| 12/27/24 | Ep 61: Getting Your First Pet Portrait Commission | Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s near and dear to my heart: getting your first commission. Whether you’re just starting your artistic journey or gearing up for your first paid project, this episode is for you. We’re going to talk about all the feelings that come with that first big step—the nerves, the excitement, the self-doubt, and, of course, the pure joy of delivering something meaningful to a client. I’ll share my personal story of how I got my first commission, the lessons I learned along the way, and some practical tips to help you handle your first project with confidence and heart. Getting your first commission is a milestone worth celebrating, but let’s be real—it’s also intimidating. Get in touch with me!

| 12/20/24 | Ep 60: How to Handle Criticism Without Taking It Personally | oday, we’re going to talk about something every artist has faced at some point: criticism. Yep, that uncomfortable moment when someone points out something they don’t like or think could be better about your work. If you’re a pet portrait artist—or any kind of artist, really—you know how much your heart and soul goes into your art. So, when someone critiques it, it can feel like a personal attack. I’ve been there, trust me. Early in my career, criticism would absolutely wreck me. I’d lie awake replaying someone’s comments over and over, wondering if I was even cut out for this. But over time, I’ve learned to handle criticism in a healthier, more constructive way. So today, I want to share what’s worked for me, including some of my personal stories, tips, and encouragement to help you navigate this tricky part of being an artist. Get in touch with me!

But over the years, I’ve learned some ways to push through those moments, and today, I’m here to share them with you. That's what we'll dive into in this episode! Get in touch with me!

And why not? Why not make our job easier if we have the tools to do that? The subject I’m talking about is tracing, and that will be the topic of today's episode. Get in touch with me!

But let’s be real: it’s also tough! The journey of being an artist can be filled with self-doubt, creative blocks, and moments when you feel like giving up.
