ALISON SAUNDERS: printmaker + painter + accountant / art business essentials

July 21, 2021

British printmaker and painter ALISON SAUNDERS makes no bones about it—she doesn’t like boring beige! While her bold use of color belies her initial career as an accountant, in Episode 21 of the ARTish Plunge podcast Alison generously offers her professional insight on how to track expenses for art shows, weekly business check-ins and an old-school index card system to manage inventory. 

Alison also shares personal stories about growing up in a family of artists and making art during times of emotional upheaval.

The ARTish Plunge podcast is a labor-of-love, staff-of-one project. For less than the cost of swim googles, you can help me “keep swimming” and hopefully help someone else take their own ARTish Plunge.
