"Other professions have community. But artists often work in isolation for most of the year and it can be so lonely at times. I have found my community in the Art Queens! It has been so inspiring to have a place to ask questions and share wins! I feel like I am constantly learning and growing in this group!"
— Alexa, Art Queens Member
Your Relationship with Art is Forever.
LET’S BE REAL:
It deserves to be supported, protected, and celebrated—especially now.
Inside Art Queens Society, you’ll find the guidance and community to keep evolving your practice in a rapidly changing art world.
Whether we connect online or in person (yes, we host occasional meetups around the globe), our mission is to hold each other accountable, share real resources, and keep moving forward—together.
This is where you’ll discover new connections, collaborations, and the momentum to grow—one step at a time.
Why do you *need* to join AQ?
The truth? You don’t need another community just to feel busy.
But if you’ve ever felt alone navigating your art career—or wished you had a circle of creative women who get it—this is your space.
Inside Art Queens, you’ll find artists who are serious about growth, willing to share what works, and ready to cheer you on every step of the way.
We keep it honest here—no gatekeeping, no fluff. Just real conversations, proven strategies, and the support to help you move forward faster.
Because queens don’t settle for anything less than their full potential. And neither should you.

MEET YOUR COACH
Meet Kat: Your Certified Coach, Mentor & Artist-In-Digital-Residence
I’m Ekaterina Popova—an immigrant who moved from Russia as a kid, armed with a paintbrush, big dreams, and a determination to create something meaningful.
Over the years, I’ve grown my art business to six figures, exhibited and sold work internationally, and been featured in Colossal, The Jealous Curator, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. I’ve completed global residencies, co-authored two bestselling books, and built Create! Magazine to showcase artists around the world.
When I’m not in the studio working on my oil paintings or sipping a cold glass of rosé on the beach, I’m passionate about sharing the strategies, mindset shifts, and tools that help artists thrive on their own terms.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: you can’t wait around for permission. You have to build the opportunities you deserve—and I’m here to help you make it happen.
