The Independent Artist Podcast

Welcome to The Independent Artist Podcast with your hosts Douglas and Will — the show where we pull back the curtain on the real life of working artists. Art Fair Bingo: Stories You Can't Make UpWhat do threatening storms, celebrity sightings, unsolicited business advice, and tens of thousands of customer interactions have in common? They all happened during our recent whirlwind through some of the country's biggest art events.In this episode, Douglas and Will unpack the wild, funny, frustrating, and occasionally surreal moments from a stretch that included Main Street Fort Worth, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Southlake, Brookside Art Annual, and Artisphere. From keeping one eye on the radar as storms threatened to upend entire weekends, to navigating the feeling of losing control when circumstances refuse to cooperate, the road delivered no shortage of stories.Along the way, we talk about the customers who generously offered their suggestions on everything from booth design to business strategy, unexpected celebrity encounters, and the challenge of processing the overwhelming amount of information gathered from thousands of conversations with a constant stream of humanity. What do all of those interactions tell us about the shows, the art, and ourselves?Pull up a chair as we play a round of Art Fair Bingo and share the stories you simply couldn't make up—even if you tried. Every square on the card got marked during this run.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://independentartistpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastEmail [email protected] (contact us here about advertising on our show)PLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgSupport the show

Welcome to The Independent Artist Podcast with your hosts Douglas and Will — the show where we pull back the curtain on the real life of working artists. As spring show season ramps up, co-hosts Douglas Sigwarth and Will Armstrong dive into the real-life balancing act of being a working artist on the road. Fresh off a demanding Florida circuit and gearing up for a run of Texas art festivals, they unpack what it takes to juggle family life, studio production, and the nonstop pace of travel.This candid conversation explores the often unseen side of an artist’s career—managing responsibilities at home, caring for loved ones, and staying present for family while being pulled into the intense focus required to create and sell work at a high level. It’s a season where the pressure is real, the calendar is full, and keeping all the balls in the air becomes both an art and a challenge.If you’ve ever struggled to balance your creative ambitions with the people and priorities that matter most, this episode will hit home.Episode tags:Art Worth: A Festival at Clearfork- https://www.zapplication.org/event-info.php?ID=14014FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://independentartistpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastEmail [email protected] (contact us here about advertising on our show)PLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgSupport the show

Welcome to The Independent Artist Podcast with your hosts Douglas and Will — the show where we pull back the curtain on the real life of working artists. Fresh off winning Best in Show at the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, Ecuadorian artist Nathalia Toledo Barcia joins us for a deeply moving conversation about culture, soul, and the stories embedded in her work.Nathalia’s art lives at the intersection of painting and porcelain—where delicate surfaces become artifacts of memory and identity. Drawing from her Ecuadorian heritage, her paintings carry the visual language of her culture while her porcelain forms feel like relics of something timeless, as if they’ve been unearthed from a personal mythology.In this conversation, Nathalia shares a belief that resonates with many artists: every piece of art carries a piece of the maker’s soul. For her, art isn’t just an object—it’s a manifestation of spirit, a form of nourishment for both the creator and the viewer.We talk about what it means to create outside the corporate system, to live with the courage—and sometimes the naïveté—of believing that art can sustain a life. Natalia reminds us that artists are constantly evolving, constantly transforming, and that staying open to change is essential to a creative life.In a world that often measures value in productivity and profit, artists quietly become something else entirely: a form of resistance.This episode is a reminder that making art is more than a profession—it’s a way of keeping the soul alive.Episode tags:Art Worth: A Festival at Clearfork- https://www.zapplication.org/event-info.php?ID=14014FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://independentartistpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastEmail [email protected] (contact us here about advertising on our show)PLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgSupport the show

