22 JAN 2020 · In this episode of The On-Purpose Entrepreneur Show, Carol Ann DeSimine interviews Sherita Sparrow, author of Boss Artist: Self Made, Self Paid. The purpose of writing Boss Artist was to show creative how to build a business around their creativity, and live a fulfilling life following their passion. Sherita discusses the book-writing process as a first-time author, how to overcome writer's block, and the importance of being part of a supportive writing group. She also provides an overview of Boss Artist, which provides creatives with an alternative way to make money with their art. She shares how she incorporates the promotion of her certification program, Art Transforms Lives, into her book, and how artists can use their creativity to change lives of the elderly and special needs community. She dispels the myth of the “starving artist” and explains the mindset behind it and how art is becoming more important as we enter the next decade. Sherita shares her WHY story and how her intended career as a graphic designer was sidetracked when she happened upon the art therapy for seniors experience. It transformed her life and now she transforms the lives of others through her business, The Feather’s Touch, and certifies other artists so that they can have that same experience – and make money with their passion.
