We had the good fortune of connecting with Wayne Flint and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Wayne, why did you pursue a creative career?
I pursued an artistic career because it’s a profound way to express emotions and ideas, transcending boundaries and connecting with people on a deep, visual level. Art allows me to convey my unique perspective and share stories that resonate with others.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is a reflection of my passion for capturing fleeting moments of beauty and emotion. What sets me apart is my dedication to exploring a diverse range of styles and mediums, from graphic art to digital illustrations, allowing me to create a unique blend of visual experiences.

I’m most proud of the connection my art forms with people, evoking emotions and sparking conversations. My journey to this point has been filled with challenges, but each obstacle has been a stepping stone to growth. Perseverance and a commitment to continuous learning have been my allies.

One crucial lesson is that success is a process, not an overnight achievement. It requires consistent effort and a willingness to adapt. I want the world to know that my art is an invitation to see the world through different lenses, to find beauty in the ordinary, and to be inspired by the extraordinary. My brand is a journey of discovery, and I hope my audience joins me in exploring the depths of creativity.
