Ep 3 - Raglan artist Miranda Jane Caird Ep 3 - Raglan artist Miranda Jane Caird What does it really take to make a living from art—consistently, sustainably, and without losing the love for creating? Raglan artist Miranda Jane Caird opens up about the business reality behind being a full-time painter for more than 20 years. From raising her son as a single mum to sending more than 1,000 original works out into the world, Miranda shares how financial necessity shaped her creative discipline, her decisions, and her success. We talk about the practical side of running an art career: keeping a steady income, selling through galleries, moving into her own giclée print production, and learning how to thrive as an artist without chasing the limelight. It’s an honest, grounded conversation about creativity, independence, and building a life where art pays the bills — and feeds the soul. Listen
