107. Keeping Focused on the joy of Painting with Marnie McKnight
In today’s interview, I’m chatting with Irish-born, Sydney-based artist Marnie McKnight. I first fell in love with Marnie’s beautiful abstract expressionist artwork over on Blue Thumb.
Since getting to know more about her, I’ve marveled at how she moves through different styles of painting and mediums in her practice with ease. We had a great conversation about how Marnie keeps focused on the joy of the painting and how this focus has shaped her thriving art business.
We chat through how she approaches selling artwork without a huge social media following and how she has gained clarity on her client base who have become extremely loyal collectors.
In this episode, we talked about:
Marnie’s early life in Ireland and what brought her to live in Australia and shared her life as a painter
What inspires Marnie’s art style - sweeping blue expressionist paintings with touches of gold
Marnie’s “Challenge Tuesday”
Marnie’s approach to selling her arts successfully
Tips for selling successfully “Blue Thumb”
The process of using home interiors to display art
Marnie on entering art prizes
And MUCH MORE!
