YourCreativeChord Podcast episode, "How To Inspire & Drive An Artist's Creativity Part 1" Features Pyrography Artist Amanda Packard, aka, The Phoenix Quill. Our dialogue takes us through a step-by-step of the artist's creative process, the tools essential for her pyrography works, and how her unusually repressed background became a catalyst for creativity. Packard's artworks are an exquisite visual feast of beautiful craftsmanship and imaginatively story-like inspiration. We also chat about the fortune and impact of positive mentors, and how those experiences become life-long memories to form the tapestry of an artist's vision.READ THE BLOG:https://www.yourcreativechord.com/composerinterviews/how-to-inspire-and-drive-an-artists-creativityFind The Phoenix Quill on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and at: www.thephoenixquill.net LISTEN to Part 2: Part 2 dives more personally and universally into how the artist's creativity began, what led her to create, and what inspires her art. We cover the issue of women empowerment through creativity, how Packard's personal journey became the catalyst for her feminine, free women-based characters in her art, the emotional benefits of being in touch with the artist within, and Packard's percolating interest in aligning her art to help domestic violence victims.If you enjoyed this podcast--Please LEAVE A REVIEW here! --Even one sentence helps!
