Your Creative Identity with Liz Ackerley

from Paintbrush & Ivories Hosted by Michelle Walker & Jennifer Ruth Russell

Have you ever pondered your creative identity and style? As artists, this is a key question. Prompted by a quote from Cezanne: ‘The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself’, Michelle and her guest, Liz Ackerley, a mixed media abstract artist from the UK, discuss the pursuit of our creative identity in our work. The questioning of our interests, focus and intent within our artwork is an important part of coming to understand our identity as an artist. The skill of noticing what you notice, the practice of journaling thoughts and ideas and being disciplined with the quantum of time spent absorbing other artists’ work on social media are some of the topics discussed in today’s episode.
