These chats always offer insights and ideas that we can apply to our own work.

I really enjoyed watching this replay. It was an inspiring conversation, and the main point that came to me while watching was to really hone what you love, and keep doing that. I know this is something that Art2Life really puts forth, and it’s one of the most important concepts for making unique and authentic art. Thanks to Ellen and everyone who participated.

I didn’t mean to be anonymous on my comment. Anyway, thanks for an inspiring hour.

Hi Dagmar,
It’s so great to see your comment. Wasn’t that a fantastic time with Ellen and the group! We just have to keep pushing, experimenting and raking risks – no holding back! So glad to have a circus buddy! LOL!
Thank you so much for your inspiring work. It encourages me to follow what I love. I love the chaos too, and I am always struggeling with creating calm in my work.
