The Artist’s Journey

Join Ping, Sarah, and Dorien as they talk about the artist's journey on this week's episode of Thriving Woman Artists. Listen in to find out how the trio became professional artists and how nobody is an overnight success. Hear all about how they got started, where they are now, and where they're going next.  KEY TAKEAWAYSEveryone's journey is unique. The three hosts all came from different backgrounds and started their artistic journey from different points. They didn't all go straight to art school, instead studying and working in other fields before their passion for illustration drew them in.Art school doesn't have to be the starting point. Dorien applied for art school and a course in scientific drawing but was not accepted. Not every great or successful artist went to art school. There are no set paths to becoming an artist. We all have different goals, success should be measured against ourselves, not compared to anyone else. Weather your goal is to write a book, launch your own stationary line, or expand your greetings card business to more stores. You set your own targets. BEST MOMENTS ‘I said I'm going to work on my art full time.
