About this podcast
This podcast is your creative partner in crime! Inspiring conversations with creative minds about the experience of being an artist and creator. It's not easy to be an artist, especially if you make a living from your art. Creativity is a superpower, that spark that lives deep inside each one of us and drives us to create. I believe that it is our mission as artists to bring more beauty into the world, and the world needs us now more than ever!
