223. Monica Martin

This episode we bring on artist Monica Martin. A self-taught artist, she has built a unique creative life around the lessons, connections and consistency that has allowed her to build a gift card business, license her artwork and teach others the value of art and creativity. She shares her journey from being divorced to starting over and building her art skills. She talks about her journey into licensing, which I encourage others to try out, creative tips and ending words of wisdom. You can see Original Artwork, Greeting Cards & Home Decor online at monicamartinfineart.com greeting cards at @babacoffee & @carlsbadvillagemusic This was recorded live at Baba Coffee, so if you hear a little background noise from people and sounds that would be the busy atmosphere of the coffeeshop.
