Willow Talk

This is a fun one, y'all! In this episode, we sat down with sculptor and artist, Ryan Kelley for an incredibly candid conversation about life as a full-time artist, how to turn your dreams into realities and - OF COURSE - the power of community and how we are more supported than we may even know. Treat your ears to a good time and have a listen!

In this episode of Willow Talk, Allie and Emma sit down 1:1 to chat about something that can feel awkward and uncomfortable for many creatives... pricing your artwork. In this honest, no bullshit conversation, we discuss our own pricing journeys, why time is quite literally money and how to tell that person that you've met twice to eff off when they ask for a discount. 

In this episode of Willow Talk, we chat with Illustrator and Mass Art student, Gabby Kay about the nuances of life in art school, overcoming creative blocks, as well as her journey to living as her most authentic self. We also discuss the importance of a support system when pursuing a career in the arts and Gabby fills us in on one of Boston's hidden museum gems.

In our first episode, we sat down with NH-based indie musician, Molly McDevitt to learn more about where her journey started, where she is now, and how she made her way out of the comparison trap. We also talk about what it means to be "successful" in the creative space and what that might look like for different artists. Molly shares the importance of community, loved ones, and vulnerability - along with sound advice for artists just starting out on their creative journeys.

Meet the hosts of Willow Talk, Emma D'Arpino and Allie McDevitt. In this episode, they give a quick intro to who the hell they are and why they're here.
