12 months ago, Zoe Ingram was working as a freelance web designer and earning a living, but her says her heart wasn’t in it. That was until she took her first Make Art That Sells course and then entered the Global Talent Search, and everything changed.

It’s hard to believe that Zoe was nervous at the outset, unsure of whether her work was good enough, and never drew in a sketchbook!
One year on, she has been crowned the winner of the Global Talent Search 2013, signed by Lilla Rogers Studio, and, in the last six months alone, has landed licenses and commissions from a host of prestigious companies including a book deal, a home décor product line, a fabric collection, greeting cards for IKEA, and seven foot tall garden totems!

I loved hearing this interview with Zoe and Beth. Zoe sounds awesome. Good questions and I appreciate her honesty about her own insecurities. It helps. It’s encouraging – staying open, trying new things in class and I like what she said about entering GTS – “you owe it to yourself to find out”. I don’t know why so many of us struggle with self doubt, maybe bc there are so many talented people out there, but there’s nothing to lose. I’m so glad I listened to this before beginning 1st big MATS project. Thanks for sharing it.
Zoe and Beth – thank you for such a candid interview! It was so great to here Zoe’s story— I identify with you so much. Right down to the sketching! Lilla, Beth, and you Zoe, have truly given me the clarity to understand what I want, and the courage to in keep working hard and to take big risks, trusting more and more that it will only lead to great things. I am so so happy that I gathered enough courage (like you did, Zoe), before I ever knew any of you, to sign up for the MATS courses.
How brilliant ! was thinking today the days and chances of oportunity through personal achievement have gone , listening to this story has given me new hope, my days have passed too old now , but am happy in the knowlege that there still are the breaks there for young people and up and coming artists. of the future .
So very well done to both Zoe and Lilla
What an inspiration!
Just listened to this interview and it made me so unbelievably happy!
