Finding Your Creative Mother Tongue ✷

Muse Fruit take two. This episode with my friend and artistic powerhouse Aimee Vandersteen really hit the nail on the head of what I had envisioned for this podcast. I put a lot of pressure on myself in the first episode, and I felt a lot more free this time around to be fluid and exploratory in the flow of conversation. My vision for this podcast is clarifying and deepening organically over time. This time around, Aimee and I were together in the same physical space which was also such a treat.

In this potent discussion, Aimee and I discuss philosophical concepts around developing a personal artistic language through symbols and story. Like finding a personal mother tongue, a language spoken only by you. Aimee shares about her creative process and how she connects to the Muse. We speak candidly about somewhat far-out perspectives on what it means to grasp fluency through our art.

What is Muse Fruit? It is the worthy pursuit of trying to make tangible something ephemeral. Inspiration. The why we do what we do, and for who? The ripeness of manifested vision, the fruit of our labors. An outward offering however short lived or preserved. This podcast is a place for the kinds of conversations I want to be having and hearing. Where I am speaking to people who inspire me, and about what drives them in their creative endeavors. I hope for this to be a place where sensitive creatives can feel a sense of community and camaraderie, to bond over shared drive and struggle. And hopefully, to leave you with some lingering sweetness.

Muse Fruit is hosted by Franco-Ontarian painter, illustrator and singer Vero Coya.
