Resumen del episodio
What if painting isn't only something you do, but the way you find your way back to yourself? In this episode of Paint Rest Repeat, I'm joined by artist Amy Kim for a heartfelt conversation about identity, motherhood, letting go of control, and being yourself in your art. Amy studied art more than twenty years ago, then stepped away. She was convinced she wasn't creative enough or brave enough to be an artist. After years of design, teaching and raising her daughters, she realised she no longer knew who she was. Painting became her way back. We talk about how her structured art education in Korea shaped her once hard-edged style, why she's now learning to paint more intuitively, and the series about her grandmother that revealed what she'd been carrying all along. Amy also shares the story behind her upcoming group exhibition, 'Being', and why real-life connection between artists and audiences matters so much. If you've ever lost touch with yourself, or wondered whether your art is "good enough", this…

How I Started to Sell My Art (Part 2 of 2)
EscuchadoIf you caught the last episode, you'll know it was all about what actually worked when I first started selling my art. This time, I'm sharing the other side: what didn't. In this solo episode, I'm walking through 5 mistakes I made when first starting out. None of them happened because I wasn't committed enough. They happened because nobody showed me the potholes before I drove straight into them, and because these mistakes are sneaky — they don't feel like mistakes while you're making them. If you're making some sales but it all feels a bit chaotic behind the scenes, or you're just beginning and want to skip a couple of years of unnecessary struggle, this episode hands you the shortcuts I had to learn the long way.

How I Started to Sell My Art (Part 1 of 2)
EscuchadoHow 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
EscuchadoDo 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
EscuchadoIn 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…
