Molly Egan is an artist from South Philadelphia who finds inspiration in Eastern European and Mexican folk art. She has always wanted to be an artist and pursued a career as an illustrator.
“Transitioning from a college student to a professional artist is definitely a bit of a bumpy road,” Molly said in an interview for Ramona magazine. “During that time, I think it’s so important to continue to make work. A lot of people stop creating and lose the motivation they had while in school. Having a group of friends that are also artists going through the same situation is super helpful too. To be honest, I still feel like I am in the transition period being almost 3 years out of school. Just remember that having income be 100% from art is a slow process for almost everyone. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a day job that helps support making your art!”
