Welcome back to the daily collective podcast! I know it has been a while, but life is what it is, and it has been quite a difficult year for me. In today's episode I am chatting about accepting that things don't happen right away, and that accepting that they take time is good for your soul! Thanks for listening, and I hope to get back to posting more regularly soon! xo Elora *** Support the Podcast!   Follow on Instagram: @thedailycollective365 Follow Elora’s Instagram: @lifeiswildandfree Visit the Blog: livewildandfree.co.uk Buy us a Kofi : https://ko-fi.com/livewildandfree Watch the YouTube channel : Wild and Free Art

In today's episode I interview Sharon Sycamore, contemporary artist based in Lincolnshire, and we chat about the challenges and excitement of curating your very own exhibition. Here is a bit about what Sharon says about herself: "I’m a contemporary artist who has been working in acrylic’s and mixed media since lockdown in 2020.  That’s a relatively short space of time in the great scheme of things but since 2020, I have been accepted into the Lincolnshire Artists Society, have had major a solo art exhibition, have curated a joint exhibition and taken part in numerous local group shows.  My work is now starting to be exhibited slightly further afield and I was delighted to be chosen for art fairs in South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire this year.  I have a two tiny studios, one is near Lincoln where I live and the other in Yorkshire where we have a small holiday home.  When I paint, I can’t resist including a lot of interesting textures, shapes and colours.  I also aim to produce pieces which have a sense of history, have a feeling of flow and expressive marks, freedom of movement and contrasting light and dark tones.  Although my paintings are not representational and are largely contemporary or abstract, I am still inspired and fascinated by the world around me and I find joy in immersing myself in nature, where just lately this has resulted in a new series of imagined vistas which are vaguely land / seascape in design.  My latest work is available to buy either in local art exhibitions or from my website. " You can follow Sharon here: Instagram: @sharonsycamoreart Website: https://sharonsycamoreart.co.uk/ The artist Sharon mentions: Louise Fletcher *** Support the podcast!
