020 Interview With Artist Steph Wallace and How To Take Risks As An Artist

from Paint Rest Repeat: Art Business & Artist Marketing with Ros Gervay · host Ros Gervay and Laura Day

This fortnight, Laura takes the reins and brings you an interview with the inspirational artist Steph Wallace who talks about her career to date and her latest workshop offerings. Steph chats about her creativity as a child, her fine arts degree experience and her journey between then and now. Having explored all the mediums from paper cutting to textile art, Steph discusses the importance of not getting too locked into a medium. Laura and Steph chat about the idea that artists do not need to niche as hard as the industry suggests, that constant evolution is OK and that having a supportive community is the secret ingredient to living a rewarding and authentic life as an artist and creative. Based on her personal experience, Steph shares that her support network (online and in person) has helped her to turn her many ideas into change and progress. Her hot tip is to be open to where you community members may come from - they may be people who comment on your social media post or some whose podcast you listen to. They could even be a stranger who you randomly meet at a gallery in Ballarat. Steph has done all the things! She has run an art gallery; taught art classes overseas; mastered small business via her tiny furniture biz and; is now incredibly excited to be running ceramics workshops for women who are ready to carve out some time for themselves. Having experienced firsthand the benefits of creative practice for mothers and the power of art making when it comes to mental wellness, Steph runs her workshops from the heart. She also offers some advice for others wanting to run their own art workshops. We hope that you enjoy the show!
