“I would not cover up how you’re feeling, just express it. Start from there”

“Copy a lot of things. There is nothing wrong with copying. Your style is a collage of others styles”

Kim and Alan took a challenge to assemble an art supply kit for $25. No easy task. Kim went a step farther and used 25 Australian dollars (AUD), which are less than USD, despite prices being higher. If you would like to take a similar challenge and discuss it on the podcast, get in touch with us.

Hava Gurevich is fascinated by colour and it shows in all her paintings. Hava shares many wise tips about creating art and using art for personal discovery.
