Being the Artist I Want My Son to See with Stephanie Brown (248)

In part one of this conversation (episode 247), Stephanie Brown shared how she strategically funded her education and built her early career foundation. Now it's time to talk about what happens next: the messy, real, day-to-day work of sustaining an art practice.

Stephanie breaks down her actual income streams with host Alyson Stanfield—sharing her five-year vision for gallery representation and explaining how becoming a mother made her bolder and more focused rather than holding her back.

18:30 The tools that keep multiple income streams organized

25:30 Why direct outreach finally started working after years of silence

🏃STEPHANIE'S ACTION FOR YOU

Make a list of the top ten things you're most scared to do in your art career. Then do the scariest thing on that list.

Maybe it's reaching out directly to a gallery you admire. Maybe it's raising your prices. Maybe it's applying to that prestigious residency you've been bookmarking for years. Maybe it's finally having an honest conversation about money with your partner or family.

The scary thing is usually the thing that will move you forward the most.
