Welcome back to another episode of the Paint Rest Repeat Podcast, where we explore the intersection between creativity, personal growth, and the business of being an artist.

In this episode, Laura and Ros dive into an essential topic for every creative—making art for yourself versus creating art to sell. How do you balance personal expression with commercial goals? And what happens when one starts to eclipse the other?

They reflect on their own practices, checking in on their recent “art promises” to each other, and share updates on what’s currently keeping Ros busy in her art business. From preparing for Christmas markets and product launches to leading workshops and filming membership tutorials, there's a lot on her plate—and plenty of insight into the behind-the-scenes of running a creative business.

They also discuss therapeutic art practices like bilateral body mapping and introduce the idea of a “play canvas” as a tool for experimentation, healing, and loosening up creatively. Plus, Ros shares some motivating advice from another artist—make the art anyway, regardless of the outcome or obstacles.

We hope that you enjoy the Show!
