Alumni Guest Post: Linda Arandas “How MATS Home Decor helped me achieve a lifelong dream”

Today, we have a guest post from MATS Alumni Linda Arandas who wrote to us to let us know how the  ‘Creating Collections for Home Decor‘ class had helped her achieve a lifelong dream! So we asked her to share her success in today’s blog post. A few weeks ago I was signed on by Abbey Road Fine Art Licensing (the fresh, artsy division of Penny Lane Publishing).  MATS Home Decor really opened my eyes to the opportunities of art licensing in the lucrative home decor industry. As a traditional artist (without Photoshop experience) I was hesitant to take the course, but I am very grateful that I took the leap of faith. I wasn’t flying alone on this journey…I was surrounded by a group of supportive fellow artists from around the world through the private Facebook group. We were all grateful to be taught by 2 of the leaders

What did you discover about yourself? I saw that nothing is ever finished and I could always do better. How would you describe the course to a friend? I describe the course as a very intense moment and requires a lot of work but it’s an experience to do and
