| 9/20/22 | 46. 5 Things Blocking Your Voice [Pt. 2 Artwork Development Series] | While we can talk about all of the techniques for getting new ideas, ways to weed out our influences and different aspects of our work that might need attention, none of that will take us very far if we're being held up by any of these 5 blocks. Developing our work requires us to take risk, know ourselves well, and have the ability to show up day in and day out. Unfortunately, there are some common (yet, not always obvious reasons) why we might have a hard time doing that. In today's episode, I dig into the 5 main things that tend to stand between us and our best work and how you can address them. This is the second episode of the Artwork Development series. It's okay to listen out of order, but when you're done make sure you go back and listen to last week's episode, too!

| 9/14/22 | 45. The 3 Stages of Style Development (Pt. 1 Artwork Development Series) | Today kicks off the first of a three part series all about Artwork Development. This is a vast and important topic and ultimately, I think, the core of what we should be focusing on as artists. In this episode I say more about what artwork development is and why it needs our attention, and dive into The 3 stages of Style Development. Understanding the common points artists hit in their development allows us to identify where we're at in that cycle and take the next best steps for our work. I talk about feeling scattered, being overly influenced, feeling disconnected to our work and more-- as well as give you the behind-the-scenes story of my of style development.

Acrylic and oil painter based in Austin, Texas, Sari is known for her disco ball paintings, still lifes and embrace of color and nostalgia. She's fascinating to watch from afar, which is why I was so excited to have her on the show and get the behind-the-scenes stories on her relationship to her work, social media, having her art widely copied and cultivating connections with her audience. We talked about... – Sari’s relationship to color, low bro media and kitsch, and the resistance to those things in the larger art world – 90s imagery as a common language among peers – Being taken seriously (or not) as an artist who's embraced social media, and Sari’s opinion on going this less traditional route – What’s worked best for her on social platforms and how she balances content creation and art making – The importance of relationships, connection and storytelling – The story of the disco balls!

| 5/18/22 |  41. Pay Yourself a Living Wage | Andrea Guzzetta | For all you working artists, this conversation is a dose of validation and a resourceful pep talk that you're gonna love. Andrea Guezzatta doesn't hold back re: her opinions about the perspectives in the art world she doesn't jive with and the things out there disguised as opportunities that really aren't. She's also extremely generous and transparent when it comes to her income streams, pricing, secrets to success on Patreon, cultivating an engaged collector base and how she feels about painting cute shit. She was SO fun to chat with and listen to, and is definitely the kind of guest that leaves you wanting a part II. We talked about... -- Her fine approach v. painting things because they're cute -- Viewing art as a skill set and a way to make money.

| 3/23/22 | 37. Worldbuilding: How + Why We Create Our Own Cosms as Artists | Marisa Avila Sayler | Today’s conversation with Marisa Avila Sayler is a collaborative jam session on all things WORLDBUILDING in visual art. While Marisa and I make work that is very different, one thing that we have in common in our work is that we are each creating our own-- and we have A LOT of thoughts on the subject. For those of you who love all things fantastical, alternate reality, otherworldly, transcendent, surreal– this episode is for you. BUT even if this isn’t your home genre or main interest, this conversation gives way to a lot topics that are relatable to most any creative: the desire to create something new and better, to use art as a way grapple with the world around us, and to give ourselves a safe haven via our process. Whether we make otherworldly work or not, artists are constantly attempting to create their own world for themselves (the very cool and meta aspect of Worldbuilding that Marisa and I talk about!). In this episode we discuss... – How we each view and define Worldbuilding in the context of visual art -- Why we think there’s been an uptick in this kind of work and its current cultural relevance -- Why content for children tends to be otherworldly in nature – Worldbuilding as an act of freedom seeking and rebellion, and our personal reasons for engaging with this kind of work – The in’s and out’s of the worlds that Marisa and I build. Why we’ve chosen the characters and elements that we have to create our Cosms (worms, slime mold, nostalgia, lucky charms, oh my!) – How being self-taught v. formally trained has impacted the development of our worlds + work -- The importance of retrospect and the role that's played for each of us – The value of getting (the right kind) of feedback on your work -- much more! Love this episode? Join us Marisa and I for, "Worldbuilding: An Immersive Course in the Art of Cosm Construction for Visual Creators." More info here.

