Creating Art for a Living

"Follow your own passion—not your parents', not your teachers'—yours."— Robert Ballard Great Escape Radio host, Jody Maberry is joined by Bonnie Caton to discuss making art for a living. Bonnie has always loved art and was one of those kids in school who couldn't wait for art day. But it took her a while to realize she could use her passion for art to make a living. She was told she should follow a "safe route" and study something "normal." When she discovered Great Escape Publishing and attended a photography workshop, she began to realize she could make a living as an artist—despite what others may say. Listen in as Bonnie shares her story and offers advice and encouragement to anyone currently in a "safe" career that really wants to change direction and make a living from art or another creative endeavor.
