Inspiring for Artists in all niches
I love listening to Miriam every week. She has a wealth of knowledge about art practice and art teaching, and her she hand picks her guests so that we as artists only receive the best advice. This latest podcast with Beth Pickens was so inspiring and encouraging. The part that particularly resonated with me was never fearing to produce less than perfect work. It is all part of a warm up on the way to producing our best work. I recommend all artists out there to subscribe to the Inspiration Place podcast to not miss any of it.
