Can an artist truly live without creating? Join us as Ty Nathan Clark explores this compelling question and offers an intimate view of his creative journey while Nathan prepares for his much-awaited exhibition in Munich alongside the talented Kit King. Through the lens of cherished literary works by Lewis Hyde and Rainer Maria Rilke and the poetic brilliance of Theodore Roethke and Allen Ginsberg, Ty shares insights into the transformative power of turning inward for inspiration. Together, we unravel the essence of inviting past artistic influences into our work, embracing the natural flow of creativity, and celebrating the raw authenticity that emerges when we connect with our inner selves and nature.

This episode is a heartfelt celebration of the artist's journey, filled with profound reflections and inspiring moments. Ty delves into the necessity of pursuing art as an intrinsic need and the value of self-discovery and solitude in fostering true creative expression. Highlighting a captivating encounter with artist Edward Povey, we discuss the importance of focusing on the soul and authentic creativity over seeking external approval. Let this conversation inspire you to prioritize your genuine artistic vision and find solace in the undeniable magic of creation.
