Ep. 56: Top 3 Things I’m Truly Grateful for This Year

December 1, 2025

Podcast host stephanie gaffney - host of the composed artist podcast

Episode 56 of The Composed Artist Podcast

In Episode 56 of The Composed Artist, host and live wedding painter Stephanie Gaffney takes a moment away from her holiday to-do list to share the top three specific things she is truly grateful for this year: 

  • Her loving and supportive family
  • Her good health (even with the recent challenge of ‘trigger finger’)
  • The beautiful gift of art and the ability to create for a living. 

If you’ve been feeling lost, overwhelmed, or are simply looking for a moment of quiet reflection, tune in for a boost of perspective and encouragement on finding the deeper purpose and joy in your own life, even amidst the chaos.

PLUS, if you’re an artist looking to build or accelerate your live wedding painting career, Stephanie shares an incredible, exclusive Black Friday/Cyber Monday offer for early enrollment in her flagship online course, “The Wedding Painter’s Blueprint.” This is an opportunity she’s never run before, and it’s the exact resource – covering everything from small business development and marketing to fundamental art instruction – that she wishes she had in her early career. 

Listen now to get all the details on how to access this special deal, which is only valid through Tuesday, December 2nd: https://stephaniegaffney.com/wedding-painters-blueprint/
