Episode Commissions with Brandi Salmon
In this episode, I chat with Brandi Salmon, a Wiradjuri and Tongan artist based in Lutruwita Tasmania about commissions. We talk about the ups and downs of working on commissions, from pricing and client expectations to protecting your creative energy and building long-term confidence.
Brandi shares how she approaches work including landscapes, murals, portraiture to live wedding painting, and how the mix of commission and personal work has helped her grow artistically. She also opens up about the emotional and logistical sides of working with clients, why written boundaries are essential, and how she uses forms and automation to stay sane. We also dig into the impact of mentorship and the importance of finding peer support, especially as a young or emerging artist.
