host: Alyson Stanfield

It might help (but isn’t necessary) to start this episode by listening to episode 189, which is an encore of a 2019 interview I did with Ali Cavanaugh when she was making big changes in her work life.

In this episode, Ali and I catch up with all that has transpired in the last 5 years. We discuss:

• Her booming Patreon community that gives her so much joy.
• How she has pared back on the demands for her art and the boundaries she put in place to allow her to do that.
• The recent release of the Ali Cavanaugh Portrait Colors Set from Golden Artist Colors.
• The upcoming retrospective of her work, made possible because she has withheld prized pieces from sale to keep in her private collection.

Ali is incredibly generous. As you’ll hear, she is utterly devoted to her patrons and the success of her students.
