In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, painter Vincent Desiderio is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world's fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Vincent is one of the most respected figurative painters of his generation. His work is held in major collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum, yet his career was never built around chasing trends, market demands, or recognition. Instead, Vincent devoted himself to a different pursuit: making the strongest work he was capable of making. In this deep dive, Vincent shares why pursuing recognition can pull artists away from their best work, how he built a career without compromising his standards, and what he learned after achieving the success that many artists spend years chasing. “Enough people every day sell themselves out. They do exactly what will make them rich. I wouldn't jeopardize my one chance to actually do the best I can be as an artist.” — Vincent Desiderio Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:50 Cockaigne: Art History as Self-Portrait 04:48 Painting Against the Culture of Speed 09:21 Dead White: When a Painting Finds Itself 11:15 Breaking Into the Art World 13:48 Advice for Artists at Any Stage 17:06 Theseus: When the Concept Evolves 19:51 Closing Thoughts Connect with Vincent Website: https://www.vincent-desiderio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vincent_desiderio/ Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

Register free. What happens after art school when the exhibitions, opportunities, and recognition don't arrive as quickly as you expected? In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast , painter Melanie Vote is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Based in New York City, Melanie has spent more than two decades building a career through residencies, grants, exhibitions, and a sustained commitment to her studio practice. Rather than following a path of early recognition or rapid success, her career has unfolded gradually through long-term growth. In this deep dive, Melanie shares what many artists discover after graduation but rarely talk about: the uncertainty of the years that follow. She reflects on the gap between expectations and reality, how a transformative residency reshaped her understanding of success, and why comparing your timeline to others can be one of the biggest obstacles to creative growth. ”There's a lot of emphasis on you get out of grad school, and then you have to just get your work into a gallery, and if you didn't, it's over. But my story wasn't like that” — Melanie Vote Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:38 Metamorphosis 04:22 Growing Up Around Makers 06:18 First Shows and the Years After Art School 09:30 The Wash House Series 11:54 Grants, Residencies, and the 10-Year Myth 16:30 How to Apply for Residencies 19:06 Bioluminous 21:49 Final Advice for Artists Connect with Melanie Website: https://melanievote.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melanievote/ Resources Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation: https://www.elizabethgreenshieldsfoundation.ca/ Pollock-Krasner Foundation: https://www.pkf.org/ Vermont Studio Center: https://vermontstudiocenter.org/ Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast , realist painter Nancy Hollinghurst is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Based in the New York City area, Nancy is known for her vibrant still life paintings and has built an internationally recognized practice while balancing her own studio work with full-time employment in other artists’ studios. Rather than waiting for more free time, Nancy developed systems that allow her to create consistently, stay focused, and make meaningful progress toward long-term goals. Her approach is built on planning, prioritization, and understanding exactly what each day is working toward. In this deep dive, Nancy shares how she balances full-time work with a prolific studio practice, why planning your goals may matter more than planning your days, and how structuring your time intentionally can unlock creativity rather than restrict it. ”Whatever your biggest goal is, go one louder. If you're aiming for even bigger than you think you can even get, you're still going to go farther than you thought you were originally” — Nancy Hollinghurst Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:44 The Head Vase Series and Creative Process 04:36 Planning Systems and Production Schedules 05:46 Building Community Through Group Shows 06:39 A Magical Escape - Playing with Reality 08:01 Working at Jeff Koons, Amy Sherald studios and Colossal Media 11:03 Balancing Studio Work with Full-Time Employment 13:27 How to Start Planning Toward Bigger Goals 15:11 Engaging the Noose - A Self-Portrait 17:23 Student Debt and Alternative Education 19:17 Final Advice for Artists Connect with Nancy Website: https://www.nancyhollinghurst.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nancyhollinghurst/ Resources Jeff Koons: https://www.jeffkoons.com/ Amy Sherald studios: https://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/11577-amy-sherald/ Colossal Media: https://www.colossalmedia.com/studios Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, painter Belinda Nadwie is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Belinda is an Australian artist whose deeply personal paintings have attracted collectors around the world for more than a decade… while remaining completely rooted in her own voice and vision. Rather than chasing trends, she focused on developing a style that felt unmistakably hers and building a business structure that could support it long-term. In this deep dive, Belinda shares why finding your style changes everything about building an art career, how she balances commissions, galleries, and online sales without losing creative momentum, and why understanding your value is essential to sustaining your practice financially. ”If you really put your heart and soul into things, you really believe it and it's your passion, there's someone who will love it, so you don't need to worry.” — Belinda Nadwie Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:36 “Free and in Love” Intuition-Based Painting 03:41 Morning Routine and Visualization Practice 04:40 Starting Out as an Artist 06:18 Building an Online Presence 08:33 Multiple Income Streams 09:36 Managing Commissions 12:45 Business Systems and Processes 14:37 “If Only He Knew” Expanding the Practice 18:29 Gallery Relationships 19:27 “Still Life and Exuberance” painting 20:37 Key Lessons from 10 Years Connect with Belinda Website: https://belindanadwie.