Bold, Creative, and Dancing Through Life: Cathy Hamilton’s Artful Journey.
This episode is all about proving that it’s never too late to shake things up, chase a dream, and build something incredible. At 57, Cathy Hamilton launched her art business, Cathy Hamilton Artworks, and has been breaking barriers ever since. From her vibrant, Australian-made designs to her bold steps into trade shows, collaborations, and bespoke fabrics, Cathy is an absolute powerhouse of creativity and determination.
We dive into her journey of starting a business later in life, transitioning from her kitchen table to a warehouse, and even dancing and tambourining (sic) her way through trade shows (yes, you read that right!).
Cathy shares the highs, the hurdles, and her unfiltered advice for anyone thinking about pursuing their passion—no matter their age.
If you're looking for inspiration, practical tips, and a whole lot of “wow, I need to start doing that,” this episode is for you! Cathy’s story will have you laughing, crying, and definitely rethinking what’s possible for your business and your life.
🎧 What’s Inside:
✨ How Cathy went from $200 to $4000 wholesale orders and her immediate trade show success.
✨ Why age is a superpower in business and creativity.
✨ The joys (and challenges) of keeping everything Australian-made.
✨ Collaboration magic—like her game-changing partnership with Buy From The Bush.
✨ Bespoke fabrics, Christmas cards, and why you should never underestimate the power of networking.
✨ Cathy’s top advice for artists and entrepreneurs: "If you don’t ask, you won’t know!"
Key Takeaways:
💡 Age is irrelevant—Cathy’s proof that it’s always the right time to follow your passion.
💡 Networking and trade shows = game-changers for visibility and growth.
💡 Staying Australian-made isn’t easy, but it’s worth the fight.
💡 Collaboration opens doors you didn’t even know existed.
💡 Technology struggles? Ask for help. Don’t try to do it all solo!
Whether you’re an artist, an entrepreneur, or just need a good kick of inspiration, this episode is packed with gold. Cathy’s journey reminds us all to dream big, ask for help, and have a little fun along the way. (And yes, you’ll want to be dancing at trade shows after this one.) 🎨✨💃
