Katie McGowan made a bold career shift from a lucrative tech job to pursue her passion for art full-time. After eight years in corporate roles, she leveraged contract work to sustain her art business while validating market demand. The turning point came when she organized her own solo exhibition, a risk that resulted in immediate success and confidence-building by selling multiple paintings. McGowan credits her tech skills for helping her structure and automate her creative business, allowing her to focus on her passion for painting.
"Running my own creative business was a goal I always kept in the background - something I hoped for, but didn't always believe was realistic."
"That exhibition was a turning point for me - I sold four paintings in one month. It gave me the traction I needed."
