Episode 12 - Colin Dixon

Colin Dixon is somebody very close to me and integral in my story of becoming an established artist. In fact, Colin and his wife Gaye ran the first Gallery I approached back in the early years, just as I was starting out. I noticed something was very different about the way Colin ran the business; at times it seemed diametrically opposed to many of the dealers and galleries I was also associated with at the time. Many of the lessons I learned in those early years are still relevant today. He shared many great insights in this conversation, certainly food for thought for emerging artists!

Episode 11 - Tom Tischler

Tom Tischler is a renowned wildlife sculptor specialising in monumental bronze animals. He's also my Dad! I thought it would be great to get him on the podcast and share his story. I also wanted to know about his approach to the business side of art and what made him so successful. In the age of the internet, my father hasn't embraced any of the new technologies. He is a product of "the old school"; I wanted to know what the old school could offer the "new school". This was a fun conversation with plenty of lessons to apply! to see some of Tom's art please visit www.tomtischler.com
