This fortnight, Laura and Ros are bringing you another interview episode with Patrycja Hannagan or PJ who is a travelling artist with 14 years experience in Fine Art who offers custom murals and teaches and mentors other artists. Currently she is in the midst of a really impressive project of painting 100 murals while travelling around Australia. 

In this chat we dive into PJ’s background starting out as a creative kid in primary school. After leaving school Pj bought a one way ticket, landing herself in Canberra, where she worked and studied business. She says she lost touch with her art for a little while when she transitioned to a corporate sales career. But when she started opening up about her creative side and showing her friends and colleagues new creative opportunities started to come her way from art commissions to teaching.

During the pandemic she got asked to do a mural and after completing the first one referrals kept flowing organically and it took about 3 months for her to transition into art full time. PJ shares some really valuable tips for anyone interested in adding murals as one of their creative income streams. PJ also runs a Facebook group to support other artists called the “Thriving Artists” link below.

Hope that you enjoy this chat - We love hearing from our listeners, let us know what takeaways you have from this episode!
