I like to say that your art isn’t complete until someone else experiences it. Until you’re standing in front of it and talking about it with people who are interested.

In real life. Digital-only viewing doesn’t count.

Every person who sees your work brings themselves and their background to your work—adding new layers of meaning to your original intention.

My guest for this episode is Susan Abbott, and she recognizes the importance of getting her work out of the studio and in front of people.

We cover a lot of ground in our conversation, but there are 3 themes:

  1. The value of working in series, with special attention given to the series of paintings that came from her pilgrimage on The Camino.
  2. Creating a catalog of your art and what it can do for you.
  3. Getting a museum solo exhibition and why that’s important to her.

We also discuss how Susan lost 14,000 instagram followers and rebuilt her account to where it is today (~46,000 at the time of this recording).

See if you can pick up on why it pays to dress nicely when visiting gallery.
