Art + Business + Murals – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In the Art + Business + Murals Podcast, we have another epsiode in the Money Management for Artists series. Today we are talking about Superannuation (or 401K if you’re in the States). If you’re a sole trader or self-employed creative, superannuation might be one of those things you’ve put on the back burner. After all, you’re busy running your business, creating art, and juggling a million other priorities. But here’s the thing: the decisions you make about your super today can have a massive impact on your future.

In this episode, we’ll cover some key facts about inequality in super, why it’s crucial to self-contribute as a sole trader, and how you can take small, actionable steps to secure your financial future. As per usual – actionable steps and tips included!

Today on the Art + Business + Murals Podcast I am speaking with abstract artist, Natalie Parker. Her expressive paintings explore the rawness of human emotion through gestural mark making, contrasting brushstrokes and colour. With a paint brush in her hand since kindergarten, art has been the vehicle through which this introvert can express herself to the world.Formally trained with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Postgraduate Diploma of Secondary School Art Teaching, Natalie's art knowledge and experience provides her with a wealth of ideas to explore in the studio. Natalie's process begins with a colour palette and feeling in mind as she takes to the canvas. Often beginning with expressive brushstrokes and gestural mark making. As the work begins to take form she pulls back and assesses what to leave and what to remove. With layers of colour and a push and pull conversation emerging, Natalie remains in the dance of the work until resolution and peace arise.Through her work, Natalie aims to bring a sense of calm and order and show that beauty and joy can emerge in even the most challenging seasons of life. In this interview we talk about the business side of art, developing your art style and balancing parenting and art.  If you’d like to check out Natalies’s work:Website // https://www.natalieparkerartist.comInstagram // https://www.instagram.com/natalieparkerstudio/Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/natalieparkerartist/  ——— Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals PodcastIf you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: podcast@sarahsculley.com Please follow along:Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesignYou Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videosWebsite // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.

In this episode of Art + Business + Murals, I talk about Money Management for Artists: Bank Accounts. I know, it’s a little tabot to talk about money, but here’s the thing – for most of us, the number one reason we don’t work full time for ourselves is due to money. So in todays episode I share how I set up my business bank accounts and how I manage my profits and expenses. I’ve broken the money talk down into bite-sized chunks so that it doesn’t sounds overwhelming. ——— Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals PodcastIf you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: podcast@sarahsculley.com Please follow along: Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/ Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesign You Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videos Website // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.

Today I am speaking with Katie Wyer. As a child, art was Katies escape from the noise of a household of eight. It was also her favourite time filler while traveling the world with her husband.  After having four children in five years, she longed to put brush to paper without the stress of toddlers’ wandering hands getting into her oil paints or mediums.After finding the space to paint freely again, the female figure features almost exclusively in Katie’s work. Her true passion lies in connecting with her collectors through the emotions and messages that inspire her pieces, as we all learn to embrace our own beautiful mess. In this interview we talk about balancing family and business and how Katie’s family influence her art. We speak about her thriving prints and paint sales and how she found her style.  If you’d like to check out Katie’s work:Website // https://katiewyerart.comInstagram // https://www.instagram.com/katiewyerart/Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077717169378  ——— Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals PodcastIf you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: podcast@sarahsculley.com Please follow along:Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesignYou Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videosWebsite // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.
