| 117. Inside my Solo Exhibition at Art Gallery of Ballarat | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:21:09 | |
Hi friends and welcome to episode 117. It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat. It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril. I’ve created a full guided tour for you on my YouTube channel. I really hope you head on over there to check it out, because the audio for this episode makes a whole lot more sense when you can see the artwork. But nevertheless, I know that many of you prefer to listen rather than look while painting in the studio, so I wanted to make it available to you here on the podcast as well. I’ll be sure to leave the link to the video in the show notes so you can check that out too. This episode also includes an absolutely brilliant address given by my dear friend and fellow artist, Dr Louisann King. at the opening celebration held at the gallery on 8th March, which also happened to be International Women’s Day. It was so incredibly eloquent and brought so much depth and understanding about this body of work, that I really wanted to include it in full.
I also just wanted to mention, that in May and June I’m teaching my first in-person 2 day painting workshops since before Covid. I’m running them with the beautiful crew at Artable in May and June. The workshop on the Gold Coast in June has sold out, which is wonderful. But there are still a few spots available at my Melbourne workshop on 4th and 5th of May.

| 116. I got Accepted into a Master of Visual Art | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:25:28 | |
It’s been a while between episodes, so in this chat I’m filling you in on some rather big changes that have been happening in my art practice and, well, my whole life as a consequence. As I’ve been working on my latest solo exhibition ‘An Ornamental Education’ (Art Gallery of Ballarat 7th-14thMarch 2024), I’ve been working intimately with historical sources for the first time, and it has lit a big fire in me for this method of making research-based artwork. It gradually became clear to me, with my art history background, that what I had created already would be a great foundation for a MA research project. This raised the question for me- is returning to post graduate research something that is calling to me after 25 years away from academia? As it turns out, there were so many yeses that have presented themselves to this question overt the past 6 months, that this is indeed what will be starting in about 3 month’s time. Join me for this cozy studio chat as I walk you through how this latest evolution in my art career has transpired and why I have made this choice to return to life as a post-graduate student. And if you’re a visual person like me and would like to see me in the studio alongside some lovely footage of me painting for my latest exhibition, then be sure to pop on over Links: View the full YouTube video of this episode here: https://youtu.be/umXrl1yXqSI Donate the price of a coffee to support this podcast on my KOFI page (thank you!): https://ko-fi.com/Y8Y0PTP3J

| 107. Keeping Focused on the joy of Painting with Marnie McKnight | 29 Aug 2022 | 01:05:29 | |
In today’s interview, I’m chatting with Irish-born, Sydney-based artist Marnie McKnight. I first fell in love with Marnie’s beautiful abstract expressionist artwork over on Blue Thumb. Since getting to know more about her, I’ve marveled at how she moves through different styles of painting and mediums in her practice with ease. We had a great conversation about how Marnie keeps focused on the joy of the painting and how this focus has shaped her thriving art business. We chat through how she approaches selling artwork without a huge social media following and how she has gained clarity on her client base who have become extremely loyal collectors. In this episode, we talked about:

In today’s episode, Steph and I are chatting through our processes with overcoming limiting beliefs we’ve held in the past and exploring opportunities that we once thought we’d left behind. For me, this has happened in my desire to exhibit, which I never thought that I would do again. In this episode, I unpack some of my process of realizing that this was something that I really wanted to do again and then going on a journey to heal old wounds and create permission for myself to do that. For Steph, it’s happened in coming back to realize that she wanted to fully embrace a ceramics practice and heal old wounds around poverty that had previously made her feel like this was out of her reach. This is a super-juicy episode where we dive deep into personal histories and journeys toward a place where we are truly in love with, and excited by our art practices.

In this episode we reveal how a time-lapse video can bring clarity, clues and mindfulness to the mid-zone of a painting process.

