Artist Academy

This week’s episode features Washington based soul painting artist Julie Kluh. I so enjoyed getting to meet Julie through this interview and it’s conversations like this that really make me so happy that I started a podcast. I love talking to artists and travelers. It’s so rare to meet someone who just gets it when it comes to wanting to live outside the box and experience the world according thei...

This is episode number 4 of the student spotlight series where every Monday I interview my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. This week I’m doing two separate student interviews, the first is Rachel Wysocki and then Hailey Mae Scott. So let’s start with Rachel w...

Today is a solo show all about how to inform and capture someone’s attention within the first 15 seconds of meeting them. We are going to go over why this subject is important and how you can create a pitch of your own! www. ArtistAcademy.co www.instagram.com/artbyandreaehrhardt

This week’s episode features Austria based fantasy artist Raffaela Cech. I am completely obsessed with Raffaela’s style of painting. She does these gaming inspired, fantasy-like scenes that are literally out of this world. She is a true example of an artist who is sticking to her niche and thriving from it. We talk about why she chose this niche and how she’s getting commissions for a subject so s...

This is episode number 3 of the student spotlight series where every Monday I interview one of my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. This week I’m interviewing Austin Fabinski. Austin is a former elementary art teacher turned full time artist still in the very b...

This week’s episode is a little different in that we flipped the mic with Pratiksha interviewing me for a change. If you remember Pratiksha from a couple episodes ago where I interviewed her about her art business and at the end of it she said “Hey! Why don’t I interview you for a change?” So that’s what we did. In this episode I talk a bit about the business I started before becoming an artist an...

This week’s episode features sculptor, potter, and painter William Jeffrey Jones. I could listen to William talk about his stories as a sculptor all day. Did you know that he used to sculpt the figurines of famous people like Shaq, Magic Johnson, Buffy the vampire slayer, the list goes on When you purchase these figurines at any Walmart, if you look on the very bottom of the box you’ll see William...

This is episode number 2 of the student spotlight series where every Monday I interview one of my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. This week I’m interviewing Keila Small. She has been a member for almost a year now and has made so many improvements in her art...

This week’s episode is a recording from a live in our Artist Academy Advanced group all about the legal side of the art business. Contracts, LLC’s, copyrights,.. all the fun things that attorney Corey Kilburn joins us to every so nicely explain. He explains the rights we have as artists with putting our artwork online, what a good contract should include, and ultimately how we can legally protect...

This week’s episode features Brooklyn based muralist and sculptor Jenna Morello. I just got off this interview with her and I just want to warn you that there is a little bit of language in this episode, nothing too crazy, but if you have kids around then maybe just stick to headphones. Language aside, Jenna is so cool. I felt myself becoming my own version of a Brooklyn badass the longer we spoke...

We are starting a student spotlight series where every Monday I interview a couple of my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. Life is all about communication! This week I invited Jodi to go live with me and it was so cool getting to know her because she’s done so...

This week’s episode features groovy California based surf artist Drew Brophy. Drew is kind of a celebrity in my mind right along with his wife, Maria Brophy. If you don’t know the Brophys then I highly encourage every single artist to click the link in the notes and buy Maria’s book: Art Money Success. It’s seriously a game changer and the reason why I know so much about them and their art career....

This week’s episode features Austin, Texas, based artist Pratiksha of PMuirArt. Pratiksha has had an interesting segway into the art world because her previous job required her to sell, sell, sell to the point of actually getting used to hearing the word “no.” And that’s what sales is, right? Giving your pitch to whoever might need your product, or in our case our art product, and letting them dec...

This week’s episode is a bit of a twist because I am being interviewed by California based artist and past podcast guest eKaterina Sky. She messaged me a few days ago asking some questions about TikTok because she was thinking about starting an account herself, so she brought up the idea of going live on Instagram to talk about it. Of course, I was all about it! TikTok is my new favorite platform...

This week’s episode features Appalachia based illustrator Rosalie Haizlett. It was a treat getting to interview Rosalie. I do a little bit of research on every guest, basically enough to know that someone is legit before I interview them, but I like to not know everything about them before the interview. I like to keep some of it as a surprise and I was so taken back by how far Rosalie has gotten...

This week’s episode features New Orleans based gallery owner, Casey Langteau. I was so excited to hear that Casey had already heard about the podcast and listened to a few episodes before I even asked her to be a guest. I have been podcasting for almost 1 year and it has been a very slow growth but has been picking up quite a bit as of lately which I am super happy about! With this interview, I al...

This week’s episode features New Mexico based sculptor Geoffrey Gorman. Geoffrey applied to be on the podcast a few weeks ago and as I was checking out his Instagram to see if he was a good fit I was thinking, “This guy just looks really interesting.” I saw that he was teaching all over North America and creating a very different style of art than I’m used to, and all of that totally piqued my int...

In this episode I talk about what going live is, how to go about it, what to do while the camera is on, and how to maximize your results. We are currently doing a 14 day live challenge in the Artist Academy Advanced and I would love to invite everyone else to participate! The rules are simple: Go live for 5 minutes every day for 14 days straight to earn a free month’s membership! Just message me a...

This week’s episode features Florida based muralist and gallery owner, Alyssa Marie. I was referred to Alyssa by one of my Artist Academy Advanced students, Lyssa England, who just raved about how positive, ambitious, and overall amazing Alyssa is; and she was right. Alyssa is one of those infectiously positive, instantly friendly kind of people. She’s living the dream in Florida running her own g...

This episode features Arkansas based street artist, Jason Jones. I was so excited to finally know who the artist was that created this giant, awesome piece of artwork in my hometown. Jason painted this huge robot style mural on a really large building in a popular development area and from the first time I saw a photo of it I was hooked. I thought, “Wow. I would have never thought to do that.” His...

This week’s episode features an up and coming photographer from my hometown, Katy Sarnowsky. This was kind of an on the whim podcast episode in that I asked Katy the day before she came to visit me if I could record our conversation. The purpose being that I get several messages from artists or just new businesswomen wanting to pick my brain, so this is a chance for anyone to be a fly on the wall...

This episode features a watercolorist from Australia, Tony White. I think this interview is going to be very relatable to a lot of you parents out there because Tony is trying to make it work with a couple very young kids at home. He’s trying to squeeze in painting time between being a full-time parent and doing all the things to run his art business. Tony does video, and you all know how interest...
