The world has been experiencing major events - east coast Australia, where Michelle lives has had devastating floods, and we are all aware of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army. In this episode, Jennifer and Michelle begin their conversation with this quote from George Inness - "The true use of art is, first, to cultivate the artist's own spiritual nature" in the context of the big upheavals we are seeing in the world, and talk about what they see the role of the artist is in these difficult times and finish with how to tap into our natural resilience to see us through.
