Your Art Matters ·

2025/10/14

The world is changing fast, and as artists, we feel it deeply. Whether it’s in your work, your business, or life itself, change can bring fear and uncertainty but it can also open the door to something new. In this episode, I talk about how I handle change when everything feels unsettled: how I ground myself, tune out the noise, and trust the next step even when I can’t see the full path yet.

Your Art Matters ·

2025/09/08

Whose voice are you really listening to when you create? 👀 Friends, family, strangers and all their opinions can be endless. I’ve been there, making choices based on what others thought was “right” instead of trusting my gut. This week, I’m sharing why following your intuition matters more than chasing trends or bending to advice. And I’ll tell you how my Nanny Dot inspired me to stay true to myself and stop changing for others.

If your brain is full of creative ideas, projects, and “what ifs” and you’re struggling to choose what to focus on next - this episode is for you. I’m sharing how I take all the ideas out of my head and onto paper, how I organise them into meaningful categories, and how I figure out what actually matters most right now.

Your Art Matters ·

2025/07/28

Half the year has gone already. If you haven’t had a chance to stop and reflect yet, you’re not alone. In this episode, I walk through my mid-year review process. From creating a timeline of the past six months to mind-mapping what I want more of, this is how I reset, refocus, and gently bring myself back to what’s important. You don’t need fancy planners or perfect goals. Just a bit of time, a pen, and some honesty about what’s working and what’s not. I hope it gives you a bit of space to pause and

Ever wonder why I’m always talking about pineapples? I am a huge believer in the power we have to design our own lives. Our thoughts, feelings and decisions shape the life we live today.

Join us for a powerful live conversation with artist and educator Alain Picard, as he shares the moment that changed everything in his creative career. For years, Alain travelled the world teaching workshops and painting commissioned portraits. On the surface, it looked like success.

A decision to stop doing it all the hard way

2025/04/30

Have you ever wondered if it’s actually possible to make a living from your art—without having to be connected, represented, or selling in galleries? Years ago, I had this wild dream. I wanted to make art on my own terms, work from anywhere in the world, be around creatives, and somehow still make a living. At the time, it felt completely absurd. But then I discovered this whole world I didn’t even know existed—a way to take what you know, love and do… and turn it into recurring income every month

Your Art Matters ·

2025/03/20

Last week, I found myself scrolling through social media—something I don’t do often—and within minutes, I was bombarded with conflicting opinions. One post told me I should be making art every day. Another said galleries were a waste of time. Someone else had a completely different take on pricing. It was a flood of “you should do this” and “you must do that.” And suddenly, I started questioning everything. That’s when I realised: this is exactly how we lose touch with ourselves.

Have you ever paused to consider the messages hidden in your own art? Every piece we create has something to teach us—not just about the world, but about ourselves. In this episode, we’ll explore how the act of creating is both an expression and a mirror, showing us feelings, questions, and truths we might not even realise we carry. I call this send and receive. Some of my art is just about making, I don’t reflection it - it’s a tool. Yet, the more I create the more I have learned how to reflect
