Geoffrey Stein leaves litigation to become a portrait artist

The Lawyer's Escape Pod

Geoffrey Stein is a litigator turned portrait artist. Geoffrey initially went into the law because it was something reasonably stable to do with a liberal arts degree. Although he wasn’t passionate about it, he found himself at the top of his class and going down the standard firm route. He practiced in a few different arenas, while trying to incorporate more and more of his long-standing love for art. Eventually he decided to go all-in and leave the law to be a full time painter.

In this episode we discuss:

• Art was always a part of Geoffrey’s life
• Geoffrey knew that big law wasn’t for him
• Geoffrey tried to combine his practice with his interest in art for many years
• Eventually Geoffrey went all in on his art career
• It was a gradual process to identify fully as a painter, not a lawyer
