Laughers, get ready for a vibrant ride through art, business, and creative grit. In this episode, we’re back with muralist and mixed media artist Laura Thompson—now operating out of the stunning backyard studio she built with her 80-year-old dad. From teaching art and mentoring creatives to slinging paint on 1,000-square-foot murals and crafting heartfelt pet portraits, Laura dishes on what it really takes to make art your full-time gig. Hear her top tips on business mindset for creatives, her tray-organizing hacks (collage lovers, take note), and why investing in yourself matters. We also talk about the power of mentorship and collaboration, the dream-come-true of a home studio built by family, and get a behind-the-scenes peek into her unique collage-meets-painting process. Stick around for a fun round of “Paint, Pitch, or Pass.” Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or just a creative soul looking for inspiration, this episode will leave you feeling fired up to chase your boldest ideas. Cheers!
