'Don't Let the Magic Die': Josiah Ellner on Building a Life in Art

In this episode of Gallery Hoppers, we visit painter Josiah Ellner (Instagram: @josiahcellner) in his Chicago studio to talk about building a sustainable creative practice, navigating burnout, and finding meaning in both community and art. We discuss Instagram's evolving role for emerging artists, the importance of showing up (without selling out), and how faith, color, and everyday beauty shape Josiah's work. It's an honest conversation about staying grounded while growing as an artist.
