In this episode, I’m joined by Atlanta-based abstract artist Lindsay Von Art, who shares her journey from the advertising world to becoming a full-time artist—and how consistency, relationship-building, and trusting her instincts shaped her career.

We talk about finding your voice while putting yourself out there, working successfully with interior designers, and why showing your work in real spaces can completely change how collectors connect with it. Lindsay also shares how Instagram fits into her business today, her thoughts on Pinterest and other platforms, and why she’s expanding into functional art through custom painted lampshades.

This episode is full of practical insight for artists looking to grow thoughtfully, diversify their income, and build a sustainable art career that evolves with them.

In this episode, we sit down with Walker Antonio, a Virginia-based Filipino-American painter whose work blurs the boundaries between the real and surreal, the physical and psychological. Working primarily on a large scale, Walker's process moves from energetic chaos to deliberate refinement—a philosophy that extends to his remarkable career trajectory.

Just 18 months after graduating from Wofford College with his BA in Studio Art and Art History, Walker has built an impressive professional practice. He shares his unconventional journey from receiving the 2023 Whetsell Family Fellowship to spending 10 months at a ski resort in Germany, and how he quickly gained representation with three galleries upon returning stateside.

We dive into Walker's evolving artistic practice—from large-scale figurative works exploring themes of environment and identity to experimental 6x6-inch pieces that challenge his understanding of composition. He opens up about the pivot points in his career, including creating 34 pieces in 10 days during the Foundation House Artist Residency and showing alongside Picasso and Basquiat at the Palm Beach Modern Contemporary Art Fair.

As the first visual artist selected for the Kenan-Lewis Fellowship at Woodberry Forest School, Walker offers candid insights on balancing teaching, pursuing his MA in Fine Arts from Falmouth University, and managing the business side of art. He emphasizes the power of authentic networking over social media growth, the many hats artists must wear (accountant, marketer, graphic designer), and why he's chosen to avoid commissions to protect his creative vision.

With solo exhibitions at Stevenson & Co. (Charleston, SC) and the Rhodes Art Center (Gill, MA) in 2025, plus upcoming shows at Sheridan Studios (Macon, GA) in February 2026 and the Baker Gallery (Woodberry Forest, VA) in November 2026, Walker's career is rapidly expanding. His work has been published in American Art Collector and Suboart Magazine, with forthcoming publication in the Penn Journal of Arts and Sciences.

Whether you're an emerging artist or simply curious about the art world, Walker's perspective on treating Instagram as a living portfolio, his strategic approach to artist residencies (including his upcoming 2026 Elf School of the Arts Residency), and his commitment to "just keep going" will inspire you to pursue your creative path with intention and authenticity.
