We’re back with another episode of Inside the Artist’s Wallet. For those of you joining us for the first time, Inside the Artist’s Wallet is a YouTube collaboration between me and Stefanie of The Broke and Beautiful Life where we talk with artist’s who are living the dream and not starving to death.
If you missed it, you can check out our first series featuring Patrick Judd here.
Today we’re starting a new series featuring Kitty Ostapowicz, an aspiring television and movie actress with several really cool credits under her belt.
Our first episode with Kitty focuses on how she picked the school she picked, what inspired her to pursue a life in the arts and how she realistically balanced getting a solid education with funding limitations.
Whether you’re an artist or an engineer, at one point or another, you’ve likely subscribed to the view of an accepted “path” or “formula” for achieving your career goals.
In today’s episode of Inside the Artists Wallet, we speak with actress, Kitty Ostapowicz, who has spent her life carving alternate paths. Paths she may not have originally anticipated, but paths that have left her with a great sense of security and confidence in the continued pursuit of her dreams.
Please join us today as we explore the start of that journey with Kitty.

So true… there’s no one path to get anywhere! Kitty was super smart with her money… I feel like necessity can sometimes be the best teacher. What I saw growing up really prepared me to be obsessively responsible with my check book in young adult hood, too. Sometimes to the detriment of my social life. :p Break a leg on the TV scene… I’m routing for you!
