Paint Rest Repeat: Art Business & Artist Marketing with Ros Gervay

If you are wondering if you should start an art account over on Instagram or if you should walk away from the platform altogether, this episode is for you! In this episode, Laura and I bring you the inspirational Jade Warne from the Small Business Growth Club.

A photographer, videographer and IG growth coach, Jade helps small business owners to make money online. At a really low cost.

Instagram can be a bug bear with the shift to favoring video content and reels, and the fact that Instagram seems to be ever-changing. Jade addresses this overwhelm and encourages artists like you to pop yourself in the driver’s seat and decide whether or not Instagram is the place for you.

If you do choose to give Instagram a go, Jade recommends using all 5 surfaces - the feed, stories, reels, DMs and lives. Like an entire world to discover, Jade suggests exploring one surface at a time. She shares that the least used surfaces are lives and also DMs, which means that they offer you the most opportunity for growth.

Intrigued? Come on over and tune in to this value-packed episode which addresses the mindset work, the hurdles to selling and why YOU are the one in control.

We hope that you enjoy the Show!

In this episode we are talking all things “Collaboration” - and sharing ideas on how you can find success and expand your reach with these types of opportunities. As artists we are usually working alone in the studio, so it is nice to seek out ways to work with others on projects to help keep us motivated, while also gaining extra exposure for our work. 

 

Collaboration is a great way to build brand awareness as an artist and get your name out there. Ros and Laura share two different big collaborations that are participating in for 2023. 

 

They share examples of types of collaborations that you could pursue to gain exposure and extend your networks as an emerging artist. They also list a whole heap of other artists' names in this episode - scroll down to see links for you to check out their work!!

Catch you in the next episode!

In this episode, Laura and Ros chat about whether it is OK to copy another artist’s work. Are you allowed to copy an artwork you see on Pinterest? Can you sell that artwork? How much do you need to change that artwork before you sell it? Can you create an artwork during a workshop either in-person or online and then share it on social media? Can you sell that work? Where is that line?

 

We unpack what copyright is and what intellectual property is in the context of the arts and how knowledge of this can help you as you transition into a professional art practice.

 

Ros shares how important external influences are on one’s art practice and how our art is a mix-up of all of our previous art experiences. Laura adds that it is ‘normal’ to be influenced by your evolving tastes and experiences over time in areas like music, art, childhood, experimentation and how all of these factors have an impact on her art practice.

 

Laura and Ros chat about artworks resulting from workshops or courses and whether or not they can be shared on social media or sold. We discuss what good etiquette is and reference the beautiful Elizabeth Gilbert who states in her book Big Magic that “we must imitate before we innovate.” Tossing around the concept that nothing is ever truly original, we suggest that trying things on and experimenting with various styles is an essential part of the art process and your journey as a creative.

 

Ros chats about why she recommends for her students to complete as many courses as possible, so that their toolkit is truly a mash-up and they can pic and choose all the little bits that relate to their own style.

 

We hope that you enjoy the Show!

This fortnight, Laura and Ros are bringing you an interview with Tessa Bartholomew who is an Intuitive Abstract Artist from the Adelaide Hills. In this episode we chat about her background with art from studying graphic design to what she is doing today.  

 

Recognizing that sitting behind the computer all day doing graphic design didn't suit her, Tessa shares how she made the move to Melbourne and started doing visual merchandising and events. She describes how she was working with big clients in a fast paced industry making their exhibition stands for trade show events. Which she recalls as being “very cool but also very stressful”.

 

Tessa continued to work for a similar company in Adelaide when she returned. We touch on the topic of burn-out and the health challenge that led Tessa into wanting to reduce stress and follow her passion for art full time. After this life altering event she realized she needed to do things to help herself heal and recover, which led to a big lifestyle change.

 

Painting had always been humming away in the background for her while she had her corporate career. She had started off doing paintings for friends and then progressing to selling to people she did not know. 

 

At the start of 2022 was when she quit her events job and made the transition to full time art. Ros points out that from her varied work background it builds a good foundation of skills that all tie together to aid in a career as an artist. Tessa has since continued to focus her energy on her own art business venture. 

 

Tessa shares some big insights from her journey so far, including: 

 

• Reducing stress and learning to rest
• Pursuing new creative opportunities 
• Sharing art online and putting yourself out there
• Mindset shifts that she had to make to transition to art full time
• Giving herself permission to do things that make her happy
• Embracing inconsistent income as an artist
• Being strategic in planning a financial buffer for her art business

 

There are many lessons, we could keep the list going and going, but you will have to tune in to see what Tessa has to share!

 

We hope that you enjoy the Show!

Catch you in the next episode!

In this episode, Laura and I get real. We lay out the options available to you for making money out of your art and the various business models you can choose from as a modern-day artist. We debunk the idea of ‘commercial art’ being dirty and explain why you must make money to make art.

 

In this day and age, we have access to tools and technology that have never existed before. It is the best time in living history to be an artist and we need to take advantage of the opportunity. If we don't, it would be doing a dis-service to the artists who paved the way for us.

