01. The Art:Work Ratio

Welcome to the very first episode of the Art:Work Ratio podcast! My name is Lydia and this project is all about exploring how artists balance their creative goals alongside the work that pays the bills. What’s your art-to-work ratio? Some people are full-time creatives and artists, while others have completely unrelated jobs during the day and delve into their personal projects at night. Even still, you have folks who work a creative day job but pursue their own creative projects separately. No matter how you work or create, you are an artist, and this podcast is setting out to normalize all the different ways we engage with our creativity, within our daily work and outside of it. In this episode, Lydia explains why this topic is important to her and shares some of her career backstory that led her to creating this show.
