Show Notes
In today’s conversation I’m chatting with Scottish abstract artist Sarah Coey. Sarah is perhaps best known for her bright and colourful rainbow paintings and for being one of the most joyful places to be on Instagram.
In this interview Sarah walks us through her early days at art school, graduating into a global financial crisis and eventually to finding her way to becoming a successful commercial artist.
She’s the Mother of a 3 year old and 5 month old boys, so we also chatted about making it work when you have little ones around and how she finds time during maternity leave to keep her art business running.
Sarah and I also chat about her passion for being authentic on social media and all your business interactions and how this can help you to connect with your audience and inspire sales. She also shares with us her views on affordable art.
Sarah and I also dig deep into the issue of copying. We share on different ways we have had our artwork blatantly stolen by companies, and also how tricky it can be to navigate your feelings and all the grey areas when confronted with being copied by other artists.
We touch on so many interesting areas in this conversation and I really hope you enjoy the episode.
Her relationship with colour and how she uses it to express herself.
Why she’s not afraid to share the bad along with the good when it comes to social media.
How she mindfully chooses to build her business on deep relationships with her clients.
Why she priorities the concept of affordable art.
How she dealt with the confronting situation of having her work replicated.

Welcome to season 13! I’ve started a new season as I have recently started a new chapter of my life and career as an artist. Three months ago, I started my Master of visual at Federation University, which is here in my hometown of Ballarat. So I thought it was about to time to check in and let you know what I’ve been up to and how it’s been going.
Hi friends and welcome to episode 117. It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat. It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril.
