This week I’m joined by UK-based artist, illustrator and curator Tabby Booth, whose work treads between illustration and traditional folk art painting. We get into the tension between being an “Instagram artist” versus a “real artist,” the snobbery that still lingers in traditional galleries, how to push through cringe to find success online, and the creative challenges of commission work.As an artist, gallery owner, and artist manager, Tabby offers a rare perspective on how the industry is shifting on all sides. She brings so much insight, honesty, and humour to this chat, plus a healthy dose of screw-the-naysayers energy.You can find Tabby’s work on her website here and on Instagram here, and check out Sailors Jail Gallery here.

TABLE TALK: The artistry of food with Maria’s Byron Bay
This episode of Table Talk takes us out of the studio and into the kitchen. Maya and Chelsea of Maria’s Byron Bay are culinary artists who blur the line between food and art - and the creative geniuses who brought my recent collection to life as caterers for the Table Talk lunch.Before the event, Holly Terry and I stepped into their kitchen to dive into their creative process, their inspirations, and the intentionality that guides everything they do. From presentation to materials, and even the way they approach clients, their practice reveals surprising parallels to life as an artist.Food has always held a special place in my heart, which is why this series grew out of a collection all about food. This chat was such a joy and a good reminder that artistry isn’t limited to studios!Check out Maria's on insta here and on their website here. Hosted on Acast.

We unpack ditching the 9 to 5, breaking up with galleries, hanging onto childlike curiosity, and how she leaned into the intuitive path that’s carried her to where she is today. Sasha is pure creative fire with infectious confidence and we hope this conversation leaves feeling ready to take on the world !You can find Sasha on insta here @sashacourtstudioAnd see her website here https://www.sashacourt.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoruz7Ti40d_cDElyYiVyh1sfRnxLCZ4xg12Yrdg3bINLmwE1-2I Hosted on Acast.