We talk about: · Shifting the goal posts and learning how to loosen up when you’re used to creating more resolved art pieces. · Trusting that the ‘history’ of the canvas will shine through and how to keep going even when you think you’ve stuffed it up. · Finding the clues in your work for future paintings · Using time-lapse video as a tool to gain a fresh perspective on your art.

| 105. Abstract Painting and Dopamine Design with Maggi McDonald | 01 Aug 2022 | 00:55:46 | |
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Sydney-based artist and surface designer Maggi McDonald. Known for her bold use of color and signature palette knife style, Maggi has always been creative. But it wasn’t until her son started pre-school and she confronted a period of depression after suffering miscarriages, that Maggi discovered the healing power of art and she decided to study design. During her studies, Maggi discovered that painting was calling her and since that time she’s built a global art and surface pattern design business. During this conversation, Maggi and I discovered that we share many parallels in our art journeys. She is incredibly generous in sharing her journey and so many great tips for emerging artists in this beautiful conversation. I really hope enjoy the episode. In this episode, we talked about:

| 1. Bringing a Body of Artwork to Completion. | 22 Oct 2019 | 00:26:56 | |
We're off and running with the Susan Nethercote Studio Insiders Art Podcast! So let's dive straight in. In this episode I introduce artist Laura Day, an emerging abstract artist preparing for her first solo exhibition. Laura also happens to be my studio assistant and all-round beautiful human. Listen in as we delve into the questions this process raises and I guide her along this path of becoming a professional artist. You can be sure we are tackling some of the big stuff in this podcast and we’re diving straight in to a big, multifaceted question- how to bring a body of work to completion. I share my insights and strategies of how to go about things like: ⦁Learning what finished ‘feels’ like for you ⦁How to divide up a large body of work into ‘families’ and identify the different styles that are emerging. ⦁Allowing yourself to learn and grow as an emerging artist within the context of an exhibition. ⦁Using social media as a testing ground for what’s working and what isn’t. ⦁Utilising an exhibition as a marketing research tool. I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on this episode and you can join the conversation over on my Instagram @susan.nethercote. I’d love to hear if bringing your art to completion is one of your struggles? Or maybe you have some of your own tips for this process?

I’m so happy to be back with today’s episode where Steph and I are unpacking the subject of collaborations. This can be a bit of a buzzword out there in the online world, but the reality is that collaboration can take on several different faces. Join Steph and I as we walk through many of the different forms that collaboration can take. We also dip into where collaborations cross over into the world of licensing and how the two can be very intertwined. I really hope you enjoy the episode. In this episode, we talked about:

| 103. Building a multifaceted art business with Anna Price | 30 May 2022 | 00:58:38 | |
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with fellow Aussie artist Anna Price. Anna is a Sydney-based artist who began painting full-time in 2019 after craving time away from her screen-based interior design career. Growing up she was constantly drawing, and she’s circled back around to art as an adult and Mum of four. Anna paints intuitively, unscripted and untrained. She draws on her creative intelligence to come up with multiple styles of busy abstract expressionist and geometric style artworks. Her paintings are predominately large scale and involve huge amounts of bold colour. Her inspiration comes from repetition, scale, her surrounding environment and children’s literature. Anna and I covered a lot of ground in this inspiring conversation, as she’s fit a lot into the past few years as her art career has rapidly blossomed. We chat through her experience with commissions and why she doesn’t do them anymore and mounting her first exhibition in her own gallery space. We also chat about her experience creating a repeat pattern shop and exploring making ‘art sweaters’. There is so much more in this fantastic conversation with Anna, who is incredibly generous with her information. In this episode, we talked about:

| 102. Teaching what you know | 16 May 2022 | 00:50:43 | |
In today’s episode, Steph and I are talking about teaching what you know as an artist. Steph talks about her experience teaching in-person workshops and delivering teaching for institutions. And I talk about my experience teaching in-person workshops, retreats and online courses. We talk through how teaching can be an important income stream for artists seeking to generate a bit more of a regular payday. We also talk through the pros and cons of each method of teaching and which we prefer best. As timing would have it, I am also so excited to share with you, that my new e-course ‘Be Like Water- A Watercolour e-course to Soothe the Soul’ is here. This course teaches my unique approach to watercolor that is a unique blending of eastern and western techniques and als I really hope you enjoy the episode. In this episode, we talked about:

| 101. Painting Australian Botanicals with Lizzie Alsop | 01 May 2022 | 01:05:40 | |
In today’s episode I have a lovely interview with fellow Aussie artist Lizzie Alsop. Lizzie is a full time contemporary artist who works from her home studio on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. She’s been creative all her life and launched into her full time art career after a move to the coast fourteen years ago. Her artwork is a joyful and colorful mix of abstract and realism. Lizzie loves to create and express the wonder of her natural environment with abstract layers of geometric shapes and botanicals which are mainly Australian Natives. Much of her inspiration comes from spending time walking the coastal tracks, and ocean swimming close to her home. Lizzie and I had a great chat about what it’s like to be an artist located in the country and coming from a country background. We talk through her process of finding her second career as a professional artist and navigating the way to success without a degree in art. With lots of practical insights to how Lizzie has approached collaborations, created prints, tea-towels and also exhibited in a number of solo and group shows, this interview contains a wealth of information for emerging artists. I really hope you enjoy the episode. In this episode, we talked about:

