In today’s conversation I’m chatting with Scottish abstract artist Sarah Coey.  Sarah is perhaps best known for her bright and colourful rainbow paintings and for being one of the most joyful places to be on Instagram.

In this interview Sarah walks us through her early days at art school, graduating into a global financial crisis and eventually to finding her way to becoming a successful commercial artist.

She’s the Mother of a 3 year old and 5 month old boys, so we also chatted about making it work when you have little ones around and how she finds time during maternity leave to keep her art business running.

Sarah and I also chat about her passion for being authentic on social media and all your business interactions and how this can help you to connect with your audience and inspire sales.  She also shares with us her views on affordable art.

Sarah and I also dig deep into the issue of copying.  We share on different ways we have had our artwork blatantly stolen by companies, and also how tricky it can be to navigate your feelings and all the grey areas when confronted with being copied by other artists.

We touch on so many interesting areas in this conversation and I really hope you enjoy the episode.
