Finding Art in Existence with John McDevitt

In this episode of Willow Talk, we sit down with the fabulous Johnny McDevitt for a conversation on finding art in the simplicities of your everyday existence. A must listen for anyone who doubts that there’s an artist in everyone, we talk about everything from society’s limiting definition of an artist to Johnny’s recent dive into the world of modeling in New York City.

• Why, if you don’t think you’re an artist, you actually are.
• How self expression in any form is art.
• How there’s art in simply living your life.
• Society’s limiting definition of an artist and why many people feel fear in labeling themselves as “artists” or “creative”.
• The bravery in breaking free of boxes and confining labels.
• How creativity and the outlets we chose to express ourselves will always ebb and flow.
• A variety of “non-traditional” art forms (as deemed by the mainstream).
• Johnny’s experience getting into modeling - their fears of trying something new and opening themselves up to the judgements of others.
• The role of our relationships in pushing yourself both creatively and in trying to grow as an individual.
• Finding people in your life who amplify and encourage your creativity.
• Pushing ourselves in uncomfortable situations.
• The importance of authenticity.
• How the hardest part is getting. started.
