#42: How to Make it Big as an Artist & Finding the Off Switch - Geoffrey & Rowena from Martinich&Carran

Join us for our chat with professional artists Geoffrey Carran & Rowena Martinich. They talk about artistic risk, the intricate balance of life and art, and the necessary hustle when it comes to the business side of art. Make no bones, for Geoffrey and Rowena, art is a 24/7 thing.

Despite their success to date, Geoffrey & Rowena both agree there is always that sense of hesitancy that never goes away as a creative—something that Geoffrey describes as “never-ending stage fright.”

There is so much more too. Tune in for their take on work ethic, curiosity, business skills, and the inevitable burnout and how to deal with it.

In this episode you will learn:

How to keep the ball rolling as an artist and running with momentum
Why it’s important to walk away or take a break from artistic work
The nature of working with different clients and commissions
Having a firm belief that "your art is your business"
The common challenges of doing art full-time and as a partnership

About Geoffrey Carran & Rowena Martinich:

Melbourne-based artists Rowena Martinich and Geoffrey Carran work both independently and collaboratively to create giant public murals and collectible artworks. Their art has adorned buildings and spaces throughout Australia, as well as prominent international commissions and exhibitions.

Their work as individual artists informs and inspires their collaborative projects, marrying their two diverse practices of vibrant Abstract Expressionism and Representational painting. Martinich&Carran's projects often blur the boundaries between art and design with a strong focus on colour.