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/belindanadwieart/ Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast , fine art photographer Jonah Allen is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Based on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Jonah is known for his immersive ocean photography, collected internationally and exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States. As a surfer, photographer, and creative entrepreneur, he built his career around the rhythms of the ocean… combining lifestyle, creativity, and business into a path that feels aligned rather than draining. In this deep dive, Jonah shares how living near the water shaped both his artistic voice and his business decisions, why artists need to develop their work deeply before trying to monetize it, and how learning uncomfortable skills like marketing, sales, and relationship-building gave him more freedom and control over his career. This episode offers a practical look at building a creative life intentionally… where the goal isn’t just making art, but creating a life that continues to give you energy over the long term. ”I just saw visual art and photography being the vehicle that would create the most aligned lifestyle that I wanted.” — Jonah Allen Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 02:03 Sea Study #42 Origins: Two Lifelong Obsessions 02:31 Capturing Long Shutter Effects and Wave Focus 02:55 Underwater Camera Process and Reviewing Footage 03:14 Jonah’s Surf-and-Camera Timeline and Life Alignment 04:37 Early Career Failures, Art School, and Early Monetization Attempts 05:11 Building a Body of Work and Discovering a Recognizable Voice 06:03 Rejection, Persistence, and Learning by Doing 07:15 Turning Rejection into Momentum: Curators and Major Deals 08:26 Inflection Points: Self-Published Book and Community Education 09:24 Learning Skills Through Doing: Growth Mindset and Marketing Education 10:54 Competition and Ongoing Learning 1 2:00 Designing a Life with Research, Data, and Team Leadership 15:46 Building Collector Relationships and Support Networks Connect with Jonah Website: https://jonahallen.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonahallenstudio/ Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, gallery owner, author, and Professional Artist Association Faculty member Jason Horejs is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Jason has spent decades on the business side of the art world, helping artists understand how galleries actually work, how collectors make buying decisions, and why most artists lose opportunities simply by failing to follow up. In this deep dive, Jason breaks down how to approach galleries in a way that gets real responses, the follow-up systems most artists never implement, and how consistent communication turns interested viewers into long-term buyers and collectors. Rather than relying on chance, Jason explains how artists can create momentum through repeatable systems, broader exposure, and professional relationship-building. ” If you're looking for exposure, galleries should certainly be a consideration, and if you're not in galleries, you're missing out on the opportunity to have people who are seeking art see that work.” — Jason Horejs Timestamps 00:01 Introduction 01:47 Jason’s Core Message on Exposure 02:54 Galleries and the Internet as a Hybrid Career Strategy 03:41 Building Digital Portfolios and Using Email + Online Approaches 04:51 Gallery vs Direct-Sales Tension and How It Gets Managed 06:39 Benefits of Cultivated Audiences for Artists and Galleries 07:40 Clear Plan for Getting Representation: 100 Target Galleries 08:13 Submission Strategy: Persistence, Follow-ups, and No-Response Handling 09:05 Follow-up With Collectors: Turning “I’ll Think About It” Into Sales 13:55 Consistent Email Marketing Frequency and Using Content in Parallel 15:38 Newsletter Growth: Staying in Front of People Over Time 19:22 Follow-up as the Missing Sales Piece + Practical Purchase Rate Examples 22:38 Long-Term Impact of Ongoing Follow-up Connect with Jason Website: https://reddotblog.com/about/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddotblog/ Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, painter and sculptor Kasia Frankowicz is featured by the Professional Artist Association ( https://professionalartist.com/join ), the world’s fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists. Based in Melbourne, Kasia creates bold work infused with humor. Alongside her original pieces, she has built a consistent income stream through prints… making her work accessible while expanding her collector base beyond high-ticket sales. Rather than relying on a massive audience, Kasia focused on visibility, proving that print sales can become a reliable part of an artist’s business. In this deep dive, Kasia breaks down how to generate consistent income through prints, what actually drives sales (and where most artists go wrong), and how showing up across platforms creates steady demand over time. ” Art should be for everyone and I don't subscribe to the idea that prints make your work less valuable.” — Kasia Frankowicz Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:22 "Wild Westie" artwork 02:38 Starting Over During COVID 07:28 Growing Up in Western Sydney 08:42 Why Kasha Sells Prints 10:02 Documenting Work for Print Sales 11:59 Pricing Prints 13:11 Getting Your Work Photographed 14:56 Using Ads to Drive Sales 16:36 "Kitchen" artwork 17:33 Showing Up Everywhere Online 18:54 Building Connections Through Art Fairs 20:46 "1999" artwork 21:33 Staying Grateful as You Grow 22:39 Advice for Artists Who Don't Fit In Connect with Kasia Website: https://kasia-studio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kasia.artist/ Learn more about The Professional Artist Association: Mentoring: Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art income: https://professionalartist.com/apply Membership: Join 1,000+ committed artists around the world for less than $1, £ or € a day: https://professionalartist.com/join Free Letter: Join 50,000+ artists getting Free advice & inspiration every week: https://professionalartist.com/podcast/#join-free-artist-letter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professionalartistaccelerator Ready to take the next step in your art career?

Gabrielle is an American artist working between the United States and Turkey, who made the unconventional decision to move abroad and pursue her career without an established network, local connections, or even fluency in the language.
