How to Build an Art Business That Suits You and Your Lifestyle [61]

This week, we are joined by a special guest. Laura Horn is an Australian abstract artist who is also a successful podcaster, teacher and businesswoman. Over the years, she has worked to establish a regular art practice and build a full-time business while also juggling responsibilities as a wife and mother.  

In this episode, we learn how Laura turned a short sabbatical from her office job into a full-time art career – at first simply as a painter and then later as a creator of online courses. We discuss how important it is to build a business that aligns with your values and share our challenges with balancing work and rest-time.  

Our conversations also spans blogs, Instagram, social media trolling, podcasts and the challenges (and joys) of working closely with your spouse.  In ‘what’s inspired?’ Laura shares her love of mixed media, Alice is thrilled with new frames, and Louise has decided you’re never too old for something you really love.
