The Six-Figure Australian Visual Artist | Ros Gervay Interview
Let's bust the starving artist myth!
In this interview, I speak with Ros Gervay, a visual artist and business coach for emerging artists. Ros shares her journey from being a self-taught artist to building a thriving six-figure art business with multiple income streams.
She explains how she helps her clients develop confidence, master marketing, and sell their work, focusing on creating a fulfilling art business.
Ros describes the variety of her income streams, including coaching, selling original art, running after-school art programs for children, and working with adults with disabilities.
She emphasizes the importance of following one's intuition and adapting to the needs of the market, as she did by teaching art through Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ros also highlights the significance of finding your unique voice and maintaining joy in the creative process. She discusses the challenges of pricing art, building confidence, and overcoming the "starving artist" mindset.
Additionally, she shares her strategies for evolving her membership site, Art for the Heart, which supports new and rising artists in making consistent art sales using her Fulfilled Artist Method.
Throughout the interview, Ros emphasizes the importance of community, mentorship, and continuous learning. She candidly shares her struggles with boundaries and the need for self-care, offering practical advice for aspiring artists and entrepreneurs.
Ros encourages listeners to pursue their passions, find support, and give their creative dreams a chance.
