Moving Forward with a Body of Artwork
Welcome back. If you've listened to episode 98, you know I took a year off the podcast to attain my MFA. I'm happy to share that I completed a one-year accelerated MFA program in Media Design through Full Sail University.
Completing the heavy grad school workload while keeping my job required hours after work every day and on weekends in addition to a 40-hour work week allowed for very little sleep, even less housekeeping (thank you to my husband for hanging in there), and no time for painting or podcasting. Thank you to you, my loyal listeners, who hung in there. The show is back, and I'm excited to continue my conversations with you, my fellow artists.
Now, if you're a longtime listener, then you know that for me, this show is all about you, my sister, and what you need as an artist. But since I'm jumping back in after a long break, I am checking in and letting you know what's coming up.
This episode will give you an idea of some epiphanies I've gained during the year that can help other artists. The next podcast will resume my interviews with artists and professionals whose businesses provide resources that support artists.
In looking back on how much I was able to cram into the past year to achieve a big career goal, the key takeaways from my grad school experience that can help artists can be put into four steps:
Step 1: Have a clear picture of where you want to go.
Step 2: Know your risk tolerance.
Step 3: Pick a direction through ideation and research
Step 4: Make consistent progress your goal.
