Do galleries and art sales really come down to luck… or are they built through systems and follow-through?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, gallery owner, author, and Professional Artist Association Faculty member Jason Horejs is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Jason has spent decades on the business side of the art world, helping artists understand how galleries actually work, how collectors make buying decisions, and why most artists lose opportunities simply by failing to follow up.
In this deep dive, Jason breaks down how to approach galleries in a way that gets real responses, the follow-up systems most artists never implement, and how consistent communication turns interested viewers into long-term buyers and collectors.
Rather than relying on chance, Jason explains how artists can create momentum through repeatable systems, broader exposure, and professional relationship-building.
” If you're looking for exposure, galleries should certainly be a consideration, and if you're not in galleries, you're missing out on the opportunity to have people who are seeking art see that work.”

Do you really need a large following to make money from your art online?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, painter and sculptor Kasia Frankowicz is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Based in Melbourne, Kasia creates bold work infused with humor. Alongside her original pieces, she has built a consistent income stream through prints… making her work accessible while expanding her collector base beyond high-ticket sales.
Rather than relying on a massive audience, Kasia focused on visibility, proving that print sales can become a reliable part of an artist’s business.
In this deep dive, Kasia breaks down how to generate consistent income through prints, what actually drives sales (and where most artists go wrong), and how showing up across platforms creates steady demand over time.
” Art should be for everyone and I don't subscribe to the idea that prints make your work less valuable.”

What does it take to build an art career from scratch in a country where you don’t even speak the language?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, painter Gabrielle Reeves is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Gabrielle is an American artist working between the United States and Turkey, who made the unconventional decision to move abroad and pursue her career without an established network, local connections, or even fluency in the language.
Starting from zero, she built her career step by step through persistence, visibility, and a willingness to put herself in uncomfortable situations.
In this deep dive, Gabrielle shares how she created opportunities without waiting for permission, what actually led to exhibitions and gallery representation, and how consistent, small actions compound into real momentum over time.
“ I have had people tell me: you're crazy to move to a foreign country and work as an artist. But I knew it's what I wanted to do.”

Does talent get you opportunities as an artist… or does something else drive a career forward?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, paper artist Eric Standley is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world's fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Eric is a professor of Studio Art at Virginia Tech whose multi-layered paper works have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
His process is extraordinarily time-intensive and that relationship with time turns out to be central to everything he has built professionally.
Rather than spreading his attention across every possible avenue, Eric has developed a sharp sense of where his effort belongs and which opportunities are actually worth pursuing.
In this deep dive, Eric breaks down how international gallery and museum relationships are built and sustained over time, why opportunities rarely come from talent alone, and how the discipline of protecting your attention shapes the trajectory of a career.
This episode is a candid look at how professional artists navigate the gap between making meaningful work and building the relationships and structures that bring that work to the world.
“I try to think as big as possible, and I also try to think as big as possible in choosing those goals.”

April 14 How You Build an Art Career (Without Waiting to Be Discovered)
Why doesn’t making strong artwork automatically lead to a career… and what actually bridges that gap?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, contemporary artist Daryl Thetford is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Daryl left a career in psychology to build a full-time art business supported by galleries, corporate commissions, and top-tier art festivals.
Rather than waiting to be discovered, he developed a system that creates consistent opportunities and income over time.
In this deep dive, Daryl breaks down how to build multiple income streams, why reaching higher-level art festivals changes your earning potential, and how thinking like a business owner is essential to sustaining your work.
“There are just so many ways to make money, depending on what you're willing to do or not do, in the art field.”

By refining her booth, presentation, and show selection, she’s learned how to maximize both visibility and sales in high-traffic environments.

March 31 How Artists Actually Sell Art on Instagram (What Works Now)
Is selling art on Instagram really about followers… or is it a skill you can learn?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, painter Maggi McDonald is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Maggi is a Sydney-based artist who has built a full-time career through vibrant paintings and a highly intentional approach to social media.
Instead of relying on luck or viral moments, she treats Instagram as a system: one that consistently attracts collectors from around the world.
In this conversation, Maggi breaks down what’s actually working right now when it comes to selling art on Instagram, how she built a global audience through consistent and strategic posting, and how she converts attention into sales without feeling pushy or inauthentic.
This episode offers a practical look at using Instagram as a tool and how artists can turn visibility into a sustainable income stream.
“ If you are wanting to reach a global audience, and sell your art all over the world, then you need to use Instagram to your advantage”

March 24 How Artists Build a Career Without Galleries
What if you didn’t need galleries or perfect timing to build a successful art career?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, mixed media artist Dayo Johnson is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
For over 30 years, Dayo has built a sustainable career outside the traditional gallery system… through festivals, commissions, and direct relationships with collectors.

Rather than waiting for recognition, Dayo focused on showing up turning each sale into momentum for the next opportunity.
In this episode, Dayo breaks down how she turned small art shows into a full-time income, how commissions became a reliable part of her business, and the unconventional way she funds future shows through her collectors.
“ Even during times, when it feels like it's not working, continue on, keep going because there's going to be something that breaks through that allows you to do what you want to do.”

What does success actually mean for an artist?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, contemporary figurative painter Alyssa Monks is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Alyssa is internationally known for her emotionally charged paintings that push the boundaries of traditional realism while exploring the psychological complexity of being human.

This episode offers a candid look at what it means to build a career that protects your artistic integrit… and why redefining success may be the most important decision an artist makes.

March 10 How Artists Work with Corporate Clients (Google, Amazon & More)
What does it take to turn deeply personal artwork into major professional opportunities?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, artist Charles Clary is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
Charles is known for his intricate paper installations built from layered paper, drywall, and found materials.
His work transforms themes of grief and healing into immersive sculptural environments.
Over time, that distinctive visual language led to commissions from organizations including Google, Amazon, and the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas.
These opportunities didn’t appear overnight. They grew from years of refining his craft, building professional relationships, and learning how to present his work clearly when large-scale opportunities arose.
In this episode, Charles shares how personal expression became the foundation for major commissions, how he approaches corporate collaborations, and why professionalism matters when institutions come calling.
"Be ready for it, don't jump into the deep end until you're ready to swim. It took a good development of the work to get to those commissions” — Charles Clary
