Welcome to Bench Talk ā the podcast where I dive into real, honest conversations with inspiring artists, to reveal what it really takes to build a thriving creative career.Iām your host, Tom Gerrard ā an international artist from Australia and Co-Founder of The Art Career Academy, an online school dedicated to helping visual artists rise up and go pro. I kicked off this podcast back in 2016, when I was dreaming of going full-time with my art. And through these chats, I found the path and walked it.
