71. Thandiwe Muriu - Mentorship & Why You Need It, How To Develop A Strong Style, Gaining & Keeping Clients, Insights On The World Of Fine Art & How To Know If Your Art Is Good Enough

Thandiwe Muriu is a photographer born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya.  As a female artist operating in a previously male-dominated field, she is passionate about celebrating and empowering her fellow women. In her CAMO series, Thandiwe showcases Africa’s unique mix of vibrant cultures, textiles and beauty norms. Through her work, she celebrates her African heritage and tackles important issues such as identity and self-perception using the rich colours and vibrancy the continent is so well known for. The conversation that I got to have with Thandiwe was one of the most open, forward-looking, and insightful ones that I have had on this podcast.  Whether you’re an artist that is just starting or you’re a creative that has been in the industry for a while, this episode will give you insights and tools that will stay with you forever.
