Hello it's Antries and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter

podcast. One of the reasons I love making this podcast for you every other week is because I know what it's like to feel like you're not quite in the right place.

I mean, people are nice and I love my friends, but I have a different connection with other artists.

When artists get together, they light up.

Normally shy or introverted people suddenly become animated and hard to shut up.

That's how I know I found my tribe. You know what I mean, right?

It's like Helen said in an iTunes review. When I found this podcast, it made a world of difference.

Now I feel in touch again with artists. I have my peeps and they're here. So you most

definitely are not alone, even if it feels that way when you're in your studio. And now you can connect directly with me and a group of seriously dedicated

artists in Growth Studio, my ongoing mentorship program. Growth Studio is a

place for artists to hone their skills and discover who they are as an

artist in a supportive community. It's a place where artists can get honest

feedback from their peers, trade ideas, and ask the burning questions that pop up when you're trying to get to the next level with your art.

You know, the questions you want to ask, but you kind of feel silly because you mistakenly believe a real artist would already know that.

Gross Studio isn't for everyone, but if it sounds like it might be for you,

head over to savvy painter.com forward slash workshops to learn more and apply. I'm opening a few more spots in the growth studio soon.

This week my guest is Bartosh Beta. He's originally from Poland but he relocated to the UK to study at the Manchester School of Art.

And as you'll hear, he has lived all over the place.

Bartosh paints abstract figurative works that address social and political issues.

In this episode, we talk about the 725 project he's working on during his residency at

Gogel Works in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Minimum wage there is $7.25.
