You are your own best advocate! - With Artist Erika Lee Sears

You are your own best advocate! You want to write a book, write one. Want to be a painter, buy some paint. Want to learn a different language, get an app. Want to win the lottery, buy a ticket. Just do it. No one is going to come knocking at your door and do it for you and give you the golden ticket to the life you’ve been daydreaming about. Take leaps, do the things that send tingles down your spine and do the things that give you butterflies. If you’re not feeling the fear and the magic, then you’re not reaching high enough. This life is exciting and, let’s face it, we aren’t here forever. Cartwheel your ass out of bed and go do it for yourself! Erika Lee Sears is a self-taught oil painter and one badass Mama! She is born and raised in Portland, Oregon and for the past five years, she has made an original piece of art every single day and shares her journey on social media. As a busy mother of two, she finds inspiration in her eclectic children, beauty of still life and the culture of her bustling city. You can find her work on the television show Portlandia, the first season of Significant Mother, the Brooklyn Art Library, and the cover art for Lana Del Rey’s spoken word album. Erika has needed no permission from anyone to paint her way through this world and that she does!  We can't wait to appear on together April 2022 for a panel on the Art Queens we are going to light some fires!  Find Erika here: http://www.atinyrocket.com/ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YsjC5_zhYTQ Learn More: https://www.brandihofer.ca/colourmehappypodcast
