In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the talented artist, Carol MacConnell, to delve into her life as a full-time professional artist. One of the highlights of our conversation was Carol's passionate expertise in notans, a fascinating artistic technique rooted in Japanese art. She shared how mastering notans is crucial for artists seeking to create impactful and visually striking compositions by understanding the interplay between light and dark.

We also explored Carol's chapter in the Creative Lifebook, aptly titled "Seeing Like an Artist." In this chapter, she eloquently emphasized the significance of training oneself to perceive the world through an artist's eyes. Such a unique perspective allows artists to capture the essence of their subjects and convey deep emotions through their creations.

Carol's insights offered a profound understanding of notans and the artistic mindset, inspiring aspiring artists to sharpen their observational skills and view the world through a fresh and creative lens.