Welcome to The Independent Artist Podcast with your hosts Douglas and Will — the show where we pull back the curtain on the real life of working artists. Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth (https://www.sigwarthglass.com/) and Will Armstrong (http://www.willarmstrongart.com/) co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.In this episode, we sit down with Erin Curry (https://erincurryart.storenvy.com/), an artist whose work is deeply informed by both science and lived experience. With a background in biology and a childhood shaped by parents who collected fine art and brought her to art fairs from an early age, Erin’s creative language is grounded in observation, systems, and an intimate understanding of how form, pattern, and meaning emerge over time.Our conversation moves squarely into the present moment—one marked by political tension, the rise of fascist ideologies, and the ever-present weight of ICE and state power pressing into daily life. Erin speaks candidly about how these forces inevitably seep into the studio, and why making art that responds to now is not only unavoidable, but necessary. This episode is a thoughtful reflection on inherited art worlds, scientific ways of seeing, and the responsibility—and risk—of creating work that bears witness to the time we’re living in.Episode tags:Art Worth: A Festival at Clearfork- https://www.zapplication.org/event-info.php?ID=14014FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://independentartistpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastEmail [email protected] (contact us here about advertising on our show)PLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgSupport the show

We also dig into the ongoing tension between making work about something versus creating decorative work—and which of those paths is actually harder to sell. From making the work to finding the audience for it, this episode sits in the space between patience, persistence, and adaptation.We also look at how tools like ChatGPT and emerging AI technologies are beginning to shape creative thinking, workflow, and decision-making.

Welcome to The Independent Artist Podcast with your hosts Douglas and Will — the show where we pull back the curtain on the real life of working artists. Before we dive into today’s conversation, Will and Douglas kick things off by talking about the whirlwind of doing the One of a Kind Show—the highs, the hustle, and what it takes to say yes to an opportunity before it slips away. They reflect on the importance of moving quickly when the window opens, trusting your instincts, and learning to spot the difference between real opportunity and distraction. The intro wraps with a timely reminder for artists: how to recognize and ward off a scam email before it costs you time, money, or peace of mind.Today’s episode is titled “Am I the Artist, or Am I the Art?”—and it’s a deep, unfiltered conversation with mixed media artist Elissa Brown  (http://www.thefreckledarmy.com/p/mina-page.html)Elissa is a storyteller first, even when the story begins with crippling anxiety, sweating through her shirt, and stepping straight into the void. In her work, she creates entire worlds—layered, constructed realities that blur the line between facade and truth, between an impenetrable exterior and what’s breaking underneath. She openly embraces the unreliable narrator, questioning whether we ever fully control the stories we tell about ourselves.We talk about the commonality of the banal, the necessity of invention, and why, sometimes, if you can’t teach, you have to do. We talk about choosing your hard, about becoming a better version of yourself, even though you know full well it doesn’t say “asshole” on the check.This is a conversation about identity, anxiety, and the uncomfortable honesty of making art from necessity rather than comfort. Elissa’s work isn’t just something you look at—it’s a place you step into. And once you’re there, the question becomes unavoidable: where does the artist end, and the art begin?Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth (https://www.sigwarthglass.com/) and Will Armstrong (http://www.willarmstrongart.com/) co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://independentartistpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastEmail [email protected] (contact us here about advertising on our show)PLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgMusic  "Walking" by Oliver LearBusiness inquiries at [email protected] the show

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.Marina Terauds (https://www.marinaterauds.com/) has always loved to draw. When she was a child, her parents would sneak her sketchpad, and while she slept, they created drawings for her to find when she awoke. She enrolled in an arts academy in 5th grade and continued her art education, earning a master's in printmaking at The Latvian Academy of Arts. She worked as a key animator for many years before she emigrated to the United States with her husband Uldis. In this conversation, Marina describes her experiences adapting to rural life in a different country without being fluent in the language. Her nature walks became the source of inspiration, which ultimately fueled her body of work.#printmaking #intaglio #etching #watercolor #naturestudy  #originalprint #handpulledprint #artbyhand #roadwarrior #art #artist #workingartist #podcast #artistconversation #positiveattitude #artistlife #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #artfair #artfairartist #emergingartist #sketchbook #journal #visualdiary #sketch #drawing #ink #inkdrawing #inkillustration #naturestudy #naturesketchbook #mushroomsketchbookVisual artists Douglas Sigwarth (https://www.sigwarthglass.com/) and Will Armstrong (http://www.willarmstrongart.com/) co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://www.sigwarthglass.com/independentartistpodcast.htmlYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastMailing List  http://eepurl.com/hwQn7bEmail [email protected] RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgMusic  "Walking" by Oliver LearBusiness inquiries at [email protected] the show

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists.Making a living from our artwork comes with its unique set of challenges. For art fair artists, this involves venturing out of our solitary studios and hitting the road, searching for our audience.

