In the Art with Soul Podcast, I share my artist&#39;s journey - a behind-the-scenes look at my artistic process, musings on the creative life, and a peek into my creative process and inspiration. I also reflect on how the art and spiritual life are intertwined; offer some inspiration and ideas for using art as healing; and also inspire you to start your own creative art practice. As a self-taught artist with no art school background, I hope that this look into my art journey, and my conversations about the ins and outs of an artist&#39;s life, inspire you to pick up paints and fill your life with colour! If you&#39;re just curious about art, are wondering how to start art journaling, or are new - or even seasoned - on the creative process, I hope you will find something here to delight and inspire you!

On this episode of the Art with Soul podcast, I deconstruct a meme that hypes up starting a business versus working a regular job.

On this episode of the Art with Soul Podcast, I share some thoughts on how you can develop the confidence to call yourself an artist, and to stand behind the art that wants to be expressed through you, in a way that matches your sensibilities. By way of Andy Warhol’s iconic Campbell Soup Can paintings and Lee Ufan’s From Line series of abstract minimalism paintings, I’ll help you challenge the notions of what “real art” means.&gt;&gt; <a href="https://moderngypsy.in/2022/04/01/what-andy-warhol-can-teach-you-about-finding-your-confidence-as-an-artist/" rel="nofollow">Click here for the shownotes</a> &lt;&lt;
