Hello there it's Antrice and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter

Podcast. The Savvy Painter Podcast is the antidote to an uninspiring job. Let's face it, even if you love your job, there are days when you just rather be in your studio painting.

I know what that feels like. Years ago when I art directed video games at Disney, even when it was a job that I loved, there were plenty of days, weeks even, when I'd wish I could just lock myself in my studio and work on my own paintings.

I learned to see my job for what it was, my personal patron and a stepping stone to get me where I was meant to be.

So whether you love your job and just need a boost to get you

over the hump or if you have the boss from hell and feel like it's sucking the life out of you,

Savvy Painter is here to help you reconnect with your creative self, to inspire you by connecting

you with other artists who work as hard as you do and show you that you are not alone.

Every Thursday I bring you stories from artists like Harry Stichinoff, Deborah Paris, Steve

Delus, and Peggy Curl Roberts, artists who struggled with when or if to quit their day job.

Learn how Harry stayed engaged with his art while working full-time.

Discover what Steve did to protect his creative energy.

There is no single way to solve the challenge.

You can listen to different approaches and hear what each artist

needed to have in place before they dove into painting full-time.
