The BoldBrush Show

The BoldBrush Show sits at the intersection of fine art and business in a way that feels natural rather than forced. With 169 episodes, the podcast interviews working visual artists -- mostly painters -- about how they actually make a living from their work. Recent guests include landscape painters Stacey Peterson and Stephanie Marzella, plus art business coach Miriam Schulman. Episodes typically run 50 to 80 minutes, giving the conversations room to breathe. The show is produced by BoldBrush, which makes artist websites and marketing tools, so there is an inherent business angle. But it never feels like a long advertisement. The interviews genuinely dig into how artists handle rejection, build gallery relationships, use social media to connect with collectors, and transition from hobby to full-time career. There is a recurring theme of emotional connection in artwork -- how to create pieces that resonate with people, not just impress other painters. The host draws out personal stories about overcoming self-doubt and the specific moments when a career started to take off, which makes the show feel grounded in real experience rather than abstract advice. At 4.5 stars from 33 ratings, the audience is smaller but dedicated. If you paint and want to hear from artists who are actually selling work, showing in galleries, and navigating the business side without losing their creative soul, the BoldBrush Show delivers exactly that kind of honest, practical conversation.