 

We share the four options put forward by well-known author Jeff Goins in his book “Real Artists Don’t Starve” - commercial art, the patronage model, self-patronage and poverty.

 

1. Make commercial art where your art is a commodity which you sell to the market
2. Engage in the traditional artist patronage model where a wealthy benefactor pays for your livelihood while you create your work
3. Choose self-patronage where you find a way to fund your own art practice by getting a second job either in the art realm or outside of the art scene
4. Where the artist chooses poverty and creates art from that struggle

 

We also dive into the various business models we have seen in the art arena so you can think about how you currently fit in or how you want to fit in:

1. Fine Art Galleries. This is a commercial model where your original work is your only product, and you work with high-end fine art galleries to sell your work. You are represented by a gallery and exclusivity is a factor. They provide you with direction and they take a commission. E.g., Australian artist Wendy Sharpe

2. Retail Galleries. This is another commercial model where you work with galleries such as Art to Art, Fenton and Fenton, Greenhouse Interiors or Jumbled Online. They show your art, stock your art, take a commission. Usually there is no exclusivity.

3. Self-Representation:

a. Shop/Gallery. You do not rely on any sort of gallery. You have your own market stall or trade show presence or retail shop. Often you turn your art into products including prints, linen, clothing. E.g., Bromley / Ken Done / Grotti Lotti.

b. Online. You do not rely on any sort of gallery. You retail your own original art, prints, products via your own website and online presence. E.g., Tahlia Stanton and Tiff Manuel.

4. Hybrid Model. This is a combination of self-representation and self-patronage where you have a job to fund your practice. E.g., Susan Nethercote - originals prints + commissions + teaching; Ange Miller - originals + teaching; Rach Jackson - originals, murals, licensing.

In this episode, Laura and Ros cover the topic of artist documents. We chat about artist CVs, artist statements and artist bios and discuss WHY we need them; the difference between them and what to include in each of them. Laura has even made you a workbook on this topic, so scroll on down and download that bad boy ASAP!

 

Whilst not all artists will feel confident in their writing ability, these documents play a key role when applying for an art prize or gallery show or creating a press release, a website or even just a marketing flyer. Written information about yourself and your practice is key to growing your profile.

 

Artist Bio - A short description about yourself and who you are as an artist. It includes what inspires you and a little bit about your practice. Keep this concise. It is a brief profile of you. Do not go into detail on your education, prizes etc. Keep it short and snappy.

 

Artist CV - This is like a resume, specific to your arts career. It includes exhibitions, publications, educational background. It is a comprehensive document that you use when applying for grants and funding, galleries, large exhibitions etc.

 

Artist Statement - This document compliments pieces of your art, usually in the context of an exhibition or gallery application. In this statement, you can go into more depth about your inspiration and also your location if relevant. It is a sales tool and helps to give context to your artwork and invites a deeper connection with your work. An artist statement helps others to read into your artworks and the elements, themes, ideas, processes, techniques and so forth.

We are back with another interview episode! Today we are talking to the inspiring and amazing Ange Miller.

 

We ask her about her journey into art and she recounts how she always loved making things and how art became a sacred space for her. She describes art as being an anchor for her soul  in her younger years.

 

While studying she recounts how she struggled with performance anxiety. Ange felt like there was no place for her, she describes the many challenges she experienced after graduation entering into a really dark place. She was invited by her previous Tutor - Andy Collis to assist in the classroom and within a year she was taking a class of her own and making up lesson plans. 

 

In the episode we ask her about “art school wounding” Ange gets fired up on this topic describing it as a broader “Education Wound” starting in primary school: and how students are not validated or recognised for what is uniquely inside of them. 

 

Ange states that the key to overcoming this wound is - Confidence - and becoming the author of our own life. She shares that - each of us has a unique message and by getting back in touch to the deepest part of ourselves we can access this. Ange says that Creativity is the foundation to life and it is energising when we find authentic flow. 

 

Ange also shares some valuable insights into:

• Learning to let go
• Fostering a long term love affair with your art
• How energy is often underestimated in the painting process
• Her unique Commission process
• The Instagram treadmill
• How articulating your story “sells the art”

In conversation with Laura, Ros unpacks art prizes, why to consider it and what is involved in the entry process. She shares her journey to date and how a single art prize and her finalist position opened up opportunities.

 

Laura shares that art prizes are a chance to learn and grow, reflect, learn who you are as an artist and gain clarity around what you want to communicate to the world through your work. Art prizes provide artists with direction, something to work towards, a goal, something to share on socials, community and they help to add structure to your year.

 

There is more to art prizes than winning.

 

Ros and Laura chat about the mindset element of the art prize entry process and share how common it is to feel rejection and disappointment when unsuccessful in an art prize application. We suggest that you listen to Episode 12 where we interview curator Philippa Demase and discuss how curators choose work for prizes. Hint: There is more to it than just you and your work. 

 

Laura and Ros suggest that you spend some time researching art prizes and find appropriate matches for your art, reminding you that you are looking for a prize that is a good fit for YOU as an artist. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR ART to suit an art prize.
