Artist, Melissa Townsend joins me to chat about doing commissioned work, her affection for art lovers and why having a connection to the subjects she paints is important. I'm fascinated by Melissa's high rate of production so I asked her how she's able to produce high quality work so consistently. We also talk about pricing, art school, how gallery representation can help market you to collectors and what it feels like when someone copies your work.
