Summary: <p>My guest today, is mixed media artist, Kelly Berghella from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bergerandstuff/"><u>@bergerandstuff</u></a>. Kelly recently left her marketing job to focus on her art full-time. A decision she didn’t make lightly. In fact, Kelly held onto her day job for as long as possible, all the time building the waiting list for her family portrait commissions.</p> <p>With Kelly now ‘all-in’, we caught up and talked about her transition to being a full-time artist. </p> <p>Tune in to hear Kelly chat about: </p> <ul> <li>Developing a style of art that would lend itself to commission work.</li> <li>Focusing on the ‘big picture’, to get through the times when she felt like giving up.</li> <li>Becoming a ‘time thief’ and making the most of small snippets of time.</li> <li>Approaching Influencers to help grow her audience. </li> <li>Taking steps to make sure that she doesn’t become a ‘full-time hermit’.</li> <li>Recognising that there are periods of time when you have to do the hard work and it’s not always enjoyable but that the pay-off will come. </li> </ul> <p>This is a very honest and refreshing conversation with plenty of tips and just as many laughs! </p>
