In this episode of the Pencil Pushers Podcast, host Mike Rosado reconnects with illustrator Louise Lockhart, founder of The Printed Peanut. Since her last appearance in 2019, Louise has undergone significant life changes, including relocating with her family from city life to a farm in Monmouthshire, Wales. Mike and Louise discuss how this move has impacted her creative process, business, and personal life.

Louise shares her experiences of balancing motherhood, managing her business, and staying creatively inspired. She emphasizes the importance of taking breaks and making decisions that prioritize personal fulfillment over financial gain. The conversation, much like their previous one, is filled with humor and candid reflections on the challenges and rewards of choosing an unconventional path.

Louise's journey is a testament to the courage required to embrace change and pursue a fulfilling artistic life. Mike enjoyed reconnecting with his fellow art pal from across the pond and believes listeners will enjoy the conversation just as much. So, without further ado, sit back, pull up Louise's Instagram, and enjoy this chat with Louise Lockhart!
