EPISODE 018 - Finding your niche as an artist

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In today’s episode – the last one of 2020 already (or should we say finally?)! – our guest is Nicola Bennett, a New Zealand-based abstract painter whose work is inspired by food. According to her, the sensory pleasure of cooking can be compared to that of painting, and the experience of sharing a meal is similar to the connection she likes creating with her clients. Together, Catherine and Nicola discuss this artist’s journey to becoming a professional artist and how connecting and building relationships with people interested in her work is what made her start loving marketing and sales.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><strong>Conversation Highlights:</strong></span></p> <ul> <li class="li3"><span class="s1">Why you should find what excites you about your work – and share it</span></li> <li class="li3"><span class="s1">How to balance online and offline actions</span></li> <li class="li3"><span class="s1">Why you should be kind to yourself and love your work</span></li> </ul> <p class="p5"><span class="s1"><strong>PLUS:</strong> Wanna find your niche?
