Description
For all you working artists, this conversation is a dose of validation and a resourceful pep talk that you're gonna love. Andrea Guezzatta doesn't hold back re: her opinions about the perspectives in the art world she doesn't jive with and the things out there disguised as opportunities that really aren't. She's also extremely generous and transparent when it comes to her income streams, pricing, secrets to success on Patreon, cultivating an engaged collector base and how she feels about painting cute shit. She was SO fun to chat with and listen to, and is definitely the kind of guest that leaves you wanting a part II.
We talked about...
-- Her fine approach v. painting things because they're cute
-- Viewing art as a skill set and a way to make money. And divesting from the often privileged perspective of academia.
-- A break down of Andrea's income streams
-- Charging a living wage and how to balance that with what your audience is buying
-- How she makes Patreon work for her
-- The need for more play and fun in the art world
-- How doing stand up comedy has influenced her art practice and given her confidence in the world
-- What to do when you feel stuck in your process
-- How she approached her recent solo show, Stratosphere (and the time and cost it took)
-- How she became a faster painter
-- SO much more
