Take away some great tips from two seasoned artists who are also married and run a thriving art business. It's a casual conversation (pre-pandemic) with artists Diane Williams and Chuck Potter, who are some of the hardest working artists we know. They both maintain prolific painting practices, work full time, are addicted to art collecting, and also run a thriving art workshop business.

We discuss the power of community for artists, and how it can help with an art practice in ways you may not consider. We also discuss:

•how they literally raised their kids inside their loft art studio

•maintaining a practice while raising kids

•a strict schedule is what allowed them to work full time and still paint

•how attending events is very important, even if you're shy or introverted

•how collecting art benefits galleries and artists

Diane Williams is represented by Jen Tough Gallery.
