Today I'm talking about a redo. A redo of a painting I created that I never felt great about, but that resided in my living room for months because it felt safe. It felt comfortable. And how every time I looked at it I didn't love it, but I kept living with it until one day I was called to transform it into something very different. Something much more bold. Much more flowing. Much more true to the real me.

As part of this episode I talk not only about the evolution this painting went through, but the personal evolution I went through in realizing who I really am and what is more true and authentic to me.

In today's episode I talk about how I learned to tap into a state of my own creative flow by "feel." I discuss what I mean when I use the word feel, how it's not about thinking or doing what someone else has taught us to do, but instead it's driven from within us, and how we all have the ability to begin flowing by feel. I share how my journey of flowing by feel was one I discovered as I took on ever-increasing creative roles including my time as an interior designer, and how flowing "by feel" has influenced my work as an artist and creative.
