On episode 25 I chat with Medical Skin Therapist, Lash Artist and Educator Stella Niatsikas. Stella talks about her passion for eyelash extensions and the beauty industry. The thriving business she’s built as a master Eyelash Technician and Trainer of aspiring “lashistas”. She talks about her fine art background, why she feels her work with lashes is an extension of her artistic practice and what it’s like putting a lot of effort and care into art that’s temporary. Stella says why she feels community and collaboration are important and how her training sessions aren’t just about lashes, but about teaching her students entrepreneurial skills.

Kimberley Eddy

I had a great conversation with Painter, Kimberley Eddy about, where she grew up, how she went from teacher to full-time painter, her time living in my home country, Bermuda and how it left its mark on her. We dug into why she incorporates the ocean into so much of her work, how that’s become her brand and how she feels about sharing work that’s outside of what she’s most known for. We also talk about how one gets their work recognized by galleries and collectors, being self-taught and the system she uses for pricing her work.

You can find out more about Kimberly on her website.

Art Pays Me Live: Geordan Moore

This is the first half of the Art Pays Me Live Recording! In the first half of the show I interviewed Geordan Moore of Quarrelsome Yeti about his unique aesthetic, how he’s been able to establish a successful career as an illustrator and whether he considers himself a fashion designer since a lot of his work ends up on clothes. We also talk about how he balances client work vs independent projects and how he promotes his products. We even find out what a Quarrelsome Yeti is.

The second half of Art Pays Me Live featuring Elana Camille will be on Episode 27.
