46. Faith Evans - Sills Artist Interview
Episode description
In today’s episode I’m having a beautiful chat with my friend and fellow artist in the US Faith Evans Sills. Faith and I first met when I was a student in one of her first e-courses many moons ago. We discovered that we had a lot in common back then and still do! So it was just lovely to catch up with Faith and hear all about what she’s been up to. I really hope your enjoy our conversation.
- The impact of motherhood on a creative practice.
- The development of her book ‘Painting The Sacred Within’.
- Using rituals to connect her creative and spiritual life.
- How running retreats has enhanced her creative flow and how she pivoted during COVID-19
- Her advice to emerging artists seeking a career as a professional artist.
- The experience of having an artist partner.
Enjoy the episode!
