Hi!
I'm Blume Bauer, and I've been blending artistry with entrepreneurship since 1996. I've made it my mission to reimagine what's possible when creativity meets business savvy, and now I'm here to help you do the same.
My artistic journey has been quite the colorful adventure! I've worn many creative hats, from ensuring picture-perfect moments as a Production Manager in a professional portrait studio to spreading joy nationwide as a Regional Manager on Kodak's marketing team. I've directed events, designed websites, created magazine layouts, and even organized an artist retreat that still makes my heart smile when I think about the transformations that happened there.
My entrepreneurial spirit? Well, it just couldn't be contained!
I've founded five creative businesses:
-
The Yellow Studio: my absolute pride and joy!
-
The Yellow Desk: where I turned my dreams of waterfront living into reality
-
The Yellow Boutique: transforming art into wearable, cozy treasures
-
Design by Blume Bauer: helping creatives with graphic & website design
-
Siren Song Productions: bringing events to life for six years
-
The Yellow Studio: my absolute pride and joy!
Why yellow, you ask? Simple! It represents sunshine, happiness, and those brilliant "aha!" moments that make learning exciting.
Here at The Yellow Studio, I'm passionate about helping fellow artists transform their creative talents into sustainable income streams through print-on-demand. There's nothing quite like the thrill of seeing your art living in the wild on products people love!
MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
"If I'm shinin', everybody gonna shine!" (Yes, I quote Lizzo, she's my hero! 🎵)
I believe learning should feel like having tea with a friend who just happens to know all the creative business secrets, fun, engaging, and memorable long after our time together ends.
When I'm not guiding artist entrepreneurs toward their dreams, you'll find me collaborating with social media influencers, championing women in AI and tech, and working on my upcoming book about living your best artistic life. (Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of courage, tea, and creative thinking!)
I've created The Yellow Studio to be more than just a learning space; it's a warm, vibrant community where laughter mingles with learning, surprises pop up around every corner, and we do the deep, meaningful work of turning artistic passion into a profitable business reality.
Welcome to The Yellow Studio, where together, we'll transform your artistic journey into a flourishing enterprise! ✨

WHAT MAKES THE YELLOW STUDIO DIFFERENT
Founded in 2024, The Yellow Studio provides artists with practical systems for building passive income through print-on-demand, strategic use of AI tools, and authentic branding, all while honoring slow living values and artistic integrity.
Unlike traditional art business programs that focus on gallery representation or academic theory, The Yellow Studio teaches modern, accessible income strategies specifically designed for independent artists.
ARTISTS IN OUR COMMUNITY HAVE:
• Built their first POD stores from scratch
• Turned existing portfolios into multiple income streams
• Learned to use AI ethically and effectively
• Found their profitable niches
• Scaled beyond the "one-woman show" income ceiling
