Artists Talks - Nala, Malcontent - A Work in Progress
Recently spoke to artist Nala at his exhibition Malcontent.
 |
| Artists - Alan Springer, Heather Dawn Scott, Nala, & Oneka Small |
He spoke about the way that his work can be viewed as social commentary of the things that he hears and experiences.

|
The link between the art created and mental health and well-being, the things that inspires him as he works.
 |
| Artist Nala shares insights to his art |
And where he sees his work moving to next, the combination of theater and expression is one of the ways in which he addresses topics and themes that arise out of his creativity both as the art on the canvas and in a theater setting.

Here are the images 33 - 40 of the 100 Pastel Drawings that I have been doing on the #100dayproject2019
I had a couple of days where I didn't feel like creating which is weird, but kept going, you have to, and reminded myself that I am showing up for me. The project isn't about anyone else, but wanting to go on a journey with the pastels and use the supplies that I have.
If you would like to see the daily images you can come visit me on Instagram. Next week I will begin sharing some of the videos that I will be creating weekly for some of the images, it is always great to see how artist approach their work, and I hope that you find some inspiration while watchin.
You will be able to see the first of the weekly videos here when I share videos 41 - 48 or join me on YouTube, I am hoping that they will inspire you to get out your supplies and create. I will be sharing the full video on my Patreon Site, which you are welcome to join.

Art and Wellness - Lisa Mona - Podcast Episode 81
Welcome to the Episode 81 of the Podcast and the Arts and Wellness, where the focus is on the Arts and how it can impact our health and well-being. I will be talking with artists, looking at activities that you can do to be more creative across the board and for those who are carers tips and strategies that you can use. I will also be sharing reviews, resources and other insights. I will be looking at the nuggets that the artists share and see how we can apply it in some way to our own lives, what ever your interests.

| Lisa Mona - Artist |
In this Episode I spoke to artist Lisa Mona who was exhibiting at the Caribbean Fine Art Fair. Lisa Mona was born in Barbados with a diverse cultural background which has fashioned her artwork in an eclectic way. Her body of work is influenced by the beauty of simplicity itself, natures's colors and its organic shapes. She expresses herself through photography, jewelry, design and abstract paintings.
Listen to her interview below:

So some of the takeaways from Lisa was the connection with nature and looking at the fine detail when she is putting her work together.
When we think about arts and health some of the ways in which we can incorporate some of the things Lisa does in her work is to take time out to notice things in nature. Step outside, open your windows and get some fresh air, listen to the sounds that you can hear around you, the colours and the shapes, what do they remind you of?
If you are a carer you can think about reminiscence and looking at old photos and getting your loved one to talk about the people and actions in the pictures. If you don't have access to photos you can get together a selection of well known celebrities that they would recognize and have a conversation about them.
Take some photographs yourself, go for a walk and see what things you can photograph, especially within their local area that they could talk about or could be a starting point to a conversation.
The appeal of nature
Being out in the sunshine, feeling the breeze on your skin is important for us all to experience and with the majority of us being Vitamin D deficient it is important to spend time daily where possible outdoors.
I hope that this has been useful. Sign up for my mailing list and YouTube channel for more ideas on being creative.
