Ep.27. Finding Your Creative Purpose with Artist & Mentor Kelly Herrick
I’m delighted to bring you this episode, recorded live inside my Creative Hearts Community, with artist and mentor, Kelly Herrick.
Kelly shares, "I am happiest outdoors, connecting to the natural world and seeing it through my paintbrush. I walk in my home county of Derbyshire and travel the country exploring our incredible landscapes and seascapes; you will see inspiration from all these places in my work. I find such joy in my art, it connects me to my flow and to nature in a way nothing else does.”
Painting allows me to dream a more positive and optimistic dream for the world, which is more important now than it has ever been. Beauty and connection breeds love and when we love something we treasure it and protect it."
About this Episode
"I’ve always been happiest in bright, colourful environments. From my childhood living on the fair, I was immersed in motion, sound, colour and energy. We travelled from place to place all summer and I know that’s where I get my free spirit from and why I love to roam. This unique upbringing has given me a style all of my own," shares Kelly Herrick.
Let's dive in!