| 100. Unitasking vs Multitasking | 04 Apr 2022 | 00:46:14 | |
I can’t believe we’ve created 100 episodes of this little podcast. It’s been such a joy to connect with you in this way over the past couple of years and I’m so grateful to each and every one of you for tuning and sharing the journey with me. I love the connection with you and with creatives all over the world that I’m able to nurture thanks to the podcast. It’s been the perfect way for this little introvert to deepen my connection with other artists and such a pleasure to be able to share it with you. To celebrate 100 episodes and to say thank you to you for supporting the podcast, I’m having a flash sale on my e-courses from the 5-8th April 2022. So if you’d like 20% off any of my e-courses or bundles, just use the coupon code 100, that’s the number 100 at the checkout. Simply follow the links over on www.susannethercotestudio.com/online-classes to find your course. In today’s episode, Steph and I are chatting about unitasking vs. multitasking in our art practices and businesses. We dive deep into what I have specifically discovered during my ‘painting as a practice’ months- that unitasking for extended periods of time is generally when I make my best work. I’ve also discovered similar benefits of having extended periods of focus on other tasks such as making e-courses. We chat through different practical ways that I’ve been implementing to create a loose structure in the greater picture of my work life that best supports unitasking for extending periods. I do this so I can ride my hyperfocus to its greatest benefit. In the end, we discover that when we truly accept who we are and how we are wired, therein lays the recipe for how to best approach our work style and rhythm. This is also the final episode for season 8 of the podcast as we’re about to move into school holidays here. I’ll be back with some fab new interviews and chats with Steph on 3rd of May.

| 99. Uncovering the deeper narrative of our artwork | 21 Mar 2022 | 00:34:14 | |
In today’s episode, Steph and I dive deep into the sometimes elusive question of what our art is truly about and what motivates its creation. Anyone who has ever written an artist’s statement knows how tricky this question can be to answer, particularly when it comes to articulating it for the gatekeepers of the fine art world. But this conversation goes so much deeper than that. We explore how excavating this information can help in binding together all the different avenues and mediums of our art practice. We also explore how relating to this deep level of our ‘why’ as artists can provide fuel and nourishment for the journey of becoming more masterful practitioners and free us from the never-ending grind of focusing on product and profit. I really hope you enjoy the episode. In this episode, we talked about:

| 98. Some of my favorite books | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:35:10 | |
In today’s episode I’m on my own talking about some of my favourite books that I read over the summer holidays that have just passed here. There is a pretty big range in breadth of the books that I read, but the ones I talk about in today’s episode are all ones with a focus on creative inspiration in one way or another. Some relate directly to art, some to interiors and women, some on the Eastern approaches to painting, and one is soulfully reflective. I’ve listed all of them in the show notes with links, so you can get a closer look if you like to know more. I really hope you enjoy my nerdy little deep dive into my favourite current books that are floating my creative boat. Books mentioned:

| 115. How I'm doing Historical Research to Inspire my Art | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:24:49 | |
Welcome to episode 115 of the Studio insider art podcast. Today’s episode is once again an audio extract from my latest YouTube video. If you’d like to check out the visual to everything, I’m talking about then I highly recommend that you pop on over to the YouTube video and check it out.
In this episode I’m taking you along with me as I do some historical research at the State Library of Victoria that relates to my latest exhibition. I’m researching an early Victorian female Botanical artist and writer called Louisa Anne Meredith, who migrated from England to Tasmania in the 1830’s. Her writing and illustration is influencing the artwork I am creating for my upcoming 2024 exhibition ‘The Garden Within’ and I wanted to take the opportunity to view some of these very old books of hers in person.
I’ll walk you through all the gorgeous old books I view in the State Library Heritage reading room, including some that are enormous and incredibly beautifully illustrated! And I’ll also share with you a magical discovery I made while I was there that was so inspiring to me.
Then I take you back into the studio and show you a sample of the work I’ve been making that directly relates to Louisa-Anne Meredith and the other female botanical artists of the colonial era.
I really hope you enjoy this inside look at how I go about doing historical research to inspire my art and how this can be a rich and rewarding part of the creative process. In this episode, you’ll learn about:

| 97. Exploring art prizes and grants | 21 Feb 2022 | 00:42:15 | |
In today’s episode, Steph and I are unpacking the world of art prizes and grants. We talk through various aspects of this world- such as how prizes and grants differ from each other and what the experience of applying for each is like. We also talk about the exposure to the risk of failure in this process and how, for someone like me, this can be disabling. But for Steph, she has found that she’s been able to move on from hearing no and find her way through this. I was recently the recipient of an art prize, which surprised no one more than me, and it’s made me realize that it is actually worth the effort to apply for opportunities for art funding that are out there. So if you’ve been thinking about applying for art prizes or grants, this is a great episode to help you build your bravery and learn about what to expect. In this episode, we talked about:

| 96. Passion for Pigment: Interview with Steven Patterson CEO of Derivan Matisse | 07 Feb 2022 | 00:49:36 | |
Today's episode is a real treat for all the art supply nerds out there. Steven Patterson is the CEO of Derivan, a family-owned Sydney-based company that manufactures one of my favourite brands of acrylic paints: Derivan Matisse. Many of the Aussie artists out there would likely have used a Derivan product at one time or another as they were the first company to manufacture student grade acrylics back in the 1950s when his father started the company with a couple of partners. Steven grew up at the factory and started off working in the lab in the day and studying chemistry at night. He's a multi-passionate creative and innovative CEO that has been involved with the creation of a number of unique products, many of which have been inspired by the requests coming from artists. He also continues to strives to make the factory and the products he makes as environmentally friendly as possible. I really hope you enjoy learning more about this unique paint company and the man behind it. In this episode, we talked about:

| 94: The Advantages of being a Tangent Queen | 20 Dec 2021 | 00:37:14 | |
In today’s episode, Steph and I are discussing our mutual tendency to go off on unexpected tangents in our artwork. In the world of art business, honing on one style that sells is what we are often encouraged to do. But as this conversation unfolds, we realise how vitality important following these tangents is for our emotional, spiritual and intellectual wellbeing. We also realise that it is an essential component to building integrity and professionalism as an artist in the longer term. This is also the final podcast episode for 2021. The summer holidays are in full swing here in Australia, and now that we are free to travel, I’m going to be taking advantage of it and spending lots of time away from the studio with my family for most of January. We’ll be back at some point in late January or early February with a brand new season. I’m also going to be sticking to the fortnightly rhythm with episodes, as this shift has been a game changer for me and allowed me much more time in front of the easel. And let’s face it, that’s what we’re all chasing right? Thanks so much for all your support of the podcast for another great year. We cherish you guys and love all your feedback, so keep it coming! Take care until then and I hope you have a truly beautiful holiday season. Episode Highlights:

| 93. Managing Downturns in Sales | 06 Dec 2021 | 00:37:06 | |
Hi and welcome to episode 93 of the studio insider art podcast. Have you been experiencing a downturn in art sales over the past few months? It’s something that Steph and I have both been experiencing, so we’re wondering if other artists out there, particularly in Australia, are experiencing this too? In many ways, this is not surprising to us, given that we have only just come out of two years of lockdown where we live. Our capital Melbourne has been the most locked-down city in the world, and we can see how this has really affected mental health on a mass level in our state and consequently people’s desire and financial ability to buy art. As often happens to creatives, when our work stops selling, we can tend to take this a bit personally and start telling ourselves all kinds of stories, true and imagined, about why this may be the case. And for each of us, that has been a bit of a journey over the past few months. Join us as we dive deep into how we are managing these times when we find ourselves valuing our worth by how much we are, or are not, selling. In this episode, we talked about:

| 92. The Art of Self-Publishing and Valuing Your Voice with Jules Ostara | 22 Nov 2021 | 00:50:54 | |
Hi and welcome to episode 92 of the studio insider art podcast. In today’s episode, I’m chatting with the artist and author Jules Ostara. Julia Ostara, aka Jules, is a lifelong explorer, artist, author, and creator of 2 inspiring oracle card decks. Jules lives in the ancient Appalachian Mountains with twin boys, a guitar man, and a few feisty cats. Jules loves to see people shine from the inside out while discovering the depths of their wisdom and wonder. She encourages this through her books and fun creative courses. Making art helped mend her broken heart after her mom died from ovarian cancer in 2010. She hopes to carry on a legacy of love and zest for life. Jules and I first met many years ago in an online class and have stayed in touch over the years. Recently Jules approached me about featuring a few of my paintings in a book that she was creating. Of course, I said yes and today we’re talking about her beautiful new book ‘Born to Bloom Bright’ and the process she went through in putting it together and self-publishing. She also talks about how important she feels it is to value what you have to say and share as an artist, back yourself, and not wait for permission to bring your dreams to fruition. Jules is a bit of a veteran of self-publishing, not only books, but oracle card decks, so this conversation has lots of juicy tips about how to go about that process. I hope you enjoy the episode.