| 3/9/22 | 36. 5 Concerns Artists are Having Right Now + Strategic Ways to Approach Them | We're BACK and kicking off season four (finallyyyy!) with a discussion on the five main concerns I've been hearing about from artists recently. In having a lot of conversations with you all over the past month, there were some definite themes and struggles that came up on repeat. I wanted to put them all in one place so we could traverse the ground together and also to let you know: you're definitely not alone in these! In this episode where we cover a wide range of topics such as... How to understand your own work better and the three components of your work you should be able to identify What to do if you feel disconnected from what you're making or worried that it doesn't have meaning behind it All things talking, sharing and writing about your work. What is too personal? How can we come up with interesting things to say? A practice I recommend for when you feel "all over the place" Important ways to compartmentalize and structure your studio practice Different ways to connect with other artists and find creative community How to know when it's time to lean into the professional side of things or stay focused on developing your work A whole lot more!

| 10/20/21 | 35. 10 Ways to Push Your Work Forward, Get New Ideas + Find Themes That Stick | For this final episode in our mini series on style development, I wanted to talk about ways we might both: find new inspiration when we're feeling stuck *and* uncover substantial ideas that we'll actually be able to stick with (hi cohesion and consistency). I think pushing our work forward in unique ways requires a balance of playfulness and focused intention-- which I discuss in this episode.

| 10/13/21 | 34. Copying, Being Influenced and How to Weed Out What isn't Yours | In the age of social media, we're likely to experience either being copied, finding ourselves too influenced by other artists' work, or both. This is a sensitive topic on both ends. Being copied feels horrible (what do we do when it happens?), and trying to move away from the voices of other's when you're developing your own can be a big challenge. As part of our continued discussion on style development, I wanted to offer some nuanced thoughts for both positions with the hopes of validating the feelings those who have seen their work replicated and shine some light on how you can weed out any elements in your work that aren't really your own. I discuss... -- Thoughts on being copied, ways to handle it and possible perspectives -- The common things I see in work that is too influenced by others / how to tell if your work is too close to someone else's -- Ways to move away from your influences and make your work more your own (no shame here, just ideas) “UNIQUE: Style Development Workshop Series” is now open for enrollment!

This Episode is For You. | If you feel caught between multiple styles and you’re craving cohesion or to solidify your “thing,” you’re not alone. As part of the next three weeks where we’ll be digging into style development, I wanted to specifically address what to do when we feel scattered and without direction. In this episode I discuss… -- The 3 stages of style development -- When multiple styles can work for you and when it might be time to rein it in -- Obstacles that the “scattered artist” often faces -- Ways to identifying your “umbrella” and cultivate your style beyond just how it looks -- Remedies and practical ways to focus your style -- And more! “UNIQUE: Style Development Workshop Series” is now open for enrollment!

All About Murals: Pricing, Pitching, Getting Started + More | Roxy Prima and Phoebe Cornog of Pandr Design Co. | Muralists, aspiring muralists and any artist interested in doing client-based work: look no further than this episode with Roxy Prima and Phoebe Cornog of Pandr Design Co. and Ladies Who Paint. These women have been my go-to resource for murals since I discovered them (and I WISH I would’ve known about them when I first started with murals). I really wanted to bring you a practical episode that got into the details of being a successful muralist and these ladies did not hold back one bit. We discussed getting your first mural, pricing, outreach, contracts, taking care of your body, the proper boots and equipment and SO much more.

