Top tips from a top art agent: How to deal with envy

How do you deal with envy in your creative career? Art agent Lilla has decades of experience and shedloads of wisdom to share. She works hard to nurture creative people, both her students and her artists alike, and her courses often explore the psychological side of carving out a career as an illustrator.
