I feel seen

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on creativity and creative practice. Absolutely loved the recent episode on the importance of sleep and dreams. It is so refreshing to hear from artists who share their spiritual journey too. As an artist who is a believer, I often feel like the odd woman out. I love hearing about other people’s faiths and spiritual journeys, but I often feel a very clear message from many that it’s okay to share your spirituality in your art so long as it isn’t a Christian perspective.

Thank you!

I really appreciate these podcast! The summer session has been great!. As a amateur artist with the desire to find my voice/style and go pro, it has been good to hear all the input and tips and journeys that you all share. Thank you!

Annoying Host

I love the podcast itself. I just find the host extremely annoying.
