Why Art Matters

Why Art Matters

In episode three of The Liv Balanced Podcast, we chat adornment - ear adornment- with artists Brooke Bampton of Twig and Antler Art, and Alison Stastny of Spitfire July. We discuss each artist's personal journey to making wearable art, including what inspires the art you wear. Spend the hour laughing along as we discuss what it means to pursue your passion; why it's absolutely necessary to make art YOU love; and that it's okay to work multiple jobs to feed the "beast."   To shop Brooke's art:  https://twigandantlerart.com/ [https://twigandantlerart.com/]  To shop Alison's art:  https://spitfirejuly.com/ [https://spitfirejuly.com/]  For more about Liv and Liv Balanced:  https://www.livbalanced.net/ [https://www.livbalanced.net/]   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

Loneliness 101

Loneliness hurts and it may create a feeling of shame. But you are not alone; the pandemic has increased feelings of loneliness. Loneliness is an emotion. As such, it indicates something needs to be addressed to maintain balance. Managing lonely feelings requires us to "step out of our comfort zone." Join Liv as she outlines her research, sharing the essentials of loneliness in thirty minutes. Loneliness is like a scar; we all have them, they don't go away, but we can heal from the intense pain. To watch the slide presentation, join Liv on her You Tube channel at "Olivia Ash."
