Art & Magic Podcast: How to Strengthen Your Work with Pennylane Shen
This is an extra special episode for me because working with Pennylane Shen over the past year has been a game changer for my art practice. Pennylane is an artist consultant, and she’s really one of the good ones out there providing support to artists who want to strengthen their work, develop their business, write their artist statement and much more. I loved getting to steal her for an hour to ask everything I’ve been wanting to and highlight the knowledge that she’s imparted to me in our sessions together.
We talked about…
-- The two overarching factors that make for strong artwork and how to know if you’re hitting the marks
--Navigating experimentation and incorporating just the right dose of it
-- Why you need to bulk up the “meat and potatoes” of your work and ways to bring meaning and substance to the forefront of what you make -- How to overcome the insecurity of being self-taught
-- The things to become aware of in your own self (or continued!) art education
-- Determining which way of selling your work is right for you: self-representation v. working with a gallery
