In this minisode of The Composed Artist, host Stephanie Gaffney talks with Aaron Jacob Jones, a talented artist from the UK specializing in live wedding painting.

Stephanie and Aaron have an open and frank conversation about artist awards and competitions – asking the questions: Are these awards valid? Is their value in these competitions? Could they improve, and if so, how?

Rare insights from two industry veterans in this The Composed Artist minisode!
