Margo is joined by listener favorite guest Beth Buffington. Beth is a licensed illustrator, and an online digital illustration instructor, creative coach, and podcaster. Like most creatives, she has been drawing since she was old enough to hold her favorite red crayon. After graduating with a degree in art and graphic design, Beth began her creative career working for “in-house” corporate art departments. 
After years of corporate communications, she decided to focus on her personal creative passions, by starting her own business. Her work has grown into several facets including home decor products, course creation and her latest creative outlet, adventure exploring and podcasting.

 

Margo and Beth discuss:

• Beth’s creative path from in-house designer to entrepreneur

• The importance of making time for self-improvement and finding joy in learning something new

• Benefits of using technology, like Procreate, to create art anywhere

• Challenges of rejection and finding a supportive community in pursuing creative work

• How she discovered her passion for teaching

• Balancing creative pursuits with other responsibilities

• The power in consistent creativity and its effect on health

• Her upcoming course, free workshops and podcast

• And more!
