Fan Favorite Fridays: Meredith Kinney on Building a Distinctive Style Across Art, Design & Pattern

Welcome to Fan Favorite Fridays — a replay series where I reshare the most-loved episodes from The Art Coaching Club podcast, especially for newer listeners or longtime fans who want a meaningful re-listen. This week’s rerun features Meredith Kinney, and it’s one you really loved when it first aired. In this conversation, Meredith shares her journey from a long career in graphic design and branded environments to building a fine art practice rooted in botanicals, pattern, and visual storytelling. We talk about how her background in large-scale design informs her work today — and how she’s thoughtfully expanding her art beyond the canvas into wallpaper, pattern, and product collaborations. In this episode, we cover: How Meredith blended graphic design, fine art, and mixed media into a cohesive style The creative experimentation that led her to her current body of work Marketing art without feeling “salesy” Using Instagram and email in a way that feels authentic and sustainable Thinking long-term about art as both a practice and a brand If you’re an artist navigating the space between fine art, design, and creative entrepreneurship — or thinking about how your work could live in more than one format — this episode is especially worth revisiting. Whether this is your first listen or your second (or third), Fan Favorite Fridays is a reminder that some conversations only get better with time. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
