Episode 45: Think It's Too Late For You? Artist Betty Franks Proves Otherwise

Honest Art Podcast with Jodie King

Is it ever too late to start (or start over)? My guest, a widely talented artist named Betty Franks, doesn’t think so.

Betty worked in customer service management for YEARS before she ever picked a paintbrush. In fact, she didn’t take the leap to become an artist until she was 50.

Let Betty be proof: It’s never too late to do the things your soul aches to do.

And in this episode, Betty and I talk about how to get started (or start over), no matter where you’re at in life. We dish out our best advice for new artists of all ages, including:

• How to put yourself out there despite being nervous

• Dealing with naysayers and stepping into confidence (in yourself, and your art)

• How to balance the business and the creative

• Discovering your style (and why it’s a marathon…not a race)
