I talk to Vicky Ross about energy that we carry in our art businesses.  Many artists that I speak to are looking for sales, gallery representation, recognition and validation of their art. However the energy you hold internally can often be incongruent with the things you desire and this can make it feel like you are always struggling, and the things you want for your career are constantly out of reach.

In this episode we talk about personal energy and self awareness and how this can affect your art practice and business.

This episode is number 3 of 5 episodes about mindset for artists who want to uplevel in their art and business.

Many artists have confidence in their work in the studio but suddenly find it isnt there when it comes to taking their work into the  marketplace. In this episode I talk to Vicky Ross, a transformation coach,  about confidence.  Too often I see artists feeling unsure, and insecure when they it comes to growing their audience or making sales.  Low confidence in our work can seriously hold us back and in this episode Vicky talks about improving confidence around your art business in particular.

In this episode Vicky Ross and I talk about emotions, particularly the emotions we carry around our work. I often talk to artists who are nervous or anxious about showing up. Often they want to grow their online audience but fear rejection or humiliation and avoid using social media altogether.  Vicky explains how our imprint years affect us as adults, and how self awareness helps us take control again to  work towards the things we want.

This is the first of five episodes about mindset for artists.

Matthew Burrows talks about #artistsupportpledge - a movement helping artists sell their work during coronavirus lockdown. He talks about how it started after hearing so many people found their exhibitions and fairs cancelled or postponed. Burrows goes on to explain the culture of generosity that he sees coming out of this, how the pledge works, and talks about some of the messages that he received from participating artists.

Artist as patron is one part of the pledge, where an artist agrees to purchase the work of another once they have made sales of a £1000/ $1000 themselves. Burrows talks about setting the price at £/$ 200 as an accessible level for people who are new to buying art as well as established collectors, and how selling directly fits into the art business economy.

Lucy Werner from The Wern, a PR agency for small businesses is also the bestselling author of Hype Yourself, A DIY PR Toolkit. In this episode Lucy talks about the various ways that artists can raise their exposure through the media and how to go about it.

In this episode she talks about 

• Researching publications to be featured and researching the writers of the columns within those publications
• Getting your online presence in order to manage the potential new traffic to your website
• The human story; talking about you the the artist is much easier for writers to cover in a story than your art alone.
• Newsjacking to raise your profile
• Using Listings to build an audience

Buy the book HYPE YOURSELF here  - it's a great read and I hugely recommend it to any artist who is ready to get some press coverage.

Hynek Martinec is a figurative painter based in South London. His paintings are inspired by Old Masters and/or photographs, which link the past with the future, using modern technologies.

In this episode he talks about his 2015 museum show at the National Museum in Prague, and how working with an institution differs from working with commercial galleries.

He discusses the immersive research and development period that goes along with producing each new body of work. He spends 3-4 years going deep into the subjects and sources which result in his large paintings and rarely works towards deadlines.

She went on to do several fairs after her initial success and was invited to show at the Salon des Beaux Art in Paris.
