In this episode we are joined by Kerry Armstrong, a self-taught and widely celebrated Abstract Expressionist and artist – and the visionary behind the Studio Gallery Group!

She opens up about her inspiring journey, from a high-stress notable corporate career and a life changing health-diagnosis of a brain tumour, through to finding her calling and becoming a thriving artist and gallery owner.  

She shares her emotional connection with art, the challenges she faced while making such a big career shift, and the grit it takes to make it in the art world. Kerry also talks about the resilience she’s built along the way and how her gallery empire has grown naturally over time, now featuring a wide variety of artists and mediums. 

During the conversation, she offers practical advice for art lovers—whether it’s how to start your own collection, the emotional ties we form with art, or tips on hanging and displaying pieces in your home. Kerry also highlights the importance of getting professional help when curating personal spaces and how budgeting for art can add long-term value to your home. Plus, she shares the joy of discovering new works through Studio Gallery’s diverse offerings.
