7. Transitioning to Full Time Art Career with Lindsey Kooyman
This week we have Lindsey Kooyman interviewing LIVE. I was drawn to Lindsey\u2019s vibrant, psychedelic, trippy, style of painting animals. It\u2019s kind of similar to my own rainbow style animal paintings, which probably explains why I love her art so much, but I think it\u2019s so interesting how two different artists in two completely separate cities are drawn to the same kind of style, yet we both put our own spin on it. For a long time I got so caught up in the idea of, \u201coh someone has already thought of that so if I did it too I\u2019d be copying them,\u201d but that\u2019s not rational at all. I know several artists who do similar things and they all execute it differently. You can tell the difference between his painting or her painting, just like you can tell the different between mine and Lindsey\u2019s, even though they\u2019re all the same subject or style. I love Lindsey\u2019s positive energy in this episode and how open and honest she is about her art journey. If you\u2019re still in the transitioning period between having art as your side hustle and hoping to go full time, then I bet you\u2019ll be able to relate to a lot of what Lindsey has to say. Okay, enough of the intro, I\u2019ll press play so you can see what I\u2019m talking about.
