Passionate Painter Podcast

In today's episode, I got to speak to oil painting phenom Kyle Ma. The interview ran long, so I've broken it into two parts for your convenience. Part 2 is available now at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode63.

Kyle's work is truly a feast for the eyes, whether the subject is figurative, floral, landscape, or cityscape. His sensitivity to light and color temperature belie the fact that he's only 21 years old. 

Kyle’s work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the country and has received several awards including the gold medal in the 30th annual Oil Painters of America National Show. Additionally, Kyle is a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America, Plein Air Painters of America, and a member of Salmagundi Club. "Painting, to me, is an extremely passionate experience. I paint as much as I can, and hope that I can communicate with the viewer what I saw and how I felt each time that I pick up a brush."

When I began this podcast, I promised to share with you my journey in transitioning to a full-time fine artist. Many of you know that right now I'm in the middle of that journey, painting 3-4 days a week and doing a side gig in digital marketing, web design, and copywriting a few days a week. 

Even though I’m not completely transitioned yet to full-time art, in my bones I can feel that I’m moving in the right direction, and I am content.

That said, I recently hit significant snags in two important areas of my art world. 

When I started this podcast, I promised to share my struggles with you as I transition to a full-time fine art career.

In this episode, I'm going to share these recent professional disasters with you, as well as what I learned from them, in hopes of helping you to be better prepared for adversity as you begin to create more art and possibly start your own art business.
