Season 3 is finally here! And we’re kicking things off with one of the most transparent episodes I’ve aired yet (Really though. This one’s on the vulnerable side for me.).
My good friend Amanda Sandlin joins me in co-hosting a conversation about the big “artist myths” that’ve haunted her and I over the years. Amanda has been such a supportive, bright light for me these past months (not to mention a brilliant painter and writer) and I wanted to let you be a fly on the wall to what we’ve really been talking about. If you’ve been feeling extra self-critical or have caught the comparison bug, I think this conversation will feel like one giant exhale.
We talked about…
-- Being/ not being the artsy kid and how that affects us now
-- Our relationship to being self-taught, and why we would or wouldn’t get our MFA
-- How we manage our studio schedules and conflicting feels on not “waiting for inspiration”
-- ALL the thoughts on artist statements
-- Real talk on being full-time, having other part time work and selling (or not selling) out your collections
-- and seriously...SO much more.
