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.
Artist Nala
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.
Welcome and a Happy Friday to you. In this post I will be sharing two episodes of this weeks podcast. The Arts and Wellness Wednesday and the Inspirational Shorts where I will be sharing a review. I hope you are able to listen to them and get some useful takeaway pieces of information. Arts and Wellness Wednesday I share events that are taking place in the UK and you may find useful to your creative practice -
We have our Artists Studio Tours on 14th and 15th March - I am location 15 on the map and it would be great to see you & Caribbean Fine Art Fair on the 11th March to 15th March both not to be missed
Inspirational Shorts
For today's Inspirational Shorts I will be reviewing a Bees wax product that you can do a range of creative projects with, alongside candle wax and petroleum. I have been using them for some small batik projects alongside semi-encaustic on pastels. I will be sharing more with you. I am using a simple oil burner with tealights, which makes the wax melt fairly quickly.
You can listen to the podcast episode below as well as watch the video and see the products.
Welcome, today I will be sharing Episode 188 of Inspirational Shorts where I review the art supply Mod Podge sharing with you how I use it and other varieties of mod podge that has been created. The word for the day is Brave, so it is to also look at your creative life, or activities and see where you either have been brave or need to be brave

Watch the Video
We all need to step out of our comfort zones at times and try something new, or take our art into a different direction. Learn about a new artist or get some supplies in that you are new to.
Get out your art journal and maybe create a page that has tapped into the answers to some of the questions that you might be asking yourself as you decide where the next brave steps will lead you to.
Today's episode of Creating in Faith the Faith to be Creative has been posted today. Alongside an art journal page video.
Listen to the podcast
I have been monitoring the whole process and have decided to scale back on the podcast and spend time focusing on creating The Art Journal Experience.
This means that you will be getting two episodes on the podcast each week - the Arts in Wellness Episode - talking about what is going on art wise, speaking to guests and looking at events in the arts and health field. The inspirational shorts is where I look at a tool, book or supply and share how I use it and what I think about them, and you will get to hear about them on the podcast and see them in action on the YouTube channel.
The Art Journal Experience - allow it to sour!
The Creating in Faith episodes will continue slightly changed to the Art Journal Experience and an encouraging word on my YouTube channel on Mondays. Essentially it is to encourage you to be more creative and find way to explore it.

I look forward to having you on this part of the journey. Stay blessed and be a blessing.
