Hosted by Aussie artist and passionate creative Ange Miller, this podcast aims to ground the listener in solid and inspiring creative truth. "I aim to nurture and sustain you, keeping your developing creative expression at the heart of your focus, rather than focusing on pressurised production which only dries you up and burns you out. There is so much more available to us when we realise that we are actually the art."

12. Carmel Jenkin "I Just Need to Draw Every Day"

In this episode I'm chatting to fellow Aussie artist Carmel Jenkin.

Carmel is based in Melbourne and we have known each other just through instagram DMs and comments over the last few years. It was wonderful to finally chat voice-to-voice.

If you pop through to Carmel’s website or Instagram (I’ve listed all the links below) you’ll see why I love her - her art richly expresses in lines and tones winding a unique poetry around the female form and as you’ll hear in the following story, this is her lifelong commitment and obsession.

“My work references various personal events and episodes that have shaped my own connection to my body – a journey of self-awareness that hasn't been an easy one. I am forever obsessed with the capacity of the human body to tell a story through line, shape, texture and shade.”

Carmel has been at this for most of her life, so I know you’ll get a lot out of hearing her seasoned artist wisdom, as did I.

We kind of just launched right in to our chat like excited long lost friends...
