"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change." — Albert Einstein
I was so happy to finally sit down with my dear friend Julia Rogers, a career artist who I've been trying to get on this podcast since day one. Julia called in from her brand new studio in Shropshire, UK, where she's recently moved—she is literally surrounded by artwork she hasn't seen in over a year due to some big changes in her life, including a cross-country move. As a professional artist, mother, and someone who's mastered the art of keeping creativity alive through all of life's interruptions, Julia brings a unique perspective on maintaining an artistic practice regardless of what it looks like. She see’s it all as connected, even if it takes years to understand how. Today we're diving into her multi-faceted practice, and exploring how creativity is autobiographical, and weaves through every aspect of life
Check out Julia’s sculptural and installation work on her fantastic website.

Here are some pictures I took of Julia in her previous studio on one of my visits some years back. Just found them again tonight and I forgot how much I loved them. They are followed with some pictures of some of the work mentioned in this program. For more variety, please visit her website/social links I listed above.
