179: Becoming a Bad Ass Artist with Tiare Smith and Miriam Schulman

The Inspiration Place is hosting the first ever student art show including a piece from today’s guest. You can see all the submissions at Schulmanart.com/salon Tiare Smith joins me to share her artist’s journey. Like many of us, she didn’t pursue her art for many years. She first followed the path that well-meaning people assured her would be better for her financially. Hear why she put her pencil down for 18 years and why she was inspired to pick back up once again. She shares how her technique changed and evolved when she began creating again. Tiare also explains the inspiration for her paintings of women. She pays tribute to the women in her life who nurtured and encouraged her. She also acknowledges growth and transformation in her work. She explains why she doesn’t define the facial features in her paintings. We also talk about the significance of the dragonfly and why her flowers are another aspect of her unique vision. Teaching is still part of her passion. She teaches mixed media art journaling to help people express themselves. It’s a great way to warm up and it provides freedom to try new things. “Sometimes you just need to make art.” Tiare is offering her course One BADASS Art Journal and you can get details here.
