In this episode, Cat chats with illustrator and painter, Angela Pilgrim. After committing to teach herself how to illustrate she took her hand into exploring the world of printmaking and launched her own company Fruishun back in 2016. Since then, her brand has been featured in Huffington post and partnered with Planned Parenthood to raise awareness in bridging access to affordable services. Fruishun operates on two planes, it’s an expressive empowerment brand for women and a progressive art haven for artists to collaborate.
Throughout their conversation, Angela talks about how her willingness to say yes to the unknown inspired the creation of her company, what resources she used to self-teach the complexities of illustration, and much much more!
