218 - Everything I *Didn't* Learn at Art School - with Rosie Woods

The people you meet will change your life.

As an introvert, I wish it wasn’t the case… but that networking event that you don’t want to go to or that email that you don’t want to send could be thing that changes everything

This weeks guest is Rosie Woods.

Rosie travels the world making art. Her career is a tapestry of establishing connections, exploring ideas and following her curiosity.

I’m proud to have played a small part in Rosie’s career. She became my first ever apprentice about a decade ago. Rosie was curious about spraypaint so emailed for some pointers. That email turned into a four year apprenticeship. Now, she’s one of the world’s most recognised street artists!

Every artists journey is different but after doing hundreds of interviews for this show I’ve noticed some universal truths;

The successful artists are the ones that keep going. They find their style by following their curiosity. Opportunities follow them because they take chances and put themselves out there.
