| 19 Dec 2019 | Yeshen Venema | 00:16:05 | |
The designer-maker’s favourite photographer, Yeshen Venema is my guest on this episode of the podcast. He talks about preparing for a professional photo shoot so that you can get your art and products looking their best. If you have ever applied for a fair, a market, an event or anything similar you will have been asked to submit images which is then used in their marketing. Even stockists and galleries often use the maker’s photos on their website and social media. As such the photos are used beyond your own website and social media feed and that is why investing in a professional is always a good idea.

| 04 Sep 2024 | Ghia Haddad discusses the representation of Arab Women through art | 00:33:48 | |
Artist Ghia Haddad joins me on this podcast to discuss her non Euro Centric approach to textiles and mixed media art. She shares her experience of art history with a Euro-centric viewpoint and feeling outside of this as an Arab woman. Her work explores textiles and representation of Arab women through the lens of an Emirati woman. Ghia's art is something that invites interaction and touch. In this episode she talks about the Western approach to idolising of art that is to be revered, while her own art takes reference from her own culture that invites interaction through more than looking and permits touch and considers this more communal and democratic. She goes on to talk about her series I Dream In Colour which uses the bridal gown as the symbol that crosses cultures and presents it in its various ways beyond the European white bridal gown. Tap here to see the collection Decolonizing History is another of Ghia's series which represents queens from a bygone age, again reminding us that much of our knowledge of world history is told through the European lens. Hear her talk about her reimagining Cleopatra and Zenobia. See images of the artwork here

Paul Catherall is a London based printmaker known for his bold linocuts of architectural landmarks. His work is instantly recognisable, and in this episode he talks about his career and process. After training in illustration Paul found himself working from project to project until one came along that asked him to produce work that he recognised from early British Rail posters. Coupled with a trip to San Francisco where he found further inspiration, he pursued a stripped back poster style of design, with flat colours and developed it using linocuts. It is a style and process that he has not strayed from despite experimenting with other print techniques over the last twenty years.

| 12 Dec 2018 | The Jaunt with Jeroen Smeets | 00:21:03 | |
The Jaunt is a project that lets artists pre sell art work to fund a trip - or go on a jaunt- where they can be inspired by their new surroundings to create art work. It is a simple concept of art patronage that allows the artist to explore new creative territory, and patrons to be a part of that journey. Art buyers purchase work that will be produced as a result of the Jaunt. The art work they will receive is sold sight unseen - because it has yet to be made. The project came about after seeing successful crowdfunding projects and talking to artists about travel and inspiring trips. I loved his ‘ how can we make it happen’ attitude. The Jaunt came about in 2013 and now funds 10 trips a year for artists who Jeroen chooses based on art work he would like to own. The artists he selects are a combination of new and established. The accessible price point of the artworks on sale ahead of an artists Jaunt has likely created a new wave of art patrons who can feel included in the creative process.

Rachel and I discuss what makes an artists' open house successful, and how being part of an organised event can help artists get more exposure. Rachel and I talk about working with artists to help them promote their open studios and how artists can use the occasion to prepare work for display, practice talking about their work, getting feedback from visitors and using the event to invite galleries or art dealers if they are looking to take next steps. Then we discuss the marketing and promotion of the overall event, and our work behind the scenes as well including meetup events where participating artists can meet each other and grow their network. It was a really fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it.

| 12 Feb 2019 | Venice Biennale | 00:16:11 | |
Ever wondered how to take part in the Venice Biennale ? This episode goes behind the scenes at the Venice Biennale, which is comprised of 3 layers. The National pavilions show work that represents each country that is taking part. The collateral events are exhibitions that have a more independent status, and often by groups or institutions, these can take place at the Giardini or the Arsenale, or they can be in the historic centre of Venice. Finally there is the fringe events, these are independent shows by artists or groups which run alongside the main event. Usually these projects do not use the official Bienniale badge or branding but they take place at the same time and across different sites. We talk about the history of the biennial and its impact on the art market. There is a phrase we hear a lot in the art world " see in Venice, buy in Basel" and we discuss what this means, how showing at the Venice Biennale can raise an artists' profile and their market value.

