7: Being in the right place at the right time with Imogen Bone

It was the allure of Cornwall's palm trees that convinced Imogen Bone that moving south for art college in Falmouth rather than her native Scotland was the right move; and she's never looked back.
In our chat we talk about how choosing to study illustration rather than Fine Art gave Imogen a work ethic and structure that has contributed to her success as both an artist, and a creative business; commercialism is not a bad thing - whatever art colleges might tell you; and how galleries still play a vital part in the creative economy.
You can see Imogen's work in galleries in Cornwall and the Isle of Scilly including:
