Episode 35 of The Composed Artist Podcast

In Episode 35 of The Composed Artist, host Stephanie Gaffney interviews Nicolette Arnitz, a live event painter from Southern California, about the experience of going viral on social media. 

From the initial surge of attention, inquiries, and followers that come with a viral post, as well as the subsequent lull and its impact on confidence and self-esteem – Nicolette shares her personal experiences with that virality, including the challenges of managing a sudden influx of emails and inquiries and the mental struggle of feeling the need to constantly recreate viral moments. 

Along with hard-earned tips on everything from pricing strategies to travelling and painting at events while pregnant, Stephanie and Nicolette’s conversation has something for all aspiring and current artists – as well as mothers!
