Artist Academy

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...

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...

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.

Just send me an email or direct message and I will do my best to get them on...

The Power of Practice and Networking with Rich Marks This week’s episode features Arizona based muralist, Rich Marks. I met Rich through this month’s January Paint Challenge: 31 paintings in 31 days.

There were so many days that I saw his work an...

She has been through a lot in her lifetime and has come through it better than ever....

In this episode I share several stories of how I work with clients on a budget. It can sometimes be tough getting businesses to pay full price, especially in the Midwest, but just because they can’t afford it doesn’t mean all is lost. It’s completely okay to settle for a trade when it’s mutually beneficial. www.artistacademy.co www.instagram.com/artbyandreaehrhardt

This week’s episode features one of my favorite oil painters from the UK, Katy Jade Dobson. There’s just something about Katy’s style of art that I’m so infatuated with. Her use of color and combining facial elements with wildlife is just so unique and unlike anything else I’ve ever come across. It actually really inspires me to think outside my box and to possibly create something a little bit di...
