Have you ever felt frustrated about how best to showcase your art so that collectors can see it in the best light? Today's guest is an expert at it - in fact she's made a second career out of bridging the gap between artists, art collectors, or just people who want a colourful home full of personality.

Alice welcomes Emily Hadley to Art juice and we talk about career transitions, staying flexible and remembering you get to create this in a way that suits you. We also cover how you can style your art and see how you present your work as an overall part of your expression that collectors love to see

This week, we're talking all about collaboration. In response to two listener questions, we discuss the pros and cons of working with others, whether they be galleries, businesses or fellow artists. Collaborations can offer great rewards - as long as you ask some smart questions before committing.

In this episode, we dive into the joys of using mixed media—a playground for curiosity and creativity. We explore the fun (and challenges) of mixing materials, textures, and techniques, from graphic edges paired with loose lines to playful contrasts of smooth and rough textures. But it’s not all carefree: many artists find themselves relying on external materials, like magazine clippings or vintage photos, which can sometimes raise the question, "Am I enough without this?"

So, when is mixed media a tool for experimentation and trust-building? And when does it become a safe zone, holding us back from bolder artistic leaps?
