    Are you trying to get out of a rut in your art practice, feeling like your studio sessions are producing a bunch of ‘nothing’, or disheartened that you are not seeing more progress in your artwork?
    Yep, Bec and Michele have been there too (quite recently in some cases!), and in this episode they are pulling out all the insights, mind-tricks and approaches that keep them showing up and moving forward.
    We’re all wired differently, so it’s about finding the right switch to fire you up, get the creativity flowing and make it fun—whether it’s playing the rebel, banning all pressure and expectation from the studio, seeking out surprise, or experimenting with the power of the incremental.
    Tune in for a creative tune-up!

    You may have noticed we missed an episode last week and that is because Michele is under the weather and has lost her voice.
    So today we put together a special episode focussed on the power of your authenticity as an artist. This is something we've talked about from a number of different angles, and we wanted to bring these ideas together—to dig into what we mean when we talk about your authentic self being the foundation for your art making, and also your art business.
    I hope our conversation can spark some different perspectives and perhaps deeper questions for you to explore:
    Does my art practice really reflect my unique values and ways of being in the world?Are there parts of me I'm holding back from my art, and why?Is how I show up in the studio in alignment with how I show up to share and sell my work?

    The last few episodes Bec and Michele have been talking about the practice of failing in the art studio. But what about when the challenges are coming from outside the studio?
    In the lead up to Michele’s recent exhibition, the universe threw a LOT of challenges her way–from unexpected changes to the exhibition itself, to the flu, falling trees and a rat named Garry. How did she fight to achieve her vision? And, perhaps more importantly, how do we judge the times when we want to push through versus when it would serve us better to pull back?
    This conversation ranges across tenacity and turkey sandwiches–it’ll all make sense by the end!

    Bec and Michele are doing a 30 day art challenge, but not the kind of challenge you might see on Instagram… this is about deliberately failing (proper, ugly failing), making bold and risky moves that don’t work out, and creating pieces that leave you thinking, ‘well that’s definitely not it!’.
    This episode digs into what this kind of ‘practising failure’ looks like on a day to day basis in the art studio, and the multiple layers of enquiry, understanding and possibility it can uncover. Michele talks about important questions to frame the process and how to guide yourself moment-to-moment without getting stuck on the idea of having one vision, one style, one feeling forever.
