Ep. 28: The Accidental Wedding Painter – From Homeschool Mom to Thriving Artist w/ Laura Herndon

Episode 28 of The Composed Artist Podcast with Laura Herndon

In Episode 28 of The Composed Artist, host Stephanie Gaffney has a conversation with Laura Herndon, a successful live wedding painter based in San Antonio, Texas, who is also a student of Stephanie’s Wedding Painter’s Blueprint course.

Laura shares her journey into the world of wedding painting, which began later in life after homeschooling her children. She discusses her initial anxieties about painting in front of people, how she overcame them while working at a “paint and sip” studio, and her eventual leap into starting her own wedding painting business. Laura credits Stephanie’s “Wedding Painter’s Blueprint” course for giving her confidence and business knowledge to strike out on her own.

Laura also emphasizes the importance of community and mentorship in the art world, discussing the challenges and joys of teaching art, including to her own daughter, who now also paints weddings.

Laura encourages aspiring wedding painters to embrace risk, practice consistently, and not be afraid of the business side of art. An incredible story and great insights for any artist!
