| You can get reach on IG but that's not the same as trust | 08 May 2026 | 00:09:13 | |
In this episode, we look at one of the biggest misconceptions artists have about social media growth: the idea that going viral is what creates a sustainable audience or sales. It’s easy to assume that one high-performing post will change everything, but reach alone doesn’t guarantee connection, trust, or buying behaviour. We explore:
This episode sets up a core shift: Which is exactly what we’ll be working on in From Noise to Known starting on 13th May.

| The mistake of treating Instagram like a gallery wall | 07 May 2026 | 00:05:17 | |
In this episode, we explore a common shift that’s happened on Instagram—and why many artists are still posting as if nothing has changed. A lot of artists are still using Instagram like a static portfolio: But the platform doesn’t really work like that anymore. I break down:
A key shift in this episode is understanding that: when you only post finished work, you’re giving people no way in. I also briefly explore how other industries (like fashion) build far richer content ecosystems—showing not just the final product, but the references, process, emotion, and world behind it. Because when people understand your world, they don’t just look at your work—they start to connect with it.

| Your posting on IG but nothing is building | 07 May 2026 | 00:10:36 | |
In this episode, we look at why so many artists feel like they’re showing up consistently on Instagram, but still aren’t seeing real momentum in their audience, engagement, or sales. If you’ve been posting your work online but it feels like everything resets every time you share something new, this episode breaks down what’s actually missing. You’ll also get a simple self-audit to apply immediately: Look at your last 9 posts and ask: would someone understand enough about my work to feel connected to it—or is it just standalone content? And a practical shift you can make straight away: Because when content is disconnected, growth feels random.

| What galleries look for in artists | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:10:23 | |
In this episode I talk about the most common question I get from artists which is how to get their work shown in galleries / how to get gallery representation. I share what I look for in an artist and it is more than the work. There's a vibe check, we're looking for credibility and how it fits into the gallery curation.

| Is 50% gallery commission really wild? | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:13:46 | |
In this episode I respond to ' 50% gallery commission is wild!' , I explain retail margins and how retailers take much more than 50% and put into context the gallery commission. I also talk about different ways that galleries work with artists. This episode covers why it is so important for an artist to have their own audience and ways of selling directly without dependency on a gallery, but to sell via galleries as a complement to your overall business. And choice. There's a lot of different ways of working and selling your art and it all comes down to choice. What works for someone else does not have to be the same for you. Art Business Foundations starts in September. Details here https://www.thecuratorssalon.com/artbizfoundations Gallery Ready program waitlist here https://www.thecuratorssalon.com/gallery-ready

| Why is ai art so triggering? | 12 Apr 2025 | 00:22:42 | |
In this episode I talk about using AI generated images as reference material for your artwork. I go on to talk about how artists are often dismissive of AI generated art and creators of Ai art calling themselves artists. I go on to talk about how other industries outside of visual arts refer to themselves as artists. And previous tech developments such as analogue to digital photography, platforms like Canva, camera phones or the ready made have triggered artists in the past as weakening their craft or diluting what it means to be an artist. Is this true or did these things just create more resources and improve visual literacy? I talk about a benefit of Ai image generation which in my opinion is the expanding vocabulary that is required to make better prompts and can help artists and art enthusiasts beyond the prompt, in talking about their art. This episode also invites listeners to notice how ai artists might be a mirror or a trigger to where they are holding themselves back, and explore their own definition of being an artist - eg is it a requirement to struggle, or have art school debt!? And I talk about staying in your lane and noticing distraction. Some of these topics such as ' is it art if it is made with AI ' are merely distractions from wider issues playing out in the world today, and to be mindful of where your attention is, when you could be channeling it into your art. There's lot to discuss in this episode.

| Michael Petry Mirror Mirror | 31 Mar 2025 | 01:07:47 | |
Michael Petry is the director at MOCA London. He is also the author of a number of books and in this episode he talks about his latest book, Mirror Mirror, The Reflective Surface in Art. Starting with Van Eyck's Arnolfini Betrothal, the book tracks the story of mirrors and the reflective surface in art through to contemporary art with mirrored surfaces inviting self reflection, 'holding up a mirror' to society and the viewers' participation in the artwork. Michael talks about how artists use the reflective surface to draw in visitors, how this affects engagement with art such as Kusama's Infinity Room and the many artists using the reflective surface for political commentary. The final chapter in the book which Michael talks about in this episode is about narcissism and the popular trend of selfies.

| Tim Fowler | 11 Dec 2024 | 00:37:09 | |
In this episode I am joined by Tim Fowler who talks about his exhibition, The Ground at the Attenborough Centre, Leicester. The Leicester based artist talks about the research that went into the exhibition which features his large scale paintings of plants that followed the same migratory pattern as his own DNA - from West Africa to the Caribbean to the UK. He talks about setting himself challenges such as painting large scale before he had any exhibiting opportunity, and selling at fairs where he wanted to be seen before any gallery represented him. Tim currently has gallery representation and we talk about the different expectations and challenges of working with commercial galleries and institutions. While both offer programming, they vary in their expectations and outcomes. While preparing for the exhibition (ends 26 January 2025) Tim worked with a film maker to create a documentary which you can watch here.

| Ghia Haddad discusses the representation of Arab Women through art | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:33:48 | |
Artist Ghia Haddad joins me on this podcast to discuss her non Euro Centric approach to textiles and mixed media art. She shares her experience of art history with a Euro-centric viewpoint and feeling outside of this as an Arab woman. Her work explores textiles and representation of Arab women through the lens of an Emirati woman. Ghia's art is something that invites interaction and touch. In this episode she talks about the Western approach to idolising of art that is to be revered, while her own art takes reference from her own culture that invites interaction through more than looking and permits touch and considers this more communal and democratic. She goes on to talk about her series I Dream In Colour which uses the bridal gown as the symbol that crosses cultures and presents it in its various ways beyond the European white bridal gown. Tap here to see the collection Decolonizing History is another of Ghia's series which represents queens from a bygone age, again reminding us that much of our knowledge of world history is told through the European lens. Hear her talk about her reimagining Cleopatra and Zenobia. See images of the artwork here

| Sharing your art prices online | 16 Jan 2024 | 00:12:12 | |
In this episode I answer a common question from artists which is ' Should I show my art prices on my website?"

| Artist Websites | 25 Sep 2021 | 00:06:19 | |
I see a lot of artists websites and I have noticed that an artist with a lot of experience can still have a poor website. Whether an artist is new to the game or they have years of experience under their belt, I have noticed their website can still be letting them down. This typically happens when they don't communicate their recent experience or upcoming events, and have not thought through the website visitor journey. So many artist websites neglect the visitor journey and their sites are in need of updating with recent and current experiences of the artists. In this episode I share some of the areas that can help you update your website and create a better visitor journey so your website really works for you. Details for my 3 month program starting 5th October can be seen here https://thecuratorssalon.com/on-being-seen

| Show Your Art - How to build an art career without a gallery | 05 Mar 2021 | 00:15:55 | |
I talk about my book, Show Your Art, How to build an art career without a gallery. I published this book in April 2020 as an ebook, then as a paperback in August 2020. In this episode I talk about writing the book, and the joy of seeing it make positive impact on the lives of the artists who it was written for. Originally aimed at artists in the early stages of their career, the book aims to empower artists to take things into their own hands rather than wait for a gallery to come calling. After all, there are more artists than galleries could ever manage.
