Here we are, new year, new episodes! After a brief break, Catherine is back with new guests and new topics, but the conversational tone you are all used to stays the same! On today’s episode we meet Heather Hancock, a Chicago-based mixed media artist who works with glass. Her art is inspired by how people are engaged by information in the natural and built worlds. Heather celebrates 15 years as a professional artist after working for over a decade in the health care system. On today’s episode, we talk about the challenges of going from a full-time job to a full-time artist-entrepreneur, the process of connecting and working with art consultants and how Heather has carved a great niche for her art.

Conversation Highlights:

• How Heather connects and conveys her work with art consultants
• How commissions can help an artist explore and grow
• Why setting up systems for follow-ups has helped her grow her business

PLUS: The importance of knowing what you are interested in creating for your clients
