Welcome back to another episode of the Paint Rest Repeat Podcast.

This fortnight we bring you another interview! With Laura overseas, Ros takes the reins and chats with award-winning fine artist Alicia Cornwell from Victoria Australia. Ros and Alicia met in person at the Art To Art Unearthed Art Prize exhibition in 2022 and hit it off right away. What stood out about Alicia was her openness, her kindness and her obvious passion for community.

In this episode, we get to know Alicia, her background and how she has flourished as an award-winning fine artist. From art school to corporate banking, a vintage trading business to her beautiful fine art career, Alicia’s journey is similar to so many other creatives. Innately creative, right throughout her journey, she knew there was something missing.

She touches on the importance of each and every part of her life journey, stating that “everything we do builds up to this point in time.” Alicia shares that receiving life coaching from Sarah Riley Coaching was key to gaining as much success as she has to date.

We unpack the realities of the art prize application process from coping with rejection and choosing art prizes that suit your work, and we hone in on online art marketplaces such as Art Lovers Australia and BlueThumb and how to get onto those marketplaces and make them work for you.

We hope that you enjoy the show!
