Whether you’re just starting your artistic journey or gearing up for your first paid project, this episode is for you. We’re going to talk about all the feelings that come with that first big step—the nerves, the excitement, the self-doubt, and, of course, the pure joy of delivering something meaningful to a client.

Ep 60: How to Handle Criticism Without Taking It Personally 8:42

oday, we’re going to talk about something every artist has faced at some point: criticism. Yep, that uncomfortable moment when someone points out something they don’t like or think could be better about your work. If you’re a pet portrait artist—or any kind of artist, really—you know how much your heart and soul goes into your art. So, when someone critiques it, it can feel like a personal attack. I’ve been there, trust me. Early in my career, criticism would absolutely wreck me. I’d lie awake replaying someone’s comments over and over, wondering if I was even cut out for this. But over time, I’ve learned to handle criticism in a healthier, more constructive way. So today, I want to share what’s worked for me, including some of my personal stories, tips, and encouragement to help you navigate this tricky part of being an artist. Get in touch with me!

And why not? Why not make our job easier if we have the tools to do that? The subject I’m talking about is tracing, and that will be the topic of today's episode. Get in touch with me!

It's essential for us as artists, but we sometimes don’t talk about it enough: the importance of support from those around us—our family, friends, followers, clients, and even our art community. Today, we're discussing something beyond technique, talent, or passion. Creating art, especially pet portraits, isn’t just a job for many of us. It’s a passion, a calling. But let’s be real: it’s also tough! The journey of being an artist can be filled with self-doubt, creative blocks, and moments when you feel like giving up. That's why the support we receive from others can be the fuel that keeps us going. Get in touch with me!

There’s nothing quite like capturing the personality of someone’s beloved fur baby on paper. It’s such a rewarding experience, not just for me as an artist, but especially for the pet owners who get to see their pets come to life in a whole new way. Because, as any pet owner will tell you, our pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. And every portrait carries with it so much emotion, whether it’s about celebrating their playful personalities or honoring a pet that’s no longer with us. Get in touch with me!
