Ep 84: Emily Getz- Abstract Expressionist Artist- Finding her passion and new career path during Covid- Struggles and fears of being a new artist- What Art means to her

THE CITY CONFESSIONS

Today’s episode features Emily Getz, an abstract expressionist from Bushwick, New York. Emily’s path into the world of art was quite unexpected. As a result of Covid, Emily lost her creative job in the Fashion Industry and found painting as a way to deal with the daily stress, anxiety and worries that we as humans all face. Channeling her energy into this new creative medium, Emily’s acrylic and oil pastel paintings focus on movement, texture, space and color. Offering us a glimmer of hope, a sliver of sunlight, a visual of a daydream, the aim of her paintings is to bring joy, color, and hope into the lives of others.

After showcasing her work on Instagram, she began to gain attention and traffic to her work. When a friend reached out to buy a piece, she realized that people might want to buy her work, so she decided to research ways on how to market herself as an artist. In this episode, Emily talks about the struggles, realities and fears of selling her work, the beauty of finding her passion during Covid, her art process and approach and what art means to her. You can see Emily’s artwork on her Instagram and feel free to support her journey and business by sharing her work to your friends, family and on social!
