Sue Bulmer is an artist, educator, Art Psychotherapist and Inspiration Facilitator. Her expressive, energetic and colourful work is inspired by landscape and seasonal alignment. Sue believes we are all creative souls and is a passionate advocate for the well-being benefits of living a more creative life. ​She has a deep understanding, stemming from personal experience, of the many benefits of living a more creative life and the barriers and beliefs that stop us. We chat about paying attention to when it’s time to rest, confronting the fear that tries to keep you small and safe, being stuck and what happens when you stop fighting it, putting yourself out there even though it can be scary, the payoff is worth it!

Takeaways:

1. Make art just for you.
2. Nature takes a rest during the year. Why don’t we?
3. Categorizing things help us understand things, but they come with rules and those rules can be limiting.
4. It’s in the spaces that the ideas come.
5. “Stress is caused by being here and wanting to be there.”
6. It’s never too late.
