This week's chat is with Sanae Robinson Guerin. Sanae is a painter and stained glass artist. Sanae has been painting since way back in...2014. Yes, you read that right. 2014! And in that short amount of time, she's shown in over a dozen galleries. In fact, the first time one of her paintings was in a gallery was only around a month and a half after she started painting! I asked Sanae about her experience with these gallery shows, and she told me that she can't believe she had the hubris to enter her paintings in these shows. She didn't really know the ins and outs of the art world. She would hear of a show that had a topic that she happened to have painted, so she submitted. Now that I've gotten to know her a bit, I don't think it's hubris as much as it is the innocence of not knowing. It's like the fearlessness that we have as kids. What a gift to have had that as an adult, even if it was just there long enough to have that initial positive experience of entering new, "unproven" work in shows!

Sanae also talks about the importance of having a daily practice, and tells us a bit about what goes into making stained glass art. And, she shares the impact her mother has had, and will always have, on her art.

I'm so excited for you to hear more about Sanae, and the amazing story about how she started painting! So, here we go! I hope you enjoy my chat with artist, Sanae Robinson Guerin.

This week's chat is with Bari J. Ackerman, of Bari J. Designs. Bari designs art for products, and during our conversation she tells us exactly what that entails. As you're about to hear, Bari is the ultimate self-starter and self motivator, and her can-do attitude is infectious! In this episode, she talks about how she went from making handbags to sell at local boutiques, to selling on Etsy, where she found the market to be a bit saturated, and how the need to differentiate herself on there led her to design her own fabric. She shares how she took the leap from designing on the computer to painting, and we discuss the role social media, specifically Instagram, plays in her business and sales.

Bari was kind enough to squeeze me into her busy schedule on a recent trip to Los Angeles from her home in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I can't tell you how excited I was to talk with her. And I'm even more excited for you to hear what Bari had to say.
