Talking Creativity, Action and Revolutionary Joy with Artist Paige Meredith

Pull up a chair, your favorite beverage and get comfy! You don't want to miss our conversation with visual artist Paige Meredith. This was recorded on the go so excuse some of the slight background noise.

Paige has such a heart for lifting up others through her artwork. We know you'll leave this conversation inspired. She is a self-taught illustrator living and working in the beautiful Ozark hills of Northwest Arkansas.

Days spent in the studio consist of making both digital art on her iPad and more traditional art with an absurdly large collection of watercolor, acrylic paint, gold foil, micron pens, color pencils, as well as another ridiculously massive collection of audiobooks.

Because, Paige says, "I love getting lost in a story almost as much as I love making my own. And both at the same time are my happy place... Encouragement makes the world better by reminding us that we each have a gift to with which to make the world sparkle. To put more encouragement into the world {whether through a reminder that you can stick on your computer or a class where you can explore your creativity} : that’s why I’m here." 

We delved into quite a bit during this episode: 

- Being community taught as an artist - recognizing that all we learn comes from numerous sources. 

- Joy and creativity as forms of revolution and resistance!  - How living with a learning difference (ADD) helps her build  a community which goes beyond the surface.

- Moving away from the guilt so often associated with being a Mama, and learning to center self care. 

- What it means to live out your faith / commitment to change.
