EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: "I just wanted to be noticed. I didn't know that my paintings would sell to anyone." LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? I think our becomings happen so gradually that we don't even notice it until we've finally bloomed. The blooming part always seems so serendipitous, too. Because we had no idea we were becoming all along. In this episode, I sit down with Amira Rahim, a contemporary abstract expressionist painter, to hear the story of how she became an artist. It wasn't all paint clothes and easel and painting on the side of the streets until she got her big break - I know, that's what I expected, too. It was more law school and trying out different jobs until one simple line from a movie changed everything for her - it was that serendipitous moment of her becoming. Amira shares about how she went from blogging about her art to working full-time as an artist, what changes when your art becomes a business, dealing with negative feedback, and getting comfortable with fear. SUBSCRIBE + LISTEN ITUNES STITCHER WHO IS AMIRA RAHIM?
