0084-Make Creative Leaps as an Artist with Painter Amy Peterman - Part 2
10/09/22 • 30 min
Welcome to part 2 of my interview in progress with American Painter Amy Peterman. In this second half, we talk about how Amy sells her art, keeping production costs down, selling prints, where Amy turns for mentoring, and so much more.
If you haven't yet listened to part 1, I recommend you go back and listen to that first, to hear Amy's bio and hear about her background, her process, making time for her art, her biggest challenge, and so much more. You can find it at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode83.
Amy and I met at the 2022 Waterfront Arts Festival in Escanaba, up here in the lovely Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I was honored to be asked to judge the paintings at this year's festival, where many talented artists exhibited and sold their work.
I discovered Amy was a kindred spirit, having a professional background in graphic design and freelancing for a living, like me, while working on her paintings. We were also both raised by craftsman parents who worked with furniture, glass, and fabric. We both gave up studying a string instrument in high school to spend more time in art, and enjoyed exposure to a wide range of techniques before college.
We're practically twins. If she'd told me she'd also gone on a secret mission to rescue a chicken in her freshman year at university, I definitely would have been creeped out.
Amy's expressionistic landscapes are captivating, with strong compositions and fearless brushwork. I was struck by how many paintings she had on display, in addition to prints, each more beautiful than the next. I was grateful artists were required to designate one for consideration in the best-in-show category. I never could have picked one from the others.
In looking at her work, I could see Amy's unflagging commitment to making her art despite any obstacles or demands on her time. She is prolific, professional, and organized. I was truly inspired and I knew you would love to hear from her.
Needless to say, Amy took the prize that day, and I can confirm she deserved it. She has since become a good friend and agreed to come on the show. It's full of great information and encouragement.
