Episode 47 of The Composed Artist Podcast
From Trauma to Triumph, Part 1
In Episode 47 of The Composed Artist, host Stephanie Gaffney interviews live wedding painter Heather Wolfe, who shares her incredibly personal story of overcoming trauma and finding triumph through her art.
In Part 1 of this powerful interview, Heather opens up about her experience as a survivor of the 2012 Batman movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado – and how it impacted her life and career. Heather Wolfe discusses her journey from being an art teacher, to painting at the Westminster Dog Show, to a successful live wedding painter and the creator of FASTONE, a line of pre-mixed acrylic paints.
Heather also offers practical advice for artists on how to manage the high-stress environment of not just live wedding painting – but life, overall – through preparation and self-care. A must listen that goes beyond the art.
