SLOWMADE PODCAST - Ep 93: Janine DeCresenzo - Playing the Long Game as a Working Artist (Art Shows, Business Shifts & Sustainability)
I recently had the opportunity to go on SLOWMADE PODCAST and talk about my work, the process and business.
Hosted by Christine Mighion, we talk about the long game of being a working artist — the beauty, the exhaustion, the pivots, and what happens when your priorities start to shift.

Janine shares what she’s learned from decades on the road, why she’s reworking her business to better support her life now, and how she’s staying curious and open to change without losing herself in the process.
In today’s conversation, Janine shares what decades on the art show circuit have taught her — about community, safety, stamina, and connection — and how she’s been gently reshaping her business in recent years. We talk about pulling back from constant travel, leaning into custom work and home trunk shows, and exploring tools like AI not to replace creativity, but to protect more time for it.
This is a thoughtful, honest conversation about playing the long game, listening to your body and your intuition, and giving yourself permission to evolve without walking away from what you’ve built.
