This New Moon I am honoured to be releasing this inspiring conversation that I had with Vero Coya. Vero is an artist, singer, freelance illustrator, hand-poked tattooist and occasional muralist. As we talk, she identifies herself as an all round softie and this is a theme that threads through our conversation as something we both relate to and are learning to work with - maybe even recognising it as a superpower!
We explore the diversity and the nuance involved in being a creative in business who is simultaneously overjoyed to be sharing her work in the world AND learning to parent it - striving to protect it's divinity and the purity of what wants to be created.
We touch upon the challenges of being highly empathetic and anxious humans that KNOW that we are multiple things in any one moment - constantly changing - living in a world that wants us to tick a few boxes and stay within those parameters, making sure we DON’T change and confuse people.
We talk about the opportunities we have as artists in this quickly evolving world to set new standards of openness, of inclusivity and of support. For letting go of the scarcity mindset. For continuously championing the value of creativity and helping those who are starting out; Vero has recently created and launched a course for digital artists (see link below).
We acknowledge that we are constantly evolving, personally and creatively, and it’s not possible to ‘go back’. As Tamara of Wild Sky Sisters from my previous episode would say… ‘the only way out is through’.
In our episode Vero and I mention lovely Nina, Studio GRL, who can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/studiogrl.design/
