In this episode I had the chance to speak with the insightful artist Rachael Anderson about her process creating art. Figures, line-work, shapes and extrusions are all ways to describe her work. In this conversation we spoke about how she moves through the process of creating, and how she works to tell a story through graphics. Minimal artwork is hard to achieve, as she says ‘It’s difficult to know when a piece of your work might be finished’. This episodes looks at art as a bi-product of life, and we spoke about connections, process, impression, self-expression and putting yourself out there on instagram.

Mooki Pen is a talented digital artist. She features women and their unique stories on her platform @Blakfellastories through creating unique illustrations. She also has a thriving online art store @mookipen.store, which she spoke to me about starting in this podcast episode. There’s a lot of digital art on instagram, I was curious to find out from Mooki how she has been able to create a unique brand and sense of identity. I have been drawn specifically to Mooki’s work because of the story telling aspect and also the style and unique colours used. She spoke about how art and self expression can be used as a tool to grab our attention. In finding out more about the backstory to Mooki’s work in this episode, we spoke about how she drew inspiration from a love of comics, and also from a desire to find a creative outlet as a mum of 3, when she moved to a new country. I hope you enjoy this conversation about art and living a creative life.