| 03 Apr 2019 | Gina Soden - Art in Ruins | 00:25:31 | |
Gina Soden is a fine art photographer with a fascination for derelict architecture. She travels around the world seeking decayed and abandoned buildings which become the subjects of her beautiful images. Once loved ball rooms, halls, country houses which have been vacant for decades are her favourite subject matters. Her images show how nature has often grown into the empty spaces on one hand breathing new life into the structures and at the same time drawing attention to the past. The structures she chooses are often highly decorated with frescoes, gilding and carving. The mind is always drawn to how these spaces would have been used in their hey day. Despite the love shown at the construction the buildings are now boarded up or sealed. The images are printed as large format photographs pulling the viewer into the space. More recently the artist has begun applying the images to metal surfaces and for her exhibition Archeologies at Charlie Smith Gallery she is showing the work on vintage mirrors which add another dimension to the art work. In this episode Gina talks about her process, getting locked into a property , working towards the Archeologies exhibition and selling through her website.

| 06 Apr 2020 | Artist Support Pledge | 00:41:18 | |
Matthew Burrows talks about #artistsupportpledge - a movement helping artists sell their work during coronavirus lockdown. He talks about how it started after hearing so many people found their exhibitions and fairs cancelled or postponed. Burrows goes on to explain the culture of generosity that he sees coming out of this, how the pledge works, and talks about some of the messages that he received from participating artists. Artist as patron is one part of the pledge, where an artist agrees to purchase the work of another once they have made sales of a £1000/ $1000 themselves. Burrows talks about setting the price at £/$ 200 as an accessible level for people who are new to buying art as well as established collectors, and how selling directly fits into the art business economy. https://www.instagram.com/thegitajoshi/ https://www.instagram.com/artistsupportpledge/ http://www.matthewburrows.org/home Buy my book SHOW YOUR ART

| 15 Jan 2019 | Creative Collaboration - Richard Watkins | 00:25:14 | |
Rich and I met in 2014 and I invited him on the podcast to talk about collaboration and what it truly means for artists to use this as part of their creative practice. We discuss how it differs from participation, and he says a true collaboration is one where all parties involved are bringing something to the table and each person is growing their own practice. It is not about having an idea and then bringing people on board to help you fulfil it, that would be a straightforward project. Collaboration by contrast is approaching the conversation with an openness to how the project could be, and then to successfully fulfil it, having parameters in place particularly around the time frame and outcomes.

| 25 Sep 2021 | Artist Websites | 00:06:19 | |
I see a lot of artists websites and I have noticed that an artist with a lot of experience can still have a poor website. Whether an artist is new to the game or they have years of experience under their belt, I have noticed their website can still be letting them down. This typically happens when they don't communicate their recent experience or upcoming events, and have not thought through the website visitor journey. So many artist websites neglect the visitor journey and their sites are in need of updating with recent and current experiences of the artists. In this episode I share some of the areas that can help you update your website and create a better visitor journey so your website really works for you. Details for my 3 month program starting 5th October can be seen here https://thecuratorssalon.com/on-being-seen

Starting with Van Eyck's Arnolfini Betrothal, the book tracks the story of mirrors and the reflective surface in art through to contemporary art with mirrored surfaces inviting self reflection, 'holding up a mirror' to society and the viewers' participation in the artwork. Michael talks about how artists use the reflective surface to draw in visitors, how this affects engagement with art such as Kusama's Infinity Room and the many artists using the reflective surface for political commentary. The final chapter in the book which Michael talks about in this episode is about narcissism and the popular trend of selfies.

Tim currently has gallery representation and we talk about the different expectations and challenges of working with commercial galleries and institutions. While both offer programming, they vary in their expectations and outcomes.

