39. Art on the Side with Sarah K. Benning

This is a new series on the podcast where I interview all of the contemporary artists in my new book, The Art of Embroidery Design!

Sarah K Benning dives into her experience as a contemporary embroidery artist, her transition from art student to accidental small business owner to a full-time job, and how her creative process and relationship with art have evolved.

Sarah highlights the therapeutic aspects of embroidery, the challenges of sustaining a creative livelihood, and her new role helping to support creative entrepreneurs.
