Christa david left a six-figure earning career in public health for a full-time gig as an artist. She makes collages, paintings, and photographs that she sells online, through galleries, and in-person. Here Christa talks about what she learned as a mom at 14-years-old and how that’s informed her art business today, the ups and downs of being your own boss, and what it means to make art as a black woman in America today.
Some things we talk about:
• The three non-negotiables in art and business
• How to deal with jealousy and envy (and avoid the comparison trap)
• The most (and least) effective ways to market your thing
• Transitioning from a six-figure career to life as a full-time artist and
• The ups and downs of being your own boss
