MP3•Thuis aflevering

Amy Scherer is a contemporary painter who works out of her home studio just outside of Seattle.

In this episode, Amy and I talk about making art even when the people around you don't quite get what it is you do. Ever have any one come into your studio and ask - "Wait, where's the TV?" 🤦‍♀️ IYKYK, right?

Amy lives in the suburbs and most of the people she's around just don't understand what she does, and that yes, there really is an actual artist living among them!

For Amy, what helps her stay sane is teaching other artists how to paint. She absolutely loves the chance to geek out on art with other artists! It gives her the opportunity to share her ideas on color theory, composition, and all the nuances that make a great painting.

So OF COURSE in our conversation, we geeked out on ALL THE THINGS:

how to arrange subjects in a painting.
why seeing the world as an artist matters.
tips on how to manage time between making art and daily life.
why making mistakes is important for growing as an artist.
the challenges of being seen as a real artist when you live in the suburbs.
being true to yourself in your art.
how being kind and understanding can help people love art even more.
how Amy keeps her passion for art alive.
how she balances creativity with her other responsibilities.
