My thoughts and on a letter I received from a listener who is in a real artistic funk.

Andrea Chebeleu is the artist owner of A Work of Heart Studio in San Jose, California, a magical art store/art workshop space. You can find her on Instagram @aworkofheartstudio and you can find all of her offerings at http://aworkofheart.com

Does looking at other people’s art on social media leave you demotivated instead of inspired? If you know how that feels, this just may be the episode for you.

Join me as I interview mixed media artist Megan Whisner-Quinlan, a busy, working mother of four who manages to make more amazing art in her spare time than most people could make if it was their full time job. Megan is a tutorial creator extraordinaire for Ranger Ink and Stencil Girl Products and hopes to be a full time working artist and teacher when her life allows the space for it. You can find her work on Instagram @megan_whisner_quinlan.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the subject of “how to find your style” and I’ve got some potentially controversial thoughts about it that I want to share with you. I strongly believe that you cannot force this, and that you must allow for your style to find you. That involves surrender, trying a ton of stuff, listening to your intuition, spending a lot of time making things, and allowing room for lots of evolution. If you’d like to reach out to me and let me know how you feel about these ideas, you can find me on Instagram @willa.wanders and send me a DM.
