Episode Details

Episode 13, "How To Inspire & Drive An Artist's Creativity Part 1" features Pyrography Artist Amanda Packard, aka, The Phoenix Quill. Our dialogue takes us through a step-by-step of the artist's creative process, the tools essential for her pyrography works, and how her unusually repressed background became a catalyst for creativity. Packard's artworks are an exquisite visual feast of beautiful craftsmanship and imaginatively story-like inspiration. We also chat about the fortune and impact of positive mentors, and how those experiences become life-long memories to form the tapestry of an artist's vision.
