This week on the Artist Academy Podcast is an interview with muralist and adventurer Emily Beaudoin. I so appreciate how real Emily is with her answers to all the technical painting and business questions I ask her. She’s just like you and me, figuring it out as we go.

Emily and I chat about her experience painting for Lululemon, Black Diamond, and several other name brands. She splits her time between creating murals in the Canadian summer and illustrating things like t-shirt designs in the colder months.

Emily is a fantastic example of what it looks like to lean into what interests you and let that seep into the paintings you create. Listen to hear how she’s navigating a business surrounded by the subjects that inspire her to live an adventurous life.