| 9/15/21 | 31. Licensing, Claiming the Artist Title + Finding Your Own Path | K’era Morgan | I love stories that showcase versatility in how humans find their way to art and make it their job. K’era is definitely one of those stories! Considering art her “second act,” she started with a career PR and later found her way to fine art, design and textiles. We get into what that journey has entailed, the practical side of licensing and getting her products into stores, owning the title of artist for herself and much more. I highly recommend this episode for that always-needed dose of “there’s no one right way to do it, there’s only your way.” Not to mention, if you’re interested in textiles, home decor and/or making functional products--you’ll learn a TON from K’era. We talked about… Her winding road from working PR to becoming a working artist The power of PR, awareness and getting your work in front of people The practical steps K’era took to get her products into stores How K’era got into licensing and what she’s learned in the process Claiming ownership over the title of “artist” + and balancing design and fine art in her brand Advice for carving out your own artist route Much more!

| 8/4/21 | 29. Style Development, Leaving Room for Play, and Balancing Painting and Illustration | Lindsay Stripling | Today’s guest is the amazing painter, illustrator and teacher, Lindsay Stripling (you might know her from her fabulous Lunch Club series on Instagram!). This is one of those conversations where we got to bounce around and touch on ALL of the things: style, social media, having studio practice, Lindsay’s story, the importance of boredom, story-telling, and so much more. I have to say, my absolute favorite part toward the end of the conversation where Lindsay broke down how she thinks about her work. She has a way of putting words to the mysterious intangible that I could’ve listened to for hours. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did! We talked about.. -- How she guides students to find their style -- Getting away from the digital realm for inspiration -- Ageism on social media -- Keys for creating a consistent studio practice -- Holding the titles of painter and illustrator at the same time, and thoughts on illustration v. fine art -- The importance of reading for Lindsey and the in’s and out’s of how philosophy influences her work Bio Lindsay Stripling is a San Francisco based illustrator and teacher. Her work is always coming from a place of layering, texture and experimentation. She likes to keep things fun and explore themes of nature, time, memory, community and psychology. When Lindsay isn’t drawing or painting in her backyard in the Sunset, she can be found walking in Golden Gate Park or looking for a new book at the library. She’s taught team building workshops for Google, Pixar, Shutterfly and Nike and worked with clients such as Adobe, Nike, Intercom, Mind Body Green, Bust Magazine, Spirituality and Health Magazine, St. Regis Hotel and more.

Navigating Social Media as an Artist in 2021 | The demand for content v. the pace of our process, the ever-changing algorithm, and questions about if growth on Instagram is even possible anymore-- I think these topics are on all of our minds right now.

Pennylane is an artist consultant, and she’s really one of the good ones out there providing support to artists who want to strengthen their work, develop their business, write their artist statement and much more. I loved getting to steal her for an hour to ask everything I’ve been wanting to and highlight the knowledge that she’s imparted to me in our sessions together. We talked about… -- The two overarching factors that make for strong artwork and how to know if you’re hitting the marks --Navigating experimentation and incorporating just the right dose of it -- Why you need to bulk up the “meat and potatoes” of your work and ways to bring meaning and substance to the forefront of what you make -- How to overcome the insecurity of being self-taught -- The things to become aware of in your own self (or continued!) art education -- Determining which way of selling your work is right for you: self-representation v. working with a gallery BIO Pennylane Shen is an artist consultant, curator and educator.

| 5/26/21 | 24. An Inside Look at Being a Working Artist | Gracelee Lawrence | As working artists and/or aspiring ones, we tend to have a lot of questions about how people have made this gig sustainable, and what their path has looked like. In this episode, Gracelee Lawrence provides a lot of those answers by giving us a generous look into her own behind-the-scenes. Not to mention, some very rich commentary on gatekeeping in the art world, commercialization, accessibility, creative community, committing to your art practice and much more (I could’ve listened to her for hours!). We talked about... How Gracelee found her way to sculpture and digital fabrication How she approaches accessibility in her work, especially as it applies to her public art Her journey through art school and into making art a sustainable career Attending art residencies to support the making of her work (she did 20 residencies in 9 years!) Balancing making larger, more expensive work with making smaller work The fundamentals of gatekeeping in the art world *and* what’s been helpful for her to focus on instead How she protects her work from commercialization and being treated like a commodity How to find your creative community much more!

