Episode 18: Dealing with Overwhelm with Artist Vicki Wilson

Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers

In today’s episode of the Creative Type Podcast, we have a discussion about overwhelm with artist and friend Vicki Wilson. We’ve talked about Vicki a lot from the beginning of our show and today we finally get to have her on the show so you can get to know her as well.

In the beginning of the show, we learn more about Vicki and her art then we go into what getting overwhelmed in your art business can look like. Vicki share how she deals with overwhelm before it turns into full blown burnout, which nobody wants.

Vicki Jean Wilson is a whimsical and nostalgic artist working in mainly acrylic and watercolor and often uses a palette knife. She also teaches many different types of classes from individual one on one classes to paint parties all the way to large group team event types. Find her social media information below.
