Maybe you try one thing and it doesn't work or it changes, then just flex with it.

You have to be agile as an entrepreneur and flex. Hi and welcome to Art Juices is honest, generous and humorous conversations to feed your creative soul and get you thinking with me Louise Fletcher and today I have a special guest. I am joined by I'm going to say your last name wrong I'm going to do my best.

Bibi Jignile, is that wrong?

Tell me here to say.

The easiest way to remember it is, gin a lot, like I drink gin a lot but I don't. Okay I'm not drinking any yet.

Maybe gin a lot that is how yes you got it. You got it. Okay. I've always said that wrong then so So hi, Bibi anyway, thank you for being here.

Excited to be here. So, Bibi, a very brief introduction from me and then she will correct me if I've missed anything out but

Bibi is an artist I followed on Instagram and online for I think as long as she's been going pretty much she's in Southern California. She paints certainly primarily abstracts. Maybe you do something else. She had a former career as a business woman owning her own business as did I and I thought that would be a really good

introduction into a topic that I'm not sure we've discussed on Art Juice which is our main topic will be art as a second act,

as a second act or an art career as a second act,

so having done something else,

then built a successful art career after that. Biby works in the ICB building in Sausalito,

which is a massive building filled with artist,

from what I understand, I have not been to it.

She holds open studios there. Her work is also shown in several galleries.

And she's just an amazing business woman and if you know anything about her or you follow or on

Instagram you'll see how many painting she sells it's it's miraculous and

amazing and what is your website baby and your Instagram before we get started so people can look that up. Yeah, thank you. It's B. B, I, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, Bibi B I B Y G art. Perfect. So because I always find that frustrating when I'm on a podcast and they're talking about some to an artist now want to go look them up and see and

they don't say until the end where you can find them. So if as you're listening you want to look at

Bibi you can do that while we're talking. So did I miss anything first of all? I know that's a very

potted history. I'm sure I missed all sorts. Well I'll just talk really briefly. I

painted at age 10 and then I had a critical teacher and became a perfectionist so I stopped painting and did all sorts of things from being a computer programmer to working in adventure travel to working at Williams Sonoma and marketing.
