Roberta speaks with gallerist Bridgette Mayer about her gallery, her passion for working with and helping artists and about how joy is the focus for everything she does. The 32-minute interview is a lively conversation that covers some great material.

Michele Kishita is a Philadelphia-based artist who uses colors found innature that are not typically associated with “natural” colors and focuseson landscape as her primary subject. Her paintings are strongly influencedby the graphic stylizations and compressed spaces of Japanese ukiyo-e.Kishita’s paintings are in a number of private/corporate collections,including Toyota, Capital One, and Kaiser Permanente, and her work isfeatured in Create Magazine, on the Poetry Foundation blog, and StudioBreak podcast, as well as in several literary journals. She exhibited at theSharjah Art Museum in the United Arab Emirates and the Museum ofNon-Conformist Art in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kishita received both herBFA and MFA in painting from the University of the Arts.Was so great chatting with Michele Kishita, artist, writer and teacher about living in Japan and how that time has influenced her art, how her view of artist residencies has shifted and some of her resident highlights. She also discusses her experiences working with gallerist Bridgette Mayer and synchronicities that occurred that made it feel like the right choice to work with an art coach. She teaches writing and gives some great tips for cleaning up your artist statement and she has some great book recommendations and unconventional tips for gowing tomatoes.About her recent body of work: Absent FuturesAbsent Futures is a new body of work on shou sugi-ban (burnt timber)panels that addresses the current state of deforestation and theopposing concepts of resilience and devastation. While our forests andnatural spaces continue receding due to industry and suburban sprawl,the more catastrophic losses are occurring in the rainforest whereswaths the size of forty football fields disappear each minute.Suggestions of landscape painted onto the burnt surfaces depict amemory of what was while at the same time highlighting what remainsand can still be salvaged. It is a reminder of the persistence andvitality of nature and our role in choosing its success or failure, whichultimately determines our own.Her work in general:“My current work investigates the dialogue between the wooden surfaces on which I paint and the trees from which those panels were built. I highlight the interconnectedness of humans and nature, while addressing life’s impermanence and transience. Industry's straight lines and angles try to control nature, transforming a tree’s rounded mass into flat rectangular sheets; yet, the wood grain’s undulations, marking the tree’s growth and annual water intake, emerge despite its new, boxy confines. A tree's experiences are indelibly written on its interior and at the same time are a historical account of the landscape itself. In my paintings, I strive to conjure the landscape that no longer exists but is inherently contained in each panel while expressing the visual contrast and harmony where human-made structures and nature intersect.” from www.michelekishita.comI also want to speak the name of Jacob Blake and send prayers to his family and loved ones. Yes we still need to  disarm the police and restructure the law enforcement and justice system in this country. Oh and the medical and education systems could use an overhaul too. We have work to do.

What was your dream job when you were younger? As you got older did you realistically see yourself doing it anymore? Was your predicament one that nurtured your dream, or was it a far fetched goal? As today's guest, Bridgette Mayer Johnson, dealt with a unsteady and rough childhood, coupled with a lack of financial backing, having a career in the arts didn't seem like a career path that would lead to a fruitful future. But she believed in her love for beautiful paintings and environments, and in 2001 she started Bridgette Mayer Galleries; which is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition to that, she has recently opened up an art consulting firm outside of Los Angeles, California. In her 16 year entrepreneurial career, she has been able to expand her expertise in numerous art related fields, that allow her to express passion in whatever form she chooses. Listen in as we hear Bridgette Mayer's path to success! In this episode you will... Know how to see the potential in yourself to be an entrepreneur Differentiate between an employee and entrepreneur mindset Know your business's place in your market Figure out how to tailor your business to fit what you want to do in your industry Understand the challenges your business will face as you enter into your market Learn the benefits of creating strong relationships with your network and community Find out when and how to create multiple facets to your business Learn how to grow from your struggle INSIGHTS "I had been operating as an owner/entrepreneur in every single job experience that I've had...it was just a defining moment that I realized that I knew a lot about the gallery industry. I knew a lot about the operations of running a business and it was my time to start stepping in that direction." -Bridgette Mayer "So many exciting things have happened for me professionally; things I could never predict. Part of it was stepping on the path to doing what I was truly being called to do." -Bridgette Mayer "No, I don't want to be an employee; I'm operating as an owner. And if I am an owner, essentially I can try anything within marketing and promoting artists, and I can really take on operating a top notch gallery business" -Bridgette Mayer "To go through college and succeed in that, and then to jump into the art world with zero money, and build a multi million dollar business is not a typical story in my industry. So I wanted to put it out there to share with entrepreneurs, and women; with artists, with creative people, to inspire them and give them an example that you can have a challenging life, and you can have a dream to do something and turn it into something and be very successful at it.

