In this week’s episode of The Imposter Syndrome Club, we talk to the incredibly articulate and generous artist Natalie Mather about the difference between an artist statement and a bio, balancing competing interests, being a 9-5 (or 12-4) painter, the importance of having a daily practice, consistent playing = consistent work, how having a day job does not equal failing, defining success, that you need input to make output, the awkward second album, being a detective of your own brain, realising you’re not as complicated as you thought, stage fright, naivety or bravery, the benefits of external constraints and even greater benefits of self-imposed ones, step parenting, adjusting & compromising while still guarding your time, divorce, friendship and community, self-sabotage, fear of failure and of success, and being comfortable with being seen.
