"Building Confidence as an Artist" | Ep 27 Permission to Paint Podcast
SHOW NOTES
“We are back with another interview episode! Today we are talking to the inspiring and amazing Ange Miller.
We ask her about her journey into art and she recounts how she always loved making things and how art became a sacred space for her. She describes art as being an anchor for her soul in her younger years.
While studying she recounts how she struggled with performance anxiety. Ange felt like there was no place for her, she describes the many challenges she experienced after graduation entering into a really dark place. She was invited by her previous Tutor - Andy Collis to assist in the classroom and within a year she was taking a class of her own and making up lesson plans.
In the episode, we ask her about “art school wounding” Ange gets fired up on this topic describing it as a broader “Education Wound” starting in primary school: and how students are not validated or recognised for what is uniquely inside of them.
Ange states that the key to overcoming this wound is - Confidence - and becoming the author of our own life. She shares that - each of us has a unique message and by getting back in touch to the deepest part of ourselves we can access this. Ange says that Creativity is the foundation to life and it is energising when we find authentic flow.
Ange also shares some valuable insights into:
Learning to let go
Fostering a long-term love affair with your art
How energy is often underestimated in the painting process
Her unique Commission process
The Instagram treadmill
How articulating your story “sells the art”
