Episode #15 Nancy Newton
Nancy writes:
This podcast gives insight into what is important to me as an artist along with some personal thoughts on the creative process. Teachers and mentors, who instilled confidence in my ability to express myself visually, are highlighted. Some technical aspects of my art practice are discussed, but more importantly, why making marks has engaged me for a lifetime.
“I love making marks and exploring my creative imagination. It’s very exciting and keeps you in the moment. Its like going on an intuitive trip where there’s no schedule. You just do what you want…”
Nancy Newton
