  • Get Off The Struggling Artist Bus

    I was thrown a life-saver by listening to this podcast today. It feels like I have been getting rejected from more things than I even have applied to. The inner chorus of self doubt has been deafening. Marina’s ability to reframe rejection and step back to see the bigger truths is very helpful. In her clear and logical explanations, the stories we tell ourselves become just that - stories. I’m learning to tell myself better stories. Thank you Marina!

    The Artist Advisory Hotline is such a gem. Marina offers so much insider knowledge and practical insight for artists, and she shares it in a way that feels both down-to-earth and heartfelt. I always come away feeling seen, supported, and inspired. Her thoughtful approach and willingness to share her experience make this podcast an invaluable resource for any artist navigating their creative career.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q+A for Artists: About Getting Gallery Representation, Selling Your Work w. a Gallery, Why Collectors Buy, and How to Debut New Work
Q: When an artist starts creating a body of work that's totally different from what they are known for, what's the best way to introduce and transition the collectors and public to it?
Begin with a refreshed elevator pitch that explains what you do, why you do it, and how your perspective informs your new work. Debut the new series gradually—three to five pieces at first, showcase it on a dedicated website page, email your list with a clear narrative about the evolution, and then softly approach galleries and engage with them on social media to test reciprocity before a formal outreach.
Q+A for Artists: About Getting Gallery Representation, Selling Your Work w. a Gallery, Why Collectors Buy, and How to Debut New Work
Q: What signals do galleries look for that indicate an artist is ready for representation?
Galleries want to ensure they can offer you what you need and that your work has clear appeal to their collectors. They may start with a few works on consignment to test sales and engagement, look for consistency in your messaging and your work, and prefer artists who show a coherent, marketable trajectory rather than a scattered portfolio.
The Mindset of Motivation: A Conversation with Watercolor Artist Arline Mann
Q: What advice would you give artists aiming to exhibit and sell their work later in life?
Be persistent in outreach to galleries, tailor proposals to what the recipient cares about, keep a body of work ready to show, and be brave enough to shoot your shot repeatedly.
The Mindset of Motivation: A Conversation with Watercolor Artist Arline Mann
Q: What role did mindset and fear play in your artistic journey?
She discusses moving beyond fear by maintaining a student mindset, valuing gratitude, and applying practical strategies like evaluating what galleries want, which helped her stay brave and persistent.
The Mindset of Motivation: A Conversation with Watercolor Artist Arline Mann
Q: How did you transition from a long career in law and theater to becoming a watercolor painter?
Arline explains she started painting at 63, chose a focused path as a watercolorist, and moved from hobbyist to professional by prioritizing selling and exhibiting her work, driven by the belief that her art had value to others and by persistence in seeking gallery opportunities.