I talk to Edinburgh based stone sculptor Alasdair Thomson about his training in Italy working with artigiani and using the time in Italy to study the great masters of the Renaissance. We talk about how his art history background influences his contemporary work as stone sculpture is often considered to be a medium for memorialising, and his use of contemporary subjects to make his work relateable to different audiences. We discuss his preference for Carrara marble over local Scottish stones, and its connection to art history.

| 01 Feb 2019 | It's an inside job - Danielle Prahl | 00:15:35 | |
Danielle Prahl is my guest today and she talks about mindset for artists who want to get to the next level. She discusses how mindset for success is tied in with success in other areas of our lives. In this episode Danielle also talks about stepping into the version of you who lives at the level you desire, in all aspects of life and work. Mindset is the biggest challenge for many artists particularly those who might be career changers, those who feel uncomfortable raising their prices or taking action to get to the next level .

| 12 Apr 2025 | Why is ai art so triggering? | 00:22:42 | |
In this episode I talk about using AI generated images as reference material for your artwork. I go on to talk about how artists are often dismissive of AI generated art and creators of Ai art calling themselves artists. I go on to talk about how other industries outside of visual arts refer to themselves as artists. And previous tech developments such as analogue to digital photography, platforms like Canva, camera phones or the ready made have triggered artists in the past as weakening their craft or diluting what it means to be an artist. Is this true or did these things just create more resources and improve visual literacy? I talk about a benefit of Ai image generation which in my opinion is the expanding vocabulary that is required to make better prompts and can help artists and art enthusiasts beyond the prompt, in talking about their art. This episode also invites listeners to notice how ai artists might be a mirror or a trigger to where they are holding themselves back, and explore their own definition of being an artist - eg is it a requirement to struggle, or have art school debt!? And I talk about staying in your lane and noticing distraction. Some of these topics such as ' is it art if it is made with AI ' are merely distractions from wider issues playing out in the world today, and to be mindful of where your attention is, when you could be channeling it into your art. There's lot to discuss in this episode.

| 07 Feb 2019 | Carrie Brummer | 00:19:20 | |
Carrie Brummer talks about her current project which was inspired by a visit to the US National Archives. The US National Archives revealed images of women in the 1940s who had taken jobs that were traditionally taken up by men, however with the men away at war, the women took up the jobs. Curiously the photographs provided no further information such as names of the sitters. It was the absence of this information that Carrie was drawn to, and her art work now celebrates these women. Her art uses a range of crafting skills which she says were also traditionally associated with women. In this episode she talks about working towards an exhibition in Ottawa.

| 11 Jun 2020 | Mindset for artists 4/5 | 00:18:50 | |
I talk to Vicky Ross about how our personal history is the lens through which we see our future. Many artists I work with are moving into being full time artists and others are transitioning their careers. The problem I see over and over is that most artists are seeking visibility and success, but internally they hold themselves back while outwardly voicing their goals. In this episode Vicky talks about looking at our history through the successes we have had, even if they were not connected to their art. Then she talks about being present, and using the present as the starting point and asking what you would do differently if you had all the resources to achieve the things you wanted. In the present moment, we need to get very specific and clear about the things we want in the next 6-12 months. She discusses that in each moment we are capable of changing our thoughts and the future we would like for ourselves. Vicky goes on to discuss the thoughts that can arise that do not serve us, and how to ask ourselves better questions. And how to return to the present moment at any time the inner critic rises up or we feel anxious about moving forward in our art and business. This episode is number 4 of 5 episodes about mindset for artists who want to uplevel in their art and business.

In this episode of the podcast I talk to business strategist and coach, Nicole Liloia. Nicole talks about being responsive to other people, requests, emails and the like, if you are finding that people are not following up and responding to you. Then she talks about engagement. If you are finding you are not getting the engagement you want, say from your social media platforms, then to check in with yourself and see if you are engaging on other peoples content. It is not all about presenting your own work but being supportive to your network as well. Then she discusses follow through. Are you making applications and leaving them half done, are there enquiries sitting in your inbox? Follow through is all about completing the task, which can be doing the thing you said you would, it could be sending the images through to gallery or helping someone that you said you would. It's a shorter episode than others, but definitely worth a listen and she has lots of simple actionable advice to clean up your business karma. Nicole has also created a pdf to help you batch your work so that you can spend time doing more the creative stuff you love.
