All About YOUR HOST Kat

Welcome, artists and dreamers, creators and visionaries. I’m Ekaterina Popova, your host—artist, certified master mindset coach, and founder of Create! Magazine.

Join me in a welcoming virtual space where we’ll have fireside chats about art, running a small business, mindset, spirituality, and more.

Originally from Russia, I moved to the U.S. with my mom in 2001. My creative journey involves working with oil paints and watercolor to explore themes of home, belonging, and identity.Fueled by a passion for fostering artistic community, I founded Create! Magazine and Art Queens. These platforms are close to my heart, dedicated to creating nurturing spaces where artists can connect and thrive. My dedication to sharing knowledge also led me to co-author "The Creative Business Handbook" and "The Complete Smartist Guide" with my friend Alicia Puig. Through the Art & Cocktails podcast, I aim to share tips, wisdom, and inspiring conversations to empower you.
