Essie Bergen was the fourth guest ever recorded on Palm Harbor Local. Nearly five years later she's back to talk about what changed: a Hobby Lobby licensing deal, a home studio built by her husband, a permanent display at Honeymoon Island, and a confidence she says she still doesn't fully have. She paints anyway.

What You'll Learn

• Why Essie thinks a little self-doubt is good for an artist
• How the Hobby Lobby turtle found her, not the other way around
• The difference between consignment and wholesale, and why she only does one
• What original art does for a room that a print can't
• How she's using a series of orange paintings to prep for a studio mural
