Summary
This week’s episode of the Artist Academy Podcast is an interview with Australian muralist Patrycja Hannagan, also known as Mural Nomad . We talk about how she built a full-time mural career while traveling across Australia, what she learned from completing her 100 Mural Project, and how her business has evolved over the years. Patrycja shares the reality behind life as a traveling muralist, from landing jobs in small towns to managing large-scale projects, teaching other artists, and building a strong community through retreats and mentorships. We also get into some of the harder parts of being a full-time artist including burnout, grief, personal growth, and navigating unhealthy mentorship experiences in the mural industry. If you’re interested in murals, creative business, travel, mentorship, or the behind-the-scenes reality of being a working artist, this episode is for you.
