Description

In Totally Abstracted I share my processes as an abstract landscape artist, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how I create expressive, atmospheric art. Alongside painting techniques I explore topics such as overcoming creative blocks, managing time effectively, tackling perfectionism and finding balance in a busy life. Whether you're passionate about abstract landscapes or seeking inspiration and practical advice for your art practice, this podcast is perfect for artists ready to deepen their creative journey and embrace the courage to create authentically.
