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

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. Find Alison:Website: alisongsaunders.art  Instagram:  @alisonsaundersFacebook: facebook.com/AlisonGSaunders Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/agsaunders61Mentioned:Norm Ackroyd, printmaker (see) Alison’s blog (read)Ginger Cactus Art, artist collective (explore)  Artwork Archives, artist inventory platform (learn)Bound: 15 Beautiful Bookbinding Projects, Rachel Hazell (read) Making Collagraph Prints, Suzie MacKenzie (read) Life Force: A Painter's Response to the Nature Poetry of Ted Hughes,  Louise Fletcher (pre-order)Art Juice , David Mankin podcast interview (listen)Remembering in Paint, David Mankin  (pre-order)Find Me, Kristy Darnell Battani:Website:    https://www.kristybattani.comInstagram:  kristybattaniartFacebook:  kristybattaniartDid you enjoy this episode?
