This week I share some of the hard lessons I’ve learned along the way of my life and business, including how to respect the ebb and flow and why we shouldn’t ‘push through’ the hard parts.

Laura, my studio assistant, updates us on how ‘life happened’ and got in the way of her best laid creative plans to continue painting for her exhibition. We talk about re-framing the pressures around creating art and strategies to get the most out of your creative time..

You can also hear how an abundance mindset around our art supplies allows us the freedom to let loose.

I also touch on the physical health challenges faced by both Laura and I and share my strategies for looking after yourself when your body feels the strain of intensive creative output.

These include:

In this episode Laura asks me about where it all began for me on my art journey. I talk about the winding road that led me to being a painter- from art history academic to fashion designer, to creative business consultant and and finally professional artist. 

We also talk about how to maintain momentum as an artist and how to develop a consistent practice. 

Laura also asks me about some book recommendations for emerging artists and I talk about three of my favourites. You’ll also learn about my philosophy on the value of a consistent art practice and what that means. We also chat about why being productive is so important to the evolution of your style and the value of allowing art making to also be a healing journey

We're off and running with the Susan Nethercote Studio Insiders Art Podcast!  So let's dive straight in.

In this episode I introduce artist Laura Day, an emerging abstract artist preparing for her first solo exhibition.  Laura also happens to be my studio assistant and all-round beautiful human.  Listen in as we delve into the questions this process raises and I guide her along this path of becoming a professional artist.

You can be sure we are tackling some of the big stuff in this podcast and we’re diving straight in to a big, multifaceted question- how to bring a body of work to completion. I share my insights and strategies of how to go about things like: 

⦁Learning what finished ‘feels’ like for you 

⦁How to divide up a large body of work into ‘families’ and identify the different styles that are emerging. 

⦁Allowing yourself to learn and grow as an emerging artist within the context of an exhibition. 

⦁Using social media as a testing ground for what’s working and what isn’t. 

⦁Utilising an exhibition as a marketing research tool. 

I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on this episode and you can join the conversation over on my Instagram @susan.nethercote.  I’d love to hear if bringing your art to completion is one of your struggles?  Or maybe you have some of your own tips for this process?
