259 How the Holidays can Inspire Your Creativity

Did it really start with a wedding invitation? Cozy up, get comfy, grab a little cup of eggnog (too soon?) tea? wine? Today I have story to share with you. Looking back, I see it so clearly now, I think this story may have been the moment Creative Thursday actually began. It was definitely the moment I started to follow my creative calling and discover my voice as an Artist. Can the bustle of the holidays really be a good time to connect with your creativity, especially if it's been dormant all year? In today's episode I share with you some suggestions of how you can reconnect to your creativity and tap into new ideas now or any season. The holiday shop is OPEN! This is just a preview with more treats + festivities to come over the Small Studio weekend.

Om Podcasten

Marisa Anne Cummings, a Los Angeles based artist + author + entrepreneur, actually started the Creative Thursday podcast in 2006. What? what! how is that even possible? And yes! she wishes she had kept it going after all these years. Yet as a small business owner, maybe you can relate? choices needed to be made, and a passion for painting and continuing to build her art business became her focus. Cut to over a decade later, armed with SO many more lessons learned, and a - can no longer be suppressed - desire to share them with you! Marisa is ready to make a return to one of the first creative mediums she loved, podcasting! Even more fired up than before, Marisa is looking forward to picking up where she left off on her creative journey through both - one her favorite things to do - having thoughtful, inspiring, keeping it real, conversations with fellow Creatives + Business Owners along with offering her own perspective as an artist and entrepreneur, traversing this online world. We’re talking everything from life + business + creativity + entrepreneurship.
