Synopsis:&nbsp; 
We talked how Joan got inspired to start her own gallery; a gallery that focused on inclusion vs exclusion and strives to remove barriers to purchasing original fine art. She shared her incredible journey of doing international art fairs and online auctions to expose Canadian artist to a broader world.

Talking to Artists is a weekly casual conversation where artists share their inspirations, process, challenges and business ideas to give art lovers and aspiring artists a peek behind the curtain. Your host is Kate Taylor, a full-time Canadian abstract painter, marketing entrepreneur and current Chair of the Artists’ Network – a not-for-profit committed to supporting visual artists in their business practice. Conversations are meant to capture the feeling of sitting around your kitchen table, chatting and sharing….not perfect and not scripted.
