Recently I sat down with artist Elinor Trier of Zuzu Haus of Cats (on Youtube) to speak about my work as an artist and teacher. I honestly believe this is one of my best interviews to date.

Here’s what Eli had to say about our chat:

“In this illuminating episode, I sit down with the brilliant Carrie Brummer to explore the beautiful chaos of combining artmaking with entrepreneurship and raising kids. Carrie shares her journey of integrating creativity into daily life, and offers some invaluable insights for anyone seeking to make creativity their full-time gig.

Carrie shares some fab tips for making space for creativity amongst the endless duties of small business ownership and parenting little ones. Her flexible, go-with-the-flow approach feels so liberating in a world that constantly urges us to hustle and grind, no matter the cost.

From finding creative fuel in the humour and mundanity of domestic life, to chasing artistic dreams in unconventional ways, to giving yourself permission to ebb and flow – Carrie’s hard-won wisdom feels like a warm hug.

Whether you’re a fellow artist/parent striving to make room for it all, a creative entrepreneur looking for a fresh perspective, or simply someone craving more artful presence amidst the rush of daily life – this candid conversation is sure to refill your cup. ”

Take a watch here and let me know what your biggest takeaway is from our conversation:

I want to thank Eli for offering such a welcoming and safe space in which I could open up and share.

If you connect with our conversation about voice and style, and are seeking mentorship to help guide your explorations and artistic growth Choose a time on my calendar to discuss where you are with your art, where you want to be, and how to get there.
