Craig Williams - Pursuing your Passion

In this episode I talk with Craig Williams, a Tasmania based artist who quit his job as an employment coach to pursue a career in art. We begin our chat with a bit of background about Craig and how his education steered him in a different direction from art. Craig then gives us an insight into how he entered the art world through a variety of commissions and inspirations.  We then talk about Craig's work at a museum which opened up the doors into the world of wildlife illustration, before discussing a climatic shift when Craig makes the jump into a full-time artistic career.  The podcast finishes with a chat around technique, before we hear Craig's final thought.    Find Craig at: Instagram - @cswilliamsart www.cswilliamsart.com www.facebook.com/cswilliamsart/   Find me at: www.tomshepherdart.com Instagram/tomshepherdartist www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt YouTube - TomShepherd Art facebook.com/TomShepherdArt/