"Stubborn!" he says, "I don't want to work in a shitty job just to pay for an expensive house. I don't even want to make artwork I don't want to make." Living and working out of a box truck or buying abandoned houses to renovate are ways he feels free. In his pursuit of "choosing a life," Matthew describes how he has adapted his behavior to how his brain works. Discovering as an adult that he experiences ADHD brought into focus the "self-taught mechanisms" he's used to convert "circular thinking to linear thinking." Matthew is an artist who works in various mediums, such as metal sculpture, jewelry, and painting.

The Whitcomb's are both artists working on their own bodies of work in different mediums. Each captures elements of the past presented with a contemporary eye. Mick Whitcomb https://www.artifactsbynomad.com/ is fixated on the American Machine Age and the advent of electric lighting. He transforms 19th-century machines and scientific instruments into utilitarian sculptures. Paige Whitcomb https://www.paigewhitcomb.com/ creates photos using the traditional method of wet collodion photography with an authentic 19th-century studio camera. She creates tintypes to capture a staged fictional world. Her images are the opposite of modern photography; in a society where anyone can take a picture anywhere, her meticulously staged scenes allow the viewer to see the world through the artist’s perspective, which is often an allegorical view of modern culture.

When Marlene Rose https://marlenerose.com/ discovered molten glass, she was energized by the adrenaline rush of the material. While pursuing her BFA, she learned that glass could be used for more than just craft, but as a means to convey an idea of what she wanted to say. Although glassblowing was more common at the time, she was drawn to an ancient technique of sand casting, typically used for metal. Sculpting molten glass in a mold of sand sent her in a direction where everything was new and exciting with no limitations.Please take the ZAPP artist survey. bit.ly/ZAPPArtistSurvey Please help out these amazing members of our community.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It's difficult to say regarding this father/ son pair of kinetic sculptors. Jeffrey Zachmann http://www.zachmann.com/brought his son Carl Zachmann https://carlzachmann.com/ on the road with him throughout his career as an independent artist. It is no wonder that Carl eventually followed step with his dad after exploring his interest in engineering and archeology. What seemed like a random collection of interests coalesced around his body of work involving gears and artifacts, encouraging the viewer to go internal. Conversely, Jeffrey's work is a lively experience that allows his collectors to actively engage in the movement within his pieces which disarms them and allows their natural and unfiltered reactions to emerge.

When Erica Iman http://ericaiman.com/ was a middle school art teacher fresh out of college, she recognized a trend among her coworkers. Her fellow teachers were counting down to retirement. She also identified that her favorite educators were those who led interesting lives. This prompted her to experience life and get outside her personal bubble. Erica and her husband joined the Peace Corps and spent two years of service in Mongolia. Her experiences in Asia fueled her drive to pursue her own art practice with ceramics as her medium. After years of working with clay, Erica's curiosity inspired her to explore 2D paintings that work seamlessly within her entire artistic vision.

As a young artist in the Montreal art scene, Julia Gilmore http://www.juliagilmore.ca/ discovered that she thrived from interacting with her audience and shifted gears. She formed an indie-punk band where she wrote and performed her original music for many years. Eventually, she discovered that her life lacked something she couldn't identify until the birth of her son. She longed for the tangible creation of her fine art, combined with the interaction of her collectors.  Armed with tubes of oil paint and a palette knife, she began to carve and create paintings that elevate the ordinary prosaic subject matter to a vibrant exuberant level of iconic imagery by using vintage objects to tell a story and make visceral connections with memory and the past. In her artistic view, she paints a world with intense beauty, even in mundane everyday objects. Her artwork re-examines the temporal world around her in a direct, straightforward joie de vivre expression of vivid color and gestural texture that reaffirms her zest and love for life.In the preamble discussion, Douglas and Will discuss the grief of not jurying into one of your best shows, the final tour for the Radtke's, and when the elusive show doesn't meet your expectations.Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.
