I was delighted to chat with Elinor Trier from ā€Ŗ@ZuzusHausofCatsā€¬ on her brand new art podcast. We chatted about how I became an artist, how sketchbooks support and nourish my art practice and more. It was a lovely enriching art chatā€¦so if you are looking for a new art podcast do check it out. Sheā€™s brilliantā€¦

There are times in my art making when everything feels easy and falls into place and times when everything feels like Iā€™m pushing too hard and nothing is making my heart sing. I have learnt that all these states are transient, no season is permanent and perhaps it is just the nature of creativity, it ebbs and flows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tfPp...
