Before we begin, a gentle note: in this episode we speak about death, grief, psychosis and depression. If you’re feeling tender, you might want to pause and come back when the time feels right. It will be worth it.

When your brain says - I don’t know who would buy this, I don’t know where to find them. I don’t know how this would ever work, it is lying to you.

What if “I don’t know how” isn’t a fact. What if its anxiety dressed up as logic. What if your brain ... more

Today I’m in conversation with the extraordinary Sarah Boris, an artist who treats symbols like building blocks and colour like architecture.

Her practice moves between sculpture, drawing, printmaking, painting, and bookmaking, yet everything she ma... more

  • Nourishing listening!

    Really enjoyjng Ceri’s content and coaching through these podcasts and the membership network. It’s so freeing and nourishing to be able to hear all the things that go on in my head unpicked and made more rational. I don’t feel so alone in my studio and feel really empowered in my decisions and making. Wish this had existed 15 years ago!!

  • Warm, supportive and expert

    I really value the warmth and generosity Ceri brings in this series. The interviews are insightful and full of useful information. The ‘how to’s’ invaluable and full of learning. I particularly value the understanding, acceptance and practical advice in dealing with the emotional aspects of maintaining an artistic practice. Boy oh boy does Ceri understand the self-doubt! Highly recommend this to any artist and I have shared some episodes with friends in other creative fields as the advice often ... more

  • Predictable and long winded

    The repetitious interview structure is long winded and frustrating- so often asking interviewee to grind through their linear biography from childhood to present…!

  • Insightful, inspiring & helpful pod!

    Really love this when I’m having a spout of low confidence in my practice or when starting a new project. I recommend the amazing Phoebe Davies for this podcast.

  • Excellent and helpful

    I love this podcast having only recently discovered it. It’s like artist therapy for me having worked as self employed for 16 years now! It’s so good to hear how others have pushed through the struggles of being a self employed artist. Very inspiring to push my artistic limits a bit more too. The World has too much of the same stuff!!!
