Sketchbooks as refuge, ritual, & reflection - with artist Helen Wells | Ep #1

Do you ever find yourself feeling paralysed by that crisp new sketchbook, scared to make the first mark? My guest this week, the wonderful artist Helen Wells ‪@HelenWellsArtist‬ knows that feeling all too well. But you won't want to miss how she finally broke through that fear and learned to embrace her sketchbooks as a playground for experimentation and growth - no judgments allowed!

We'll dive into Helen's journey as she shares juicy behind-the-scenes tales of pursuing art as a full-time career. How does she define success on her own terms? What helped build her resilience in the face of all those artistic struggles and rejections we all deal with? She's dishing out so much fantastic advice.

Whether you're just starting to dip your toes into the creative entrepreneurship waters or you're a seasoned pro, Helen's wisdom (and delightful sense of humor!) is sure to inspire you. Maybe you'll even get that extra nudge you need to quit being so precious with your sketchbook!

So grab that sketchbook you've been avoiding, a cup of something delicious, and join us for what's sure to be an energising creative pep talk. I cannot wait to share this one with you!
