#5 Just Call Yourself An Artist: A Live Session

Julia asks me to help her find her artistic voice. This question leads us to a discussion on the audacity to call yourself an artist, how to start, resistance, desire, fear, and a couple of practices.

I recommend you listen to this episode when you can follow along and have a journey ready.

#4 Meeting the Critic: A Live Session

In this episode, I do a live Persephone Unblocking Session with a student of scenography.

We had some technical difficulties, but I didn't feel like editing them out (if it irritates you maybe you can be my editor ;) hehe)

#2 Why Art Is Important

There is a misunderstanding in our modern society that art is reserved for after-hours, hobbies, and the select few that choose to call themselves artists. However, art is so deeply embedded in what it means to be human that there is no way to imagine our species without the making of art. In this episode, I talk through an article I wrote for ArtFileMagazine on this topic.

#1 My Artist Story & Where N.B. Art Notes Started

What started out as a normal Tuesday, turned into the day I casually made a dream happen that I had in 2018! And so, I announce the first mental art dump that will constitute N.B. Art Notes Podcast!

This is an introduction episode to who I am (Nicolene Burger), my chronological story with art, how I come to call myself a Creativity Doula and finally, why I'm starting this podcast.
