the breakthroughs.
You can keep trying to piece it all together alone…
Or you can be in the room, surrounded by 50+ creative entrepreneurs, learning the exact strategies and mindset shifts that will transform your 2026.
