Ep 24 - Taylor Meagher - Red Lines Dancing - Tales of an Artist..

Today’s conversation is with Taylor an artist who expresses her creative energy through painting & dancing!

Since coming across her works, I have been truly captivated by the way she constructs the energies of her pieces & her use of colours give me a feeling of home.

Taylor has recently stepped into a new artist name called “Red Lines Dancing” which I love- Check out her art HERE

We chat about her womb-centric art series, the story that brings her to the land we recorded the podcast on & other parts of the artists journey.

We didn’t get to chat about her new artist name red lines dancing on the day, so here is a snippet about her new artist name from a piece of writing she posted on her instagram @redlinesdancing

“My recent business name birthing is greatly inspired by my movement. The movement that I’ve come to realise is interchangable between my paintbrush strokes and the way I love when the music hits the sweet-spot. It’s the same creative spirit, the energy that dances through me is the same energy that kisses the canvas.

Dance is not only my outward conversation with the muse, a form of storytelling, but it’s also the way I’m able to process emotions. Art similarly offers the capacity to process and heal as well… Body & Brush as one”

I hope that this conversation adds an extra bit of sparkle to your day!

Ep #23 - How do I start a Market Stall for my art? // ART TIME with Julia Jay

Are you looking to start a Market Stall for the first time? Well I hope this episode can be helpful in the beginnings of your Creative Journey!!
I have only been doing Market Stalls for 5 years so this episode is just based around what has worked for me so far, its always good to listen to lots of different people as you scout out information and then PLAY & EXPERIMENT with what works best for you! :)

I have also attached some extra resources below which I thought may be extra helpful especially for some visuals of stalls & information from other well established artists!! If I find any important resources as I go I will add them in these show notes!

Good Luck for your market journey & hope you find much magic, community and inspiration as you follow your own path!
