Your Art Matters

How much time do we spend trying to think our way back to our creativity?
I've done it for years. Sitting with the question, turning it over, trying to figure out the next piece or why things feel stuck. And sometimes that works. But over the last eight months I've been doing something very different and the shift in my confidence, my ideas and the opportunities coming my way has honestly made me stop and pinch myself.
In today's episode, I'm talking about sound, movement and breath, and how leaning into these has reset something in me I didn't even know needed resetting.

CREATIVITY, CONFIDENCE, STORYTELLING AND THE POWERFUL ROLE CONNECTION PLAYS IN HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGE WITH ART
This weekend, I spent a few days at Ceramic Art London and honestly, it was one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave.
For anyone who hasn't heard of it before, it's a huge ceramics show in London and such a brilliant event. I went with my friend Sharon, who exhibits there and creates the most beautiful figurative sculptures and fauns.
There was something really powerful about being surrounded by artwork, conversations and people connecting so deeply with what they were seeing. It reminded me that creativity is never just about the finished piece - it's about the story behind it, the energy around it and the connections it creates along the way.
And more than anything, it reminded me of the importance of simply showing up and being in the room.
In this episode, I talk about creativity, confidence, storytelling and the powerful role connection plays in how people experience and engage with art. I also share some reflections from the weekend and why the stories behind your work matter more than you might think - there is a little task for you to do too.

HOW TO GET SUPREME SELF CONFIDENCE IN MINUTES
Confidence wasn't always something I felt.
There was a period in my life where I felt really anxious, especially around people, and even small moments could feel overwhelming.
But I learned something back then, a simple technique, that changed me and I've carried it with me ever since.
In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing that exact technique I've used to get supreme self-confidence!

"You will never be an artist."
It's a strong statement.
But for many people, it's not just a sentence - it's a belief that's slowly formed over time.
From comparison. From doubt. From trying… and not feeling like it's enough.
This is what I unpack in today's podcast episode.

How do you find your style?
I've asked myself this question countless times over my 25 years as an artist. And I know I'm not alone.
Many artists I meet wonder the same thing: How do I know when I've found it?
We see other creatives whose work feels cohesive, recognisable. It's tempting to think style is something you simply "arrive at." But over the years, I've realised it's not about having a polished, consistent look. It's about finding your voice, and letting your life quietly feed it.
If you'd like a little guidance on noticing your voice and tuning into your creativity, our Kickstart Your Art event can help. You can find the link below:
