Today’s guest is Erica Helder, a Canadian abstract artist and horticulturalist based in Brant, Ontario, Canada. We talk about art as an expression of emotion, creative blocks, self-discovery through art, touching the magic of the natural world, and the challenges—and joys!—of sharing art with the public.

I’m thrilled to have her as a guest, and I’m very excited for listeners to learn about how creativity and spirituality intersect for Erica.
