Join us for a special conversation with Juliana Naufel, a Brazilian artist, creative mentor and art therapist. We chat about the creative process and the importance of mindset work as it relates to building an art career. Here’s what we discuss:

1. Why Juliana began embroidering uplifting phrases on vintage photographs, and the deeper meaning behind her practice.

2. The beauty of working in seasons and embracing different ways of creating.

3. Juliana’s work as creative mentor and how working with fellow artists has impacted her on a personal level.

4. Why it’s important to acknowledge our limiting beliefs, start before we’re ready, and let go of fear.
