Marina Terauds (https://www.marinaterauds.com/) has always loved to draw. When she was a child, her parents would sneak her sketchpad, and while she slept, they created drawings for her to find when she awoke. She enrolled in an arts academy in 5th grade and continued her art education, earning a master's in printmaking at The Latvian Academy of Arts. She worked as a key animator for many years before she emigrated to the United States with her husband Uldis. In this conversation, Marina describes her experiences adapting to rural life in a different country without being fluent in the language. Her nature walks became the source of inspiration, which ultimately fueled her body of work.

Cali Hobgood (https://www.photographsbycali.com/) is a traditional photographer who uses 35mm film and develops her black-and-white images in a darkroom. She finishes her work using oil paints to add color. Her imagery reflects the sensory pictures she sees in her mind's eye that depict beautiful memories from her life. These images celebrate their essential, ordinary functions yet trigger a wealth of emotional resonance from their symbolism. Cali talks about her intuitive process and recounts a story about when her work sparked controversy at an art festival that nearly threatened her safety.

Settle in and get to know Su Abbott (https://www.susustudios.com/), an abstract painter currently residing in Atlanta, GA. She grew up in a military family and developed her sense of humor to adapt socially to that transient life. She even parlayed those talents into a career as a stand-up comic before she picked up a paintbrush. Su describes her entry into being a festival artist and her path to a successful career. Thanks for listening!

Have you ever dreamed of opening a brick-and-mortar gallery location to offset your time on the road? Today's guests, Chris Jackson and Laura Junge (https://lleejunge.com/), did just that when they opened the Jackson Junge Gallery (https://j2gallery.com/) in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. In this conversation, they talk about how the gallery allows Laura the time she needs to create her work, the nuances of running a gallery, and their next giant leap of faith regarding gallery shows in Miami's world-famous Art Week! Thanks for listening!

Do you ever feel like that creepy, awkward person trying to "break the ice" with a potential collector? When you're off your game, you just are!  In this episode, Douglas and Will deliver their take on the most recent art fair "hot topics." They discuss Memphis, being a civilian, doing a show during the week of an election, creative ways to clean your tent and money laundering. There's just enough nauseating banter to keep you thoroughly entertained in the studio or on the road. Thanks for listening!

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.

Making a living from our artwork comes with its unique set of challenges. For art fair artists, this involves venturing out of our solitary studios and hitting the road, searching for our audience. We risk physical and financial security, and if we can't maintain a positive attitude during adversity, that dark spiral can cycle us downward and act as a barrier to connecting with collectors. This week's conversation discusses the Pacific Northwest Tour, The St. Louis Art Fair, Emerging Artist Programs, and planning for next season.

When asked about her choice to network with other show directors in order to make her show better, Sarah Umlauf says, “I’m not afraid to ask for help…….I check my ego at the door.” 

Sarah became the Executive Director for the St. Louis Art Fair https://www.saintlouisartfair.com/ in Clayton, MO in 2019, right before the global pandemic shut things down. In this conversation, she brings her experience from the other side of the industry to reveal a director’s point of view on topics like running an ethical jury, managing stakeholders, and her favorite part of the job. Tune in for this enlightening conversation.

How are YOU handling the pressure these days? Are the struggles with road life getting in the way of your creative process? What is the right balance of studio time versus art show time for your bottom line? Are you prepared for fluctuations in buying energy due to the economy or elections? Is your baller schedule NOT so baller because the sales are off? Or are unforeseen hiccups forcing you to cancel a show that you needed to cover your bills?  Douglas and Will talk about these and other topics related to the issue of artist pressures.
