When we’re creating we are the closest to the best versions of ourselves. We feel the most alive.
Some things we talk about…
- creative ways to survive as an artist
- Kat’s personal journey from art school to working three jobs to financially supporting herself full-time as an artist
- how artists can use social media to market themselves and
- the most important phrase to know for owning your creativity and pursuing a creative path
“I don’t have to make all my income from my art sales. I can be an artist no matter what else I’m doing to support myself.”
“Tell yourself, I’m not giving up on this. This is what I love. No matter what’s going on in my life I’m always going to carve out a tiny bit of time. This is just a part of you. It doesn’t matter whatever else is happening.”
