Welcome to Studio Notes with Sasha DeWitt - a podcast for creatives where I'll be chatting with a variety of artists about their creative journeys as well as the nuts and bolts of what goes on behind the scenes when making artwork. This podcast is for artist and art lovers alike. I hope it'll inspire those who are thinking about pursuing art as a career as well as those who are already on their journey.

Episode Notes:

In this episode I interview painter Rebecca Tucker.  She creates beautiful works of art that explore “the concept of examining organic and abstract forms, defined by negative space. Taking something that is not there, the space between things, and making that the subject of the paintings.”

In this episode we chat about:

• her journey as an artist;

• running an interior design business;

• juggling family life, business and painting;

• being able to shift during lockdown into painting more;

• having an amazing and supportive business partner; 

• curating for interior design, exhibitions and open studios;

• her concepts and process with paintings;

• the importance of experimenting in her practice;

• her time on the Turps offsite course;

• visual consistency versus allowing for exploration;

• how people engage with art;

• parameters that allow for freedom when painting;

• knowing when a painting is finished…or not;

• managing commissions;

• starting Gallery at Number 19;

• what the future holds.
