  2. LOLA ERHART - The creative cost of constant scrolling

    LOLA ERHART - The creative cost of constant scrolling

    It’s that time again, and this week I’m sitting down with the talented Argentinian visual artist, Lola Erhart.  Lola is a painter born in Buenos Aires and now based in the forest of Patagonia. Her figurative work takes the human body as an object of study, exploring the way emotional and fundamental parts of the human psyche can be displayed through brushstrokes. Lola’s models are friends or women close to her, resulting in an intimate reverence for her subjects. In this episode, Lola explained her practice to me, as well as some of the business processes and personal habits she has introduced to keep her work fluid and time productive.  This was such a grounded conversation and gentle reminder for all creatives to listen to—if we can’t remember to make space for ourselves, it simply won’t exist.  Thank you lovely Lola for taking the time to chat! Live tomorrow morning anywhere you stream your podcasts.  You can find Lola and her work on Instagram here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    TAMIKA HOGAN - Goodbye flighty artist, hello businesswoman

    This week I’m joined by self-taught oil painter Tamika Hogan for a grounded conversation about the evolution of her practice over the last 6 years, becoming a full-time artist while co-parenting her son.  Known for her immersive West Australian land and seascapes, Tamika’s paintings have an entrancing ability to translate the power and stillness of nature into timeless and immersive works of art. We chat about some of the tools she's implemented to manage the challenging balancing act of creativity, motherhood and business, from retiring the “flighty artist” identity, creative celibacy, and why time will never equal price when it comes to art. This one’s about grounded ambition, long-term thinking, and taking your practice seriously without losing its soul. Thank you for sitting down to chat with me Tamika, it was a pleasure!  You can find Tamika on Instagram here and on her website here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    KATE FLORENCE - The gallery red flags that cost me $25K

    Story time this week. In light of recent events, I wanted to share my experience with galleries — the red flags I ignored, the things I’d do differently now, and the lessons that could have saved me a lot of pain and struggle. If you’re navigating gallery relationships, big opportunities, or that uneasy feeling you can’t quite name, this episode is for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    REAL FUN, WOW! - How Daren Magee built a multi-stream creative machine

    This week, I caught up with illustrator, muralist, designer, and all-round creativity machine, Daren Thomas Magee, aka Real Fun, Wow! His work lives somewhere between imagination and reality—often landing in that weird, wonderful in-between space. With everything from prints and books to socks, posters, tapestry and tiles, it's obvious Daren is constantly pouring his creativity into every avenue he can and then sharing it with the world.  We dive into everything from building a business from nothing, the highs and lows of money and mindset, and the self-doubt that still creeps in even when your work reaches millions. This episode is packed with wisdom and full of the kind of creative honesty we rarely get to hear. Find Real Fun, Wow on Instagram here, and online here. Hosted on Acast.

    BIANCA PINTAN - The freedom of sharing creative secrets

    This week, my studio partner Holly and I sit down in Byron with self-taught ceramic artist and educator Bianca Pintan, and walk away completely energised by her passion, creativity and warmth. Bianca’s bold colours, sculptural forms, and intuitive, hand-built process grew from playful experimentation in her garage into a body of work and workshops that inspire artists worldwide. Guided by colour, emotion, and intuition, she doesn’t gatekeep, she openly shares her process through online courses, believing that generosity only expands what’s possible. We dive into sharing trade secrets, finding balance, embracing flexible plans, and what it really takes to market yourself as a self-represented artist, both organically and through paid channels. It’s a grounded, expansive conversation packed with practical takeaways, fresh perspective, and a reminder that creativity is freedom.

    JESS COCHRANE - The pursuit of legacy and a place among the greats

    This week, I’m in the studio of London-based Australian artist Jess Cochrane to chat through her modern take on a traditional art practice. ⁠ Jess’s paintings depict scenes from the everyday with a focus on familiar scenes of gathering and the things we as humans tend to gather, focusing on themes of consumerism, pop culture and fashion. ⁠ Jess shares openly about the ambition that drives her- a genuine pursuit of mastery, legacy, and a place among the greats. In this chat, we dig into the real-world themes in her work, her interesting perspectives on technology in art and social media life, balancing motherhood, and the freedom she found in starting her practice over. This one’s for anyone striving for something bigger in their craft and refusing to strive small! You can find Jess on Instagram here and on her website here. Hosted on Acast.

  8. TABBY BOOTH - “Instagram artist” vs “real artist”

    TABBY BOOTH - “Instagram artist” vs “real artist”

    This week I’m joined by UK-based artist, illustrator and curator Tabby Booth, whose work treads between illustration and traditional folk art painting.  We get into the tension between being an “Instagram artist” versus a “real artist,” the snobbery that still lingers in traditional galleries, how to push through cringe to find success online, and the creative challenges of commission work. As an artist, gallery owner, and artist manager, Tabby offers a rare perspective on how the industry is shifting on all sides. She brings so much insight, honesty, and humour to this chat, plus a healthy dose of screw-the-naysayers energy. You can find Tabby’s work on her website here and on Instagram here, and check out Sailors Jail Gallery here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