You guys. Bridgette Mayer is here on the podcast today. If you're not in the visual art scene then she might not be on your radar. That is until today.To say Bridgette had a rough early childhood is an extreme understatement. She is a product of the New Jersey foster care system and has some horrifying stories to share about what that was like. Fortunately for her (and us) she was adopted by a wonderful family who helped to completely change the way her life has unfolded. In today's episode she and I talk about the role fear has played in her success. We talk about the importance of our decisions and attitude. She tells us a little about why her industry frustrated her and how she has strived to create a new version of it for herself and the artists she represents. We also get to talking about the myth and reality of "The Starving Artist" and how our mindset and asking the right questions play a role in how we can begin to do things uniquely. And if you're an artist (visual, musical, or otherwise) you'll want to listen towards the end when she and I talk about the big beast of self-promotion and how we can overcome our social anxiety.Okay! Let's jump on in!Brave Take-AwaysFor some reason I was intrigued by Bridgette's encouragement to seek out feedback. So your Brave Take-Away from today's show is to take some serious steps towards receiving a new kind of feedback.What area of your life or business have you been trying to "get better at?" Who feels like a safe person to give you some honest feedback? Your challenge today is to seek out that feedback. Either via email, social media, or by way of grabbing some coffee.

Today we're learning from Bridgette Mayer, an artist, entrepreneur and author of The Art Cure: A Memoir of Abuse and Fortune. For the past 16 years she has been running a top contemporary art gallery in Philadelphia helping her clients and the artists she serves improve the quality of their life through art. Bridgette transitioned her gallery from a public model to a private model because many of the artists she has worked with were doing larger, more global projects. This business model better accommodates the needs of artists working on a global scale. “I started to grow rapidly, and part of that growth was always looking beyond the gallery walls.” Bridgette looks for opportunities to exercise her creativity and grow her business outside of her gallery. She attends art fairs; offers consulting opportunities for individuals and corporations; and signs on to larger consulting projects, in which she might sell 2-300 paintings. Larger consultations evolved into consulting on public art installations and municipal art programming.  The next step in Bridgette's evolution was writing The Art Cure to share her powerful story and unique business model. She started running workshops for artists on how to create a vision, build their careers and actually make money. Bridgette is called to work with artists because the most important lessons that she has learned aren't taught in books or in art school – they're taught through years of experience. “You don't find the stuff that I've learned through running my business and working with artists in books.”  When Bridgette talks to artists, she imparts the fundamental habits and beliefs that seven-figure artists have: It starts with establishing a vision about what you're making. What impact do you want your art to make on the world? Completely reconsider your preconceptions about money. Bridgette grew up in poverty and she had to reprogram what she thought was possible for her financially. Effective communication skills are necessary to attract the right audience, and then you need the confidence and language to sell and connect with people. “My goal is to get more artists making a living, thriving and enjoying what they're doing professionally.” I really appreciate Bridgette for her ability to be a beacon not just for artists, but also for people from difficult backgrounds. She empowers her audience to understand that their past does not dictate the future. You can get empowered by picking up a copy of The Art Cure or heading to BridgetteMayer.com.   SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: When did Bridgette first realize art was pulling her, not just personally but also professionally? Give us insight on moving from a public model to a private model. Where did Bridgette learn the business skills she needed to run a business, if she didn't have anyone to teach her? Does Bridgette feel that anyone, with any medium, can become financially successful with their art? Does Bridgette believe that it is people's sense of imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs that's actually holding them back? What habits and beliefs do seven-figure artists have? Does Bridgette have examples of some of her clients to show the process of going from an artist to an artist & entrepreneur? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: A history of poverty does not dictate a future of poverty How Bridgette developed a unique business model for artists The habits and beliefs of seven-figure artists How Bridgette grew her business by transitioning from a public to private business model Plus much more… DON'T STOP HERE… Guest Links & Resources: BridgetteMayer.com | BridgetteMayerGallery.com | BridgetteMayerArtAdvisors.com ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: The Art Cure: A Memoir of Abuse and Fortune by Bridgette Mayer Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins   Production & Development for The Bold Life Movement Podcast by Podcast Masters

