Listen "Lisa Woodward - Footpaths"
Episode Synopsis
Takeaways1. You don’t have to make anything, you can just explore. And if meaning comes out of that, great, but it doesn’t have to. 2. We need to forgive ourselves for not being other artists than who we are. Who we are in the rest of our lives is going to come out in our work. It comes from who we are and we can’t change that. When we make art, we are who we are.3. Don’t despair if your art doesn’t sell. Alice Sheridan said that sometimes you need to hold on to your art because you’re not finished learning from it 4. When you become an artist later in life, you’re not starting from zero. You have a huge resource of experience, confidence and self-knowledge that gives you a head start and lets you develop a clear voice and style more quickly and more surely.5. “You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take.” Wayne GretzkyMentionedLisa WoodwardLisa Woodward on InstagramLisa Woodward on PinterestA Glorious Freedom: Older Women Leading Extraordinary Lives, by Lisa CongdonOn Trails, An Exploration, by Robert MoorJane DaviesAlgonquin Provincial Park
