Erica Pinto - The Canadian Hand Lettering Specialist. | Passion Behind the Art 137.

On the latest episode of PBTA, Darold introduces us to Erica Pinto. Her creative gift comes in the form of calligraphy and she makes her living as a lettering artist. Erica attended a creative arts high school, but her journey took root in 2015. After the birth of her second son, she decided to get back into drawing with her husband. She drew inspiration from others within the art community on Instagram. Those early attempts at drawing letters and posting them online later resulted in requests for custom pieces. What Erica labels a hobby, has allowed her to make revenue from teaching classes, selling workbooks and creating custom lettering for several companies. She has plans to go further with teaching by allowing online courses for those unable to physically attend her classes. Throughout the interview, you see where her passion lies. You can hear it when she describes what it took to get her where she is currently and what she has her sights set on for the future. She offers advice that can help you at every step of your own personal creative journey as well. Don’t take my word for it though, listen for yourself. Happy Listening!