| 5/12/21 | 23. Honoring Your Creative Tap | Soleé Darrell | If you’ve felt the need to overproduce work (particularly by Instagram), work at an unnatural pace or race to improve, this episode will be salve for your studio practice. This conversation with Soleé felt just like two artists chatting over tea, because it was so honest and soothing. We unpacked dilemmas around scheduling studio time, being self-taught, chasing after a “career” (and what that even means), confronting imposter syndrome and much more. My favorite was the wisdom Soleé radiates when it comes to being in integrity with her creative energy. I think you’ll find it to be contagious. We talked about…. Soleé’s transition from jewelry making to painting Imposter syndrome Why she would and wouldn’t return to get her MFA Pacing yourself, honoring your creative energy and Soleé’s studio schedule The ways being off Instagram shifted her studio practice Thoughts on what a “career” as an artist actually means and Soleé’s personal career values Working with mystery in the process much more! Bio Soleé Darrell is a born multidisciplinary artist who is based in Oakland, CA. Her work is purely intuition-driven. She explores the experience and depth of being a human in this world while connecting with other worlds through practice and meditation. Each stroke encompasses color, vulnerability, passion, texture, and complete faith in the universe. She uses layers of mixed media to symbolize the healing of wounds and maps the unknown paths we take in life. She is forever fascinated with the idea of things we can never know about our existence, and the self inflicted suffering that human beings can endure through generations of trying to figure it out.

| 5/5/21 | 7 Tips for Completing a Body of Work *Patreon Preview Episode* | Feel daunted by the commitment, consistency and delayed gratification required to create a series? I think that's very common. And I'm in the thick of it myself! Which is why I wanted to talk about why creating a body of work is so important for your artistic growth (and smart for your career), as well as the 7 things I've found to be most helpful within the process. This is a fun topic because, the truth is, a lot of depth and reward comes from investing our energy into projects that are more demanding and long term, but with that, comes more to consider--there's much to discuss! This is episode is a preview of May's Patreon exclusive bonus episode. I wanted to give you a little taste of you can expect each month when you sign up.

| 4/28/21 | 22. On Self-Doubt + Reconnecting With Your Work | If your inner critic has been extra loud or you've been feeling disconnected from who you are as an artist and what you're making, this deep dive is for you. I unpack all things self-doubt, why artists are so susceptible to and what I've found to be most helpful when navigating it. Even if you feel okay in the inner critic department, there's some good discussion here about knowing your artistic values and how you can reconnect with your work. There's a PDF guide to go with this episode, too! I've taken all the notes for you.

| 4/21/21 | 21. Solo Show Prep, Email Outreach + Infusing the Sacred | Lauren Hana Chai | If you don’t already know Lauren Hana Chai, I’m honored to be the one to introduce you to her because her work is brilliant. I had a ton of fun connecting with her and we hit on a lot of ground in this conversation: the ins and outs of how she’s arrived at the work she’s making now, all about her show last year at Thinkspace (from making the connection to the prep itself), how she manages her income streams and mayyybe even the story behind the DMT trip that influenced her recent work. We talked about…. -- transitioning themes in the work -- how Lauren connected with Thinkspace and approaches email outreach -- Lauren’s DMT experience and how its influenced her work -- How and when Lauren went full time and her different income streams BIO Lauren Hana Chai is known for contrasting her traditional Korean upbringing with her modern American life and including a personal story or cultural narrative to accompany each piece. As the first in her family born in America, she was raised by her South Korean grandparents in Hawaii. She moved across the Pacific to San Francisco to study at the Academy of Art University. After some time following the technique-based curriculum, Lauren says she relished breaking the rules and mixing abstract elements into the work. Her current series places side by side traditional elements, such as Korean folk art and Buddhist temple architecture, and modern elements such as interracial relationships or sexually charged figures. She has been featured in NBC News, KBS World Radio, Houston NPR, and the Honolulu Star Bulletin.
