Although there are a lot of opportunities for us as artists online, one of the best places to start to grow your business is in your local community. And that’s exactly what Michelle Blanton has done by forming strategic partnerships and building relationships in her local area. She now has multiple streams of income from her art. Listen to today’s interview and be encouraged. About Michelle: Michelle Blanton is a brush lettering and pointed pen artist based out of Calera, Alabama. You can find her on Instagram @lettersbybamamom. She has been doing lettering all her life. Her Dad started her off with her first fountain pen when she was 10 and she was hooked!
