John Hallett: Bronze Sculptor - Epi. 233, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

So this was a different interview for me. My guest was John Hallett. He's a unique guy because he's a veterinarian who has just always been in love with the arts and probably should have been an artist off the bat. But he went a different route, which many artists do. He pursued a professional life with guaranteed income and stability and then toward the end of that career, they start the next one.He's actually been extremely successful already with sculpting. So he contacted me and said "You know, I would like to ask you some questions if you don't mind." He wanted to come in and just set up on time to ask questions about getting into the art world and the things he needs to do to get gallery representation as he's getting his MFA right now in Wisconsin.I said "Why don't we just do a podcast? The difference is that I want to have you ask me the questions that you need to know as far as being an artist and what's involved and the questions you have when you're going out into this world." So it's kind of a unique thing.The first half is on his life and the second half of the podcast is him interviewing me about the art world and things that he needs to be aware of and the kind of things that are going to happen when you go into it headlong.This is one of those podcasts that will be highly useful for people that are in the art world that are just starting out.
