In this episode of Open Shutter, I have the pleasure of welcoming Thanuja (TJ) who is a world traveller, having visited 50+ countries. In her travels, she has collected stories and insights into the creative process. A firm believer in the power of supporting local artists, TJ learns from others and applies this knowledge to her own process. However, TJ's creativity was in flux during her university years. It was the pandemic that reignited the spark and led her to explore disciplines such as photography, being an author, the world of public story telling, along with new goals such as learning salsa dancing. TJ's credits her success with surrounding herself with the right people, not being shy of putting herself out there, along with ensuring she lives a balanced life to avoid burn out. It's a honest and raw conversation into the realities of being an artist in today's world and how you too can leave your legacy through your own art.
