22. Pursuing Painting Full-Time with Masterclass & Award-Winning Abstract Expressionism Artist, Single Mom, and Grandma – Christina Risse
Living in Dusseldorf, Germany, Christina loves her daily walks along the Rhine River. She considers New York City her second home and enjoys taking walks along the Hudson River and the inspiration that comes from the colors of the sky in Brooklyn. She spent years working for the CEO of one of the big-4 accounting firms and gave that up to pursue painting.
In this episode of Courage Becomes Her, Christina talks about her decision to quit her successful corporate job to pursue painting full-time. She talks about how the pains of life changed her perspective and led her to give up security to follow her heart. She shares about how the fulfillment that comes from doing what she loves surpasses the fulfillment that comes from financial security. She also shares how she works through her fears to keep pursuing what she loves.
