"I aim to nurture and sustain you, keeping your developing creative expression at the heart of your focus, rather than focusing on pressurised production which only dries you up and burns you out.

There is so much more available to us when we realise that we are actually the art."

    13. "The Power of a Ripple Out" with Krystelle Celestino Wurtz

    What happens when you courageously commit to finding your voice in art?

    You start to see glimmers of the "you-est you" and it is LOVELY.

    Powerful.

    Energizing.

    You can make decisions faster and irritating things don't irk you like they used to.

    I'm sharing a recent chat I had with Canadian Artist Krystelle Celestino Wurtz who has been a longtime member of the Art to Heal a Heart Membership.

    She went on to join me for Abstract Refinery Small Group Coaching and was so trusting and brave. We had some big breakthroughs, wept tears and pushed through together with fellow artist Colette Rose.

    We chat about


    what drew her into the Membership and what happened after she joined
    what inspires her to push courageously into new, bigger spaces
    why her hubby packed up the kids' playroom, transforming it into a studio for Krystelle
    the power of a ripple-out
    the difference that community makes and how to build one

    I JUST KNOW that if you are interested in building momentum and authenticity and CREATIVITY is your jam, you will be nourished by this conversation.

    12. Carmel Jenkin "I Just Need to Draw Every Day"

    12. Carmel Jenkin "I Just Need to Draw Every Day"

    In this episode I'm chatting to fellow Aussie artist Carmel Jenkin. 

    Carmel is based in Melbourne and we have known each other just through instagram DMs and comments over the last few years. It was wonderful to finally chat voice-to-voice.

    If you pop through to Carmel’s website or Instagram (I’ve listed all the links below) you’ll see why I love her - her art richly expresses in lines and tones winding a unique poetry around the female form and as you’ll hear in the following story, this is her lifelong commitment and obsession.

    “My work references various personal events and episodes that have shaped my own connection to my body – a journey of self-awareness that hasn't been an easy one. I am forever obsessed with the capacity of the human body to tell a story through line, shape, texture and shade.”

    Carmel has been at this for most of her life, so I know you’ll get a lot out of hearing her seasoned artist wisdom, as did I.

    We kind of just launched right in to our chat like excited long lost friends...

    Listen to our conversation to hear about


    Carmel's experience in NFT Land (What is it and what do artists need to know?)
    Social media for artists.. Instagram frustration, should we really sign up to TikTok? and a bit about the new "old Insta" option Vero.
    how Carmel juggles life as a mother and professional artist working in her dining room at home.
    how Carmel became a professional artist before the Internet
    Carmel's best Instagram Reel and Engagement tips
    Learning to pivot to keep your art Happening

    9. Healing our Broken Belief

    9. Healing our Broken Belief

    Belief is everything.

    One of my most viewed Instagram Reels is a painting process video which featured the question "How big would you dream if you knew you couldn't fail?" I heard some man on Youtube ask this question and upon hearing I felt immediately expanded. 

    In this meaty talk I'll discuss


    how you can tell if your belief is broken
    how to start the healing process
    what difference will this make, anyway?

    There's something to this...

    Here's the quote I promised to report:

    "Wisdom is the recovery of innocence at the far end of experience." David Bentley Hart



    If you LOVE ME and you're feeling it, please remember to

    8. Why Creativity Will Change Society Faster Than Politics

    8. Why Creativity Will Change Society Faster Than Politics

    I posted a Victor Pinchuk quote on my Instagram last night that reads "Art, Freedom and Creativity will change society faster than Politics"... I often repost this one because it contains truth that is rarely heard and practised in mainstream society where the dominant System mentality suppresses and minimizes the expression of the human soul.

    Already I feel as though I should have written notes, haha - but I know I had a couple of inspiration "flow-throughs" so I'm trusting there'll be something nutritious here for you!

    In the episode I referred to Michelle (friend and mentor) from Eka Circle. Here's her website and instagram. If you're needing help to navigate your suffering I highly recommend booking her "Pathways Session" which is by donation, so only pay what you can.

    And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Art to Heal a Heart Membership! To celebrate we have opened for enrolment (immediately access nearly 50 soul-nourishing, skill-improving art classes!)

    Enrol now - We have some exciting birthday rewards coming for all members!

Life changing

Ange’s words have been so inspiring! I desperately needed to hear such a beautiful perspective on how to view my art/process. I have been feeling so discouraged , depressed and distracted with health issues, that I have been forcing myself to be creative , which obviously reflected in my art . Nothing spoke to me and I have scraped more canvases than kept.
Going back to “child like” mode and creating for the process and not the product has helped bring back the joy I so desperately needed. I can’t even put into words how life changing her words are. The world needs more of her positive goodness .

A breath of fresh air!

Highly recommended!! Empowerment at its finest. A hidden gem you are. If I could give you all the stars in the sky rating. I would. I’ve been sitting on this review for 2 weeks. Combing back through the content to adequately communicate the value I find in it as a new Shelee art student. I am a toddler in the medium and your words have cleared up a lot of questions I have and given me tools to delve further in this beautiful artist journey. Quieting doubt. This information for me is priceless. I hope this information spreads far and wide. I am deeply grateful for your work here. You have served me beyond measure.

What a great, empowering podcast!

I have so enjoyed these podcasts- each was very inspiring and meaningful to me. Good concepts, good tidbits, and Ange has a lovely voice. Every episode has left me with at least one action to focus on. My creativity has really soared since I started listening, plus I have gotten takeaways that impact me outside of my art. I highly recommend these podcasts.
