What a great conversation with Freelance Sculptor Irene Matar! I just love her stories about getting started as a freelancer, pounding the pavement for work when she first got started, how she maintains relationships and decides which contracts to stay on... She has so much experience and awesome advice. What's most important? Don't take anything personally. And, if you can't help it, don't let it stop you from moving on and moving forward.
