How She Creates Podcast

Our longest-running guest is back for another encouraging episode. This week Amy Maricle is reminding us to slow down, take a deep breath, and spend time making our art. We chat about her new book, Draw Yourself Calm, her advice for when we can’t quite slow down enough to focus, and about the upcoming Radiant Art Retreat where she will be taking us through her Drawing Closer To Nature retreat.
