The Ebb and Flow of Creativity with Megan Woodard-Johnson [32]

Settle down, you are in for a treat in this discussion of the artist as problem solver! Megan Woodard Johnson is a mixed media artist who layers vintage paper ephemera with paint, various drawing media and found objects to tell evocative stories within her work. Alice talks with Megan about that fact that an artist's growth is rarely linear and how we can only make sense of it all when we look backwards at everything that happened. The wide-ranging discussion also covered building a creative practice alongside a family, how to find honest critiques of your work, and how new classes and experiences can invigorate us as artists. Megan also offered practical tips for loading your car (!), teaching workshops, and how creative collaborations can allow you to blossom.
