E105 | Behind the Sketchbook with Carole Ince

Today's special guest is a multimedia artist inspired by people, places and community. 

With a love of clay and oil paint Carole Ince celebrates the uniqueness of people and captures life as it unfolds.

Tuning in from Canada, I thought you will enjoy hearing some real talk. 

Carole has solid collections of work, has started selling and has recently had a super successful solo show.  We chat about the journey to this point and what life is really like as an artist.

Some of the big takeaways from this conversation were:

• The process takes time and consistent action 

• Confidence came from all the small steps in the early days, which maybe felt as if things weren’t going anywhere 

• The journey is a long one so having a community around you to support you when things go wrong (and right) is imperative 

• Honing in on why Carole made art, why it matters and growing belief in her work 

• Always learning - every day 

• Checking in and planning on a regular basis (making this fun)

Enjoy
