"Chris" Mummert, a full-time professional artist living in San Diego who specializes in American traditional Western painting with a dreamlike, romanticized quality. He shares with us his journey from aspiring artist to successful full-time painter, emphasizing the importance of discipline, continuous improvement, and strategic marketing. He discusses the challenges of transitioning from part-time to full-time art, as well as his unique creative process involving photo shoots, maquettes, and collaborations with galleries. Mummert stresses the value of feedback and experimentation, and encourages aspiring artists to embrace uncertainty and trust that the universe will support their authentic pursuits. He also speaks about the emotional impact of viewing art in person versus online, and the lessons he's learned from artistic masters like Norman Rockwell and his personal mentors. Finally, Chris tells us all about his amazing new book "The 30-Minute Artist", a book inspired by his own desire to build up his skill and discipline that he compares to a personal painting gym.
