Reflecting on the process and the outcome
Karen reflects on how being an artist and a business owner brought challenges of balance, priorities, and functionality. As a new mom reconsidering her schedule, she was faced with considering outsourcing part of the creative process. What were the essentials of her business? What does success look like? Knowing she herself was the answer and her printmaking business was a means for sharing a message, her reflection led to confidence and clarity in sharing both her work and the process.
