Art Talk Podcast Karin Merx

In episode 87 of Art Talk, I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Shirley-Ann O’Neil, director of the VAA (Visual Artists Association)After their book Good Art Doesn’t Sell Itself (which I highly recommend), they have now written a book about Securing Representation: Galleries, Agents & Artists. The book is divided in sections with very valuable information from industry experts, the do’s and don'ts tips and summaries. It is a true guide for the professional artist.

She has a wealth of experience and is an exceptional trainer (and I know, we met at a training at UK Black Pride, and I have been in one of her workshops) and she is a great listener. She currently has a program Building The Power Of Us, which we will discuss in our conversation.







Following the podcast/interview, Jessica mentioned that if anyone is experiencing symptoms that are having a negative impact on their physical and emotional health, to seek professional help or talk to someone they trust.

In episode 83 of Art Talk, I talk about art and grief. In January, after a massive stroke, I lost someone very close to me; my partner. With that, I experienced a numbness. Also because I walked on adrenaline when it happened. I was actually with him and was quicker than anyone could be. Unfortunately, the damage was severe. On January 23 he passed away peacefully.
