In this episode, we sit down with Claudia Kennaugh, professional artist coach and advisor, to explore her mission to empower artists with clarity, confidence, and sustainable creative practice. Claudia shares the most common challenges artists face today, from finding an authentic artist voice, to the essential theme of slowness- why it matters, how it supports creativity, and how artists can invite more space for it in their creative careers.

We also talked about our shared passion project: the 6-month mentorship with The Healthy Artist. After a hugely positive response, we’ve now opened 5 new slots for the cohort beginning February.

Heeyoung Noh is an emerging painter from South Korea, who explores themes of intergenerational trauma, diaspora and the female body.

We talked to Heeyoung about her experiences working with intense and personal subject matter, her experience studying and working across multiple countries and cultures, and how she maintains a healthy artist community in times of isolation.

As artists we can feel that we are not deserving of a community. That our work is not good enough or real enough to connect with other artists, and that we are the only ones who feel like this. What is the solution to this feeling of isolation? Carving out your own community, and finding those like you. This week we dive into the radical act of building artistic community and lay some foundations for how we are building community through the Healthy Artist podcast, with information about upcoming courses, mentorship programmes, and in person meet ups!
