INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
She pivoted back to painting one year ago. She won Best in Show out of 115 paintings. She got into an artist residency she almost didn't apply for. This is the summer update you didn't know you needed.
Beth Bailey sits down solo to share everything that's happened since leaning back into her painting practice, and everything that's coming this summer. Spoiler: it's a lot.
🎨 WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE
Beth shares the full picture: a two-week artist residency at Chautauqua Institution's CVA program, a print and original art launch through creative-pathways.com, community artist sales partnerships at Douglas House, and a Best in Show win at the Hanover Days exhibition that honestly floored her.
She also gets into the philosophy behind the pivot, what it feels like when the work that's been living in your head for a decade finally starts coming out, and why she believes that building genuine community means your community comes with you when you change direction.
