👋 Welcome back to another episode of the How To Be A Handmade Boss podcast!

🎨 In this episode, I chat with HBSA student and fantasy artist Laura, from The Daydream Emporium, who draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and the quirky creatures that inhabit it. We discuss Laura's creative journey, her unique approach to art, and how she turned her passion into a business after gaining her degree in Technical Arts and Special Effects and a masters degree in Children's Book Illustration.

🎙️ Topics of conversation:

  • Laura's artistic process and the inspiration behind her "ugly fairies" and other whimsical creatures.
  • The challenges she faced in the commercial art world and how she found her own path.
  • The importance of finding your target audience and building a community around your work.
  • Tips for managing a handmade business while balancing family life.
  • Insights into the impact of the Handmade Boss Success Academy (HBSA) on Laura's business growth.

Whether you're an aspiring artist or a seasoned handmade business owner, this episode is packed with motivation and practical advice to help you thrive in your creative endeavours.
