Occupation: Fine Artist Obstacle: Finding Community with guest LaDara McKinnon

On this week's episode of She Dreams In Color™ Video Series we talk to Fine Artist and Art Entrepreneur LaDara McKinnon https://www.ladaramckinnon.com in Charlotte, NC. LaDara's abstract commissioned piece serves as the backdrop for the She Dreams In Color interviews and is also the inspiration for the show's logo and concept that women are a work of art in progress.

In this episode, LaDara talks with host Jennifer Moxley about her Occupation as a Fine Artist and the importance of artists following their passion but doing so with a business owner mindset. She also discusses her Obstacle of searching for community within the Fine Art space, particularly with other Black women such as herself. Like many creatives, LaDara talks about the challenge to take her passion full-time and acknowledge the possibility her calling can provide a good life as an Occupation.

LaDara describes how her work tells stories and how she takes great care to learn about the people who hire her and the companies who request her commissions. She uses colors and brush strokes to communicate what she hears and always looks for the beautiful side of pain in the triumphs.
