In episode 22 we talk about all the ways in which we have been creative recently, and explore what it means to engage in different artforms and how it relates to our creativity as a whole.

Our next guest is Suzanne Earley, who generously explained the motivation, inspiration and working behind her art-journaller magazine; Strawberry Moon.

In episode 15 we talk to artist Yuqiao Guo in a conversation that touches on cultural taboos, personal imagery, captioning our art and mixing seemingly unrelated passions.

Today we discuss the concept of the term "No Offence", how to offend less, and how to be less offensive with feedback. And how to be brave enough in your art even if it causes offence!

Or does it? Let's talk about social media, ever present evil for Tamara, and beautiful point of connection for Iris! How can we use social media better? How do we cultivate a healthy relationship with it?

Today we talk about how women express and are expected to express themselves in art. Why topics of sexual abuse are taboo, and why painting pretty women is preferred.
