  How I Started to Sell My Art Part 1 of 2

  Aug 24, 202619 minS1

  How did I actually start selling my art and what would I do differently if I were starting today? In this solo episode, I'm taking you back to my very first art sale (spoiler: it was my mum), and sharing openly about everything I tried in the early days — a pricey and pointless Etsy shop, garage-sale-style markets, boosted Instagram posts with no strategy, and art competitions that weren't even a good fit. More importantly, I'm sharing the five things I wish I'd prioritised from the beginning: my vision, my style, my story, my people, and my invitation. These are the fundamentals that actually move the needle, whether you're waiting for your first sale or you've already made many. If you want to sell more art without falling into the overwhelm of endless advice and shiny tactics, this episode is for you.

  How to Build an Art Business Around Real Life

  Aug 10, 202612 minS1

  Do you ever feel like your art business is constantly asking for more time, content and energy than you actually have to give? In this solo episode, Ros explores how to build an art business around your real life—without giving up on your ambitions. You’ll learn four practical principles for creating a sustainable art business, including how to assess your real capacity, choose a business model that suits your circumstances, identify your biggest current hurdle and focus on small actions you can realistically repeat. Because the problem isn’t always your motivation or discipline. Sometimes, the problem is a plan that was designed for somebody else’s life. If you’re growing your art business around children, paid work, caring responsibilities, health limitations or limited pockets of time, this episode is for you.

  From Open Studios to Art Career with Kelly Kondis

  Jul 27, 202632 minS1

  In this episode, I’m joined by atmospheric landscape painter Kelly Kondis to talk about building an art career, finding your artistic voice, and taking your work more seriously. Kelly paints misty, layered landscapes inspired by the Sherbrooke rainforest in the Dandenong Ranges — work that captures atmosphere, feeling, light, cloud and place without being tied to one specific location. We talk about Kelly’s shift from abstract painting into atmospheric landscapes, how lockdown gave her the time to paint more consistently, and the moment she applied for Dandenong Ranges Open Studios and began to feel her work being taken seriously. Kelly also shares what art prizes, exhibitions, galleries and online platforms have taught her about building momentum as an artist — and why there are many different ways to create a sustainable art career. If you’re an artist who wants to move from hobby into sales, or you’re craving a more grounded and flexible path into professional art practice, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

  Starting Later as an artist with Bridie O'Brien

  Jul 13, 202634 minS1

  What if starting later as an artist isn’t a disadvantage but the very thing that gives your work its depth, confidence and clarity? In this episode of Paint Rest Repeat, I’m joined by artist Bridie O’Brien for a beautiful conversation about creative timing, self-belief, and what happens when art patiently waits in the background until you’re ready. Bridie shares how painting was always present in her life, even while music, travel and performance took centre stage. We talk about the turning point of 2020, the confidence that came from decades of creative experience, and why she believes those earlier chapters made her a bolder, more decisive artist. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve left it too late, this episode is a powerful reminder that nothing in your creative life is wasted.

  What Artists Really Need and the Story Behind Art for the Heart

  Jun 29, 202627 minS1

  Today’s episode is a little different. Ros takes you behind the scenes of Art for the Heart - what it is, why it began, how it has evolved over the years, and the thinking behind its newest chapter. She is joined by Bec from Short and Sweet Art, a Canberra-based artist, long-time Art for the Heart member, and much-loved part of the support team inside the community. Together, Ros and Bec chat about what artists really need when they are trying to stay connected to their art, why community matters so much, and how Art for the Heart has grown from online art workshops into a warm, supportive membership for artists who want creativity, accountability, encouragement and practical support. If you’ve ever felt like making art can be lonely, overwhelming, or hard to prioritise, this episode is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