| 91. The reality of Instagram Reels | 08 Nov 2021 | 00:39:31 | |
Hi and welcome to episode 91 of the studio insider art podcast. Ahhh, social media. It’s both a blessing and a curse. And with the shift to Instagram becoming a video-based platform with reels recently, Steph and I sat down and had a chat about how we are navigating the new world of video on Insta. In this rather meandering episode, we explore quite a few things such as the question of if selling art on Instagram has improved or declined with the introduction of reels. We also chat about turning up videos on socials while navigating the aging process. And then have a conversation about and how the natural slowing down that comes with age is impacting how we are going about our businesses in general and the pressure we put on ourselves as creative earners. There’s a lot going on in this studio chat, so grab a cuppa and let’s dive in. In this episode, we talked about:

| How the Podcast is changing. A love-note from Suse | 18 Oct 2021 | 00:05:32 | |
Hey friends, today’s podcast is really just a short 5-minute chat explaining that until the end of 2021 you will be receiving a podcast every two weeks instead of every week. As I explain in the audio, the past few months of being in and out of more lockdowns that I can count has taken a toll on Steph and I and we need to slow things down a bit while we regain our equilibrium. I also have a loved one who is very unwell just now and I need a bit more space to be present with that situation as it unfolds. I have such massive appreciation for you all who are all so kind-hearted that I know you will understand our need to slow things down. We will still be here, just a little less. Thanks so much for your ongoing support. Suse xo | |||

| 89. My Mental Health and ADHD Journey | 11 Oct 2021 | 00:32:56 | |
Hi and welcome to episode 89 of the studio insider art podcast. It’s a new season and it’s also ADHD awareness month, so I’m kicking off with something that I haven’t done for a really long time- a solo episode. I’ve been pretty open about my journey with ADHD of late, but what I’ve not talked about much on the podcast is my journey with other aspects of my mental health such as anxiety, insomnia and depression. And the truth is, that the two are very related and intertwined. So, I’m sharing really transparently with you today about what my mental health journey has looked like, the treatments I’ve explored, and how my recent diagnosis of ADHD has brought a tonne of clarity to my overall mental health picture. I feel really nervous about sharing this so openly with you, but I know it’s this kind of transparency that can help others the most. This episode won’t be for everyone, but I know that there will be a few people out there that will probably hear something they really needed to. I also just need to say, this is a personal story. I’m not a medical professional and this episode is not medical advice. I hope it’s helpful. In this episode, I talk about:

In this episode Steph shares a fresh and raw experience where she made an expensive and painful mistake in her business. Although this wound is still fresh we step into the power of owning our mistakes and using them to propel us into protecting ourselves and our customers from them in the future. As always we manage to find the humour in our struggles and use it to step out of the shame spiral and into some solutions aligned with our hearts and neurological diversities.

| 85. Studio Hangs With Mati Rose McDonough. | 16 Aug 2021 | 00:53:01 | |
In today’s episode I’m chatting with my friend, and one of my earliest connections in the online art world, Mati Rose McDonough. Mati and I first met when I was a guest speaker in one of her courses many years ago when I was coaching, and before I knew it, I was a student in a few of her online art classes. Mati has had dozens of art shows, taught painting classes internationally and her illustrations grace all sorts of products from camera cases to giant elephant billboards as well as her own home decor line and dress line too. Mati says she still pinches herself after all these years that she is making her living as an artist. Mati has also illustrated four children’s books including “i carry your heart” written by poet E.E. Cummings. Through her workshops, books, and popular online course, she has been such a massive source of inspiration and encouragement to artists worldwide. It was such a joy to catch up with Mati, so this is a very informal and light conversation. It also happened on the first day of our 6th lockdown here where I live and also when my new puppy Suki was being a bit of a rascal, so please be aware that there are a few distractions in this conversation. I really hope you enjoy this chat with Mati Rose McDonough. Some of the key moments include;
