In this episode, I dive into the urgency we feel as artists when inspiration strikes—like a bolt of lightning—and how that led me to paint a piece deeply connected to a friend's heartbreaking story. I reflect on whether great art always has to come from pain, or if we can find just as much power in joy, beauty, and the simple moments that make life meaningful. Join me as I explore what it means to create from a place of raw emotion and the importance of seizing those fleeting opportunities to express ourselves.
