Episode 9 – Stop Shoulding on Yourself + Let Your Art Come Through


Melanie Berry,Informaticist, Tech Guru, Change Manager and Artist, shares how not caring and painting “nothing” led her to stand aside to let art come through and claim herself as an Artist.

“I’m learning to be in control of being out of control.” she shares. “I’m old”, she added, “and I am gonna say what I wanna say and do what I want to do – even if it freaks me out!” Would you ever cut up your paintings? Melanie does! Is it possible to paint “nothing”? Melanie does! Can you really paint 6 things at once? Melanie does! Or for only 6 minutes? Melanie does!
