Advice from artists for artists
Rowena & Geoffrey's tips for aspiring artists
1. "Get your work out of the studio. It's intimidating but until you do you won't have an audience. Besides exhibiting in a gallery, get on social media and exhibit at art fairs and design markets," suggests Rowena. 2. "Collaborate with other artists. When Rowena and I work together, it informs a second audience that our work wouldn't reach individually. Extending ourselves into designed items has also opened up new opportunities for us," says Geoffrey. 3. Think differently about materials. "When it comes to paint we buy it from all over the place. We use all sorts from really pure pigments to commercial house paint and spray paint," explains Rowena.
