Should I create a separate Instagram account to avoid confusing my audience when I sell different types of art?

No, don’t create a separate account. Managing one Instagram account is already difficult, and growing an audience happens one follower at a time. Trying to do that twice is overwhelming and inefficient. Instead, record yourself on video explaining the different types of work you create—your current style and your past work. Post this explanation regularly as part of your content rotation. When people see your face and hear you clarify what you do, the confusion disappears. Repeat this message often. One cohesive account where you educate your audience is far more effective than splitting your presence.