"Faith is like a muscle. It's similar to going out for a run- if you don't do it normally run, you're going to sweat and it's not going to be comfortable. If you step into having faith when you don't know what the end is going to be, then that's something you can build every single day and you can rely on it." - Bridgette Mayer   This show is for everyone who believes that their past determines their future. How did a young girl who came through the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DYFS) system and foster care end up in the art world with a multi-million dollar gallery and consulting business? Through the kindness of strangers, fierce determination, and a survivor’s sheer will, Bridgette Mayer’s is a success story for the ages. In her inspirational memoir of gross neglect, violent abuse, and ultimately redemption, she shares her journey from the projects of Jersey City to eventually becoming one of Philadelphia’s most celebrated gallery owners. By following her heart and passion for art, Mayer’s interests evolved from a means of escape into her salvation and her security. She used her inherent self-assurance, natural curiosity, and scrapper work ethic to overcome the damage inflicted on her as a child and create a harmonious, rewarding, and charitable life — for herself and the artists she represents.   Rising Above Your Circumstances   "Anger is a much more proactive emotion than despair. I've used anger and fear to propel me forward. I've learned how to use both pretty well at this point. I've used such experiences to make me a better." - Bridgette Mayer   Bridgette's memoir, The Art Cure : A Memoir of Abuse & Fortune (published by Little Lion press in September 2016), is for anyone who aspires to a career in the arts and who has been told it’s too difficult or impractical to pursue. With bravery and tenacity, anyone can achieve the life of their dreams, no matter how out of reach it may seem. Mayer offers readers a bridge to color and a lifeline of hope for the future. After suffering an abusive childhood that landed her in foster care homes and on the streets, starving and beat up, Bridgette was adopted by a wonderful family at the age of nine and began her life transformation. Her early and challenging experiences gave her a tenacity of spirit, unbreakable creativity and a desire to make her mark in the art world. Now a successful art dealer, curator, art adviser, author and entrepreneur, Bridgette Mayer has spent decades cultivating her passion for art, artists, the clients she advises and finding her way to the top of the art world.   Creating The New Story   "I had a moment of frustration and I said to myself, 'The next 10 things that I'm asked to do, I'm just going to say 'yes' to them and figure it out.' The next day, I got a call from CNN to be on Anderson Cooper's show, 'On the Rise.' " - Bridgette Mayer   Bridgette's background of struggle and overcoming obstacles lead to her current success and spurred her to write, “The Art Cure: A Memoir of Abuse & Fortune.” Her passion for artists and managing them to the highest level as well as working with top collectors from around the world has guided her business the past seventeen years. Bridgette's expertise encompasses a whole approach to art collecting, creating authentic environments both public and private with art. Her mission is to continue to inspire those around her and especially artists, women and entrepreneurs to live the life they dream even in the face of insurmountable obstacles.   Bridgette Mayer Gallery   The Bridgette Mayer Gallery has been featured on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 as a small business “On The Rise” and was recognized as a recommended Philadelphia arts destination in The New York Times Magazine. In 2013, Mayer was named one of the top 500 Galleries in the world by Boulin ArtInfo, and was also featured in the Tory Burch Foundation’s “Women To Watch” series. Mayer has been a featured speaker on many panels in the Philadelphia area and has guest lectured at a number of Universities, where her talks focus on how emerging artists can promote their work and sustain a career in the arts.  A graduate of Bucknell University, Mayer was an active member of the University’s Arts Board for several years.  She is currently a board member of the Arts & Business Council, Philadelphia, PA & Vox Vopuli, Philadelphia, PA.   About Bridgette Mayer   For the past sixteen years Bridgette Mayer has been running a top contemporary art gallery in Philadelphia and helping her clients and the artists she serves improve the quality of their life through art. Growing up in an abusive home in the projects of Jersey City and filtered through the foster care system until she was nine years old, Bridgette was finally adopted by a wonderful family. If you had seen the conditions she grew up in, you would not even believe it that someone could come from there and get to where she is now. She had to learn how to read and get started living a life that was no longer centered around the drugs, alcohol and physical abuse. Over the years she has come through many challenges and worked for her dream of being a top arts professional in the gallery industry. For her entire life, Bridgette had big dreams, and has dreamed the dreams that others said would not be possible. Bridgette is living proof and this is not a Hollywood movie. She literally came from the other side of the tracks and built a life of abundance for herself. From Bridgette: "That is why I wanted to write a book to share my story with you. Part memoir and part how I got my start in the art world, this book is for anybody who might need inspiration or might want to know how somebody like myself who came from nothing, was able to build a multi-million dollar business in the art world. You see, It is possible. I hope you will share my journey and see what is possible for you!"   Resources Mentioned On the Show Bridgette's Book "The Art Cure" Bridgette's Website Bridgette's Art Gallery on Facebook Bridgette's Art Gallery on Twitter B Mayer Art Micheal Gerber's Books The Real-Life MBA by Jack and Suzy Welch Purple Cow by Seth Godin Check out the WF podcast episode with Jake Ducey Tony Robbins' Website   What You'll Hear On The Show 1:50  Josh discusses today's show topics 4:30  Josh introduces Bridgette 5:45  Bridgette shares her childhood history 7:00  What was your birth mom's struggle? 8:30  Bridgette's transitional experience into foster care 13:30  How Bridgette discovered her artistic gift 15:30  Bridgette talks about how her emotional wellness grew because of art 18:00  How did you decide to become a gallery owner? 25:15  What was your mindset like during this transition period? 27:00  What did you write to your mother in your 10 page letter to her? 33:00  What's your connection with your clients? 34:00 What do you do now to cultivate emotional wellness? 36:00  A lot of us deal with fear.

Heather chats with renowned art gallery owner Bridgette Mayer about her incredible journey from an abusive childhood to her rise in the art community.

Today we've got Bridgette Mayer joining us. Bridgette owns an art gallery in Pennsylvania and she is the author of a new book, The Art Cure: A Memoir of Abuse and Fortune. This episode really blew me away. Bridgette spent decades of her life cultivating her passion for art, artist, clients and she advises people all over the world on art. It didn't start like that. Her childhood started in a very abusive environment. It landed her in foster care homes and on the street, starving, actually getting her food from dumpsters out of a window that she had to climb out because her mother had locked her into a one bedroom apartment with her five siblings.
