• Ask An Artist - Creating a Body of Work

  In this episode, Peter and Tom dive into something that sounds a bit grand and serious, but actually sits right at the heart of what Artists do — creating a body of work. Whilst it might sound like something that happens after twenty years and a few gallery retrospectives, really, it’s just about building a thread of consistency and intent in what you make. Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, printmaker or photographer, having a body of work isn’t about quantity — it’s about connection. Peter and Tom discuss how that develops, how to recognise it and, as always, some top tips and best practice from their experience as working Artists.This Podcast is sponsored by Rosemary & Co Brushes, Jackson’s Art Supplies and Search Press publishers.For more information about our sponsors, please visit:Rosemary & Co Brushes: www.rosemaryandco.comJackson’s Art supplies: www.jacksonsart.comSearch Press publishers: www.searchpress.comTom's website: tomshepherdart.comPeter's website: peterkeegan.comPodcast website: www.askanartistpodcast.com

• Ask An Artist - Interview with Claudia Kennaugh: commercial pricing and cultivating the gallery relationship

  In this episode, Peter interviews art industry expert, Claudia Kennaugh. Claudia is the founder of Art and People; a Bristol based art advisory service, offering guidance to artists and collectors. Before setting up Art and People, Claudia worked in the arts for 15 years, first as a musician and performing artist, then gallery manager, art advisor and partner of the Hollywood Road Gallery in London. She has seen both sides of the table - the artist’s perspective, but also the gallery’s - and she now helps artists navigate that sometimes rather opaque system of pricing, sales, and professional relationships. For more information about Claudia and Art & People, please visit: www.artandpeople.coThis Podcast is sponsored by Rosemary & Co Brushes, Jackson’s Art Supplies and Search Press publishers.For more information about our sponsors, please visit:Rosemary & Co Brushes: www.rosemaryandco.comJackson’s Art supplies: www.jacksonsart.comSearch Press publishers: www.searchpress.comTom's website: tomshepherdart.comPeter's website: peterkeegan.comPodcast website: www.askanartistpodcast.com
