Step Out, Blossom: Creativity Beyond Comfort with Johanna Levina Oliver

This week on the Colour Me Happy podcast, we welcome Johanna Levina Oliver, the incredible botanical paper artist and founder of Black Tree Designs, joining us all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. Johanna’s breathtaking work will inspire you, but her story and wisdom will truly leave you ready to step into your power as an artist.

We dive into why comfort is the enemy of joy and share two tips to step out of your comfort zone:

1. Start Small but Be Brave: Push your boundaries with tiny, manageable steps daily—new tools, subjects, or techniques.

2. Embrace Vulnerability: Share your creative journey, even if it feels raw or unfinished; growth lies in openness.

Listen to this relatable and empowering conversation, and prepare to ignite your creativity like never before. Check out Johanna’s stunning designs to see artistry that truly blooms!
