EPISODE 70

My guest today is Australian artist, Alexandra Plim. Alexandra paints energetic and intuitive abstract landscapes from her home studio in the inner west of Sydney.

She describes her creative journey as a ‘Very DIY Situation’. From having an open studio when she didn’t actually have a studio to setting up her website one-handed while breastfeeding - this is an inspirational story about letting go of perfection, embracing the mess and making things happen for yourself!

A few things you will hear us talk about:

How Alexandra’s background in performing arts has impacted her painting.
The role Instagram has played in growing her audience.
Transitioning from being a stay-at-home mum to creative business owner.
The benefits of participating in Art Fairs, Art Prizes and Open Studios.
Letting go of perfection, asking questions and giving things a go!
