Art + Business + Creativity, with Lynda Cookson and Allan Cavanagh!
Lynda Cookson, Artist and Writer based in Galway, will be giving an unmissable talk on how
building a painting can be like
building a business whilst demonstrating her technique of creating an oil painting.
"It's not such a huge jump from being creative to being businesslike," Lynda claims, drawing on her experience of combining the two worlds. Throughout her own career, she has learned how important it is that your
business life as an artist runs parallel with your creativity; and she will speak about how handling business and promoting your artistic work, can be just as creative as art.
One of Ireland's top caricature artists,
Allan Cavanagh uses his talent as a caricaturist in wide ranging fields, from being a regular contributor to news publications to attending conferences as a cartoonist where he quickly produces large, on-the-spot cartoons based on the themes and objectives of the event. Allan will speak about the skills and knowledge that he has accumulated through
developing a powerful presence online, and how he has established a viable business from his artistic talent.
