I recently opened up the opportunity for Studio Yearbookers to submit their dreamboards for a 'reading'. In this episode of Creative Living with Jamie, I go through four dreamboards, sharing what I see and offering techniques for how you can learn to read your dreamboard like a tarot card! I also share how backing out of a commitment kept me in integrity.

I am so excited to move forward with a vision I have had for a long time: a video version of the Creative Living with Jamie Podcast. It's a work in progress and there's a lot to learn but it is such a joy to make a start. Here's the very first episode, which features an interview with artist Sam Tucker, who uses words and images to tell the stories of her life.

About Sam Tucker

Sam Tucker is a storyteller in words and images.  She is currently immersed in a long-term project, an illustrated memoir and storybook chronicling her journey through the grief of losing her partner while wandering the country on an epic road trip.

For years, Sam kept her creative dreams hidden in the shadows of her vibrant business consulting practice.  The journey to embracing her artistry, the essence of who she is, was a long and meaningful one that included journaling, visual journaling, book binding, collage and various forms of writing.

The turning point for Sam, that point where she finally stepped in and claimed her artistry was nearly two years ago.  Sam was part of the initial offering of the artist residency program, Devotion with Jamie Ridler.  That was a game changer!  Today, Sam divides her time between traveling the U.S. and finishing her memoir, Lost in Bentonia.

What happens when you decide to embrace yourself as an artist? What is different when you make your creativity the centre of your life. These are just a few of the questions answered by an inspiring panel of creative artists, all of whom are graduates of my program, Devotion. We also talk about dispelling old beliefs, moving through the world as an artist, growing self-trust and self-confidence as an artist and the power and problem of creative dabbling.

As adults, it can be challenging to make new friends but finding others who share your love of art is worth the effort.  Having art friends that not only 'get it' but who are are also 'in it' is incredibly important on the creative journey. The thing is, these art friends are not commonplace; they're precious.  It can take a while to find them! That's why today I'm sharing six strategies for cultivating friendships over the shared love of art-making.
