She learned the business from the bottom up while her mum mentored her;
She decided to start her own business - one that helped both artists and collectors;
We discuss “the art world” vs “the world of art”;
Creating a buddy system with other artists to go to gallery shows together;
Being proactive and setting up your own exhibitions with other artists to gain experience;
Thinking about yourself as a professional artist;
Finding validation from within and having the mindset of a professional artist no matter what you earn or who represents you;
Part-time jobs and other streams of revenue;
The artist’s essence;
The artist statement;
Gathering as an artist;
Doing small post card sized works and what can come out of that;
