Should I have separate social media accounts for my personal life and my art business?

No, especially if both accounts are small. Combine everything into one account—preferably convert your personal account into a business account. This approach serves multiple purposes: you don’t waste time jumping between accounts, you maintain a natural balance of personal and business content that helps people relate to you and trust you, and you build authentic relationships with your audience. People want to see you as a real person they can connect with, not just a business constantly asking them to buy. Post about your dog, a walk on the beach, a sunset—alongside your art and campaigns. This balance of ‘romance content’ (quiet, relationship-building posts) with campaign content is the ideal posting strategy.
