The Play of Creative Work
Life is a Festival #98: Autumn Skye
Listen to the Podcast
To succeed as artists, the muse must find us working, but how do we maintain the play and passion that lit our creative fire to begin with?
Today’s guest, the delightful Autumn Skye, is a luminary in the Visionary Art world and a true artist of the creative life itself. On the show we discuss Autumn’s artistic childhood and how she developed her craft. We talk about the gap between vision and ability, light and shadow in the Visionary Art world and using art as a tool for weathering difficult times. All along the way, Autumn models the whimsy and play that breathes life into her paintings and shows us how to find balance in creative work.
A self-taught artist, Autumn lives and works in the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. She teaches and exhibits worldwide and is passionate about supporting other creators in the Visionary Art world and beyond.
