This week I’m talking to Claire Te Au, a New Zealand artist known for her intricate floral paintings with hidden animals. we discuss the importance of consistency in an artist's practice, overcoming self-doubt, and maintaining balance (or juggling) while managing familial responsibilities. Claire emphasises the value of a supportive network, both at home and professionally through her gallery, The Artist Room in Dunedin. We also touch upon the relevance of building an online presence and how meaningful thematic elements in artwork can engage audiences. Claire shares insights into her routine, time management, and the impact of consistent practice on her artistic growth and success.  You can find Claire here You can find the podcast here Thanks so much for listening!
