2026/09/12

What do you do when galleries are following you, visiting your studio, complimenting your work…and then nothing happens? In this episode of The MFA Podcast, I answer a question from an artist who feels like she's doing everything right—but gallery interest hasn't turned into exhibitions, representation, or sales yet.

The MFA Podcast ·

2026/09/03

Art fairs aren't just places to see art — they can help you understand where you fit in the art world. In this episode, I share how artists can use art fairs as a form of market research: to identify the galleries that align with their work, understand how similar artists are positioned, compare pricing, and get a clearer sense of where their work belongs in the contemporary art market.

The MFA Podcast ·

2026/07/09

One of the biggest misconceptions artists have is this: "They asked for the price... and then disappeared. I guess they couldn't afford it." But after years working as a Gallery Director, I've learned that price is often not the real reason. More often, collectors simply haven't experienced enough value before they receive the number. Value comes first. Price comes second. In this episode, I'm sharing five ways to increase the perceived value of your artwork so collectors feel more connected, more
