Episode 6: Portrait Society of America Conference Recap!

from The Confident Brushstrokes™ Podcast · host Stephanie Paige Thomson

Stephanie and Adam recap the 2026 Portrait Society of America conference in Atlanta — Stephanie's 10th year attending and her first year painting in the Face Off. They cover what it felt like to fulfill a goal set a decade earlier, a mid-session lighting crisis rescued by Michelle Dunaway, and how Broadcasting Brushers' three-hour format unknowingly prepared her for the moment. The episode's centerpiece is a sold-out breakout session on mentorship with Michelle, where they trace how one dinner conversation at the 2016 conference cascaded into wonderful opportunities and a friendship that has shaped Stephanie's entire career.
