Show Notes at: https://www.pencilkings.com/podcast-home/

“This whole idea that we should be as good as whoever it is next to us is just crazy. If you really want to do something badly enough and you step into it, then you will be taken care of.” ~ Tracy Verdugo

Want to know more about how to live creatively?

Sometimes, finding the one thing you’re truly passionate about as an artist can be tricky...and having some guidance along the way can really help.

But where should you look to for guidance...and how can you get to that stage in your life when you’re completely satisfied with where you’re at as an artist?

In this week’s interview, mixed media artist, Tracy Verdugo, reveals how she found the courage and the inspiration to develop her career and learn how to live creatively...even though she didn’t decide to follow this path until she was 33.

This journey hasn’t always been easy, and Tracy’s had to overcome many hurdles to get to where she is today...but she’s learned something from each and every experience, whether good or bad.

And now, in this revealing interview, she’s sharing everything she’s learned with you.
