Conventional “wisdom” holds that “art doesn’t pay the bills”.
Elizabeth Shepard can challenge that statement–as neither wise nor true.
Elizabeth is a professional illustrator and designer, who has been a working artist all her life. And not only does she love being creative for a living–she maintains that others can do the same thing. She conducts classes and has created a workbook to help artists realize their dreams of earning a living with their talents and creativity.
At the Designer’s Showcase of the Craft and Hobby Association‘s 2014 Winter Conference and Trade Show, she talked about her experiences as a working artist and the resources she offers, as the steps towards making a living doing something you love.
