There’s a reason the term ”starving artist” is so ubiquitous: estimates say less than 10% of artists earn a full time income from their art. Yet art of all kinds is universally revered, and the top artists of every form reach international fame and immense financial freedom.
So what about the 90% of artists who struggle to get paid what they’re worth?
The Business of Art is food for the starving artist, as we interview artists across the professional and artistic spectrum about their journey in pursuing their craft, whether it’s as a professional or not.

On The Business of Art, we've already learned the difference between Design and Art from the perspective of a Graphic Designer, and today we hear from Pastel Artist and Interior Designer Melissa Walton.
Melissa has created art for most of her entire life, and she frequently sells her work in local shops or by commission. But a few years ago Melissa decided she wanted to express her creativity in other ways while also creating a new source of income for her family.
After studying at the University of Richmond, she was hired by a local prestigious Interior Design firm, and now several years later she's helping families create their dream homes.
Hear all about Melissa's journey, and how you can find her beautiful art, on this week's episode.
