The Inquisitive Artist: Hester Berry (Part 2)
In part two of my chat with Hester Berry, we dive deeper into her artistic process, her experiences on both Sky Arts Portrait and Landscape Artist of the Year – as a new mother, with a five-week old! – and how she navigates the balance between creativity and commercial success. Hester shares her thoughts on working from life versus photographs, the challenges of commissions, and the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision. We also discuss competitions, gallery representation, and the role of exhibitions in building an artist’s career. Whether you're an aspiring artist or simply fascinated by the art world, this episode offers valuable insights into the dedication and passion behind Hester’s work. This is a public episode.
