It’s easy to play it safe, to always rely on routine, but what if we feel the niggle to change things up? When we start to feel stale in life, in work, in paintings… how do we step outside of our comfort zone without traumatising ourselves? 

As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.
