Description

The guest for today's episode is artist, photographer and performer Vanessa Fairfax-Woods. Alex speaks to Vanessa about her beginnings as an artist and where her artistic drives come from.

It is very rare to find an artist who can encapsulate an emotion or a situation so vividly because, well, that is what makes art so special right? Well Vanessa's website offered this podcast an arsenal of interesting topics, just based on Vanessa's work. Take a look for yourself right here: https://www.vanessafairfaxwoods.com/

Mental health has been cropping up on this show an awful lot lately in many different forms of discussion. But it is rare when someone is prepared to show their ultimate vulnerable (yet strong) side to show what is means to be affected by mental health issues. This is where Vanessa comes in and it sets this episode up beautifully.

I like to think that I am very good at finding very good guests for this show, but the truth is lately, the most amazing guests and opportunities are coming to me and today's guest is a real treat. Not only does Vanessa have a brilliant message to give, not only is she brilliantly eloquent on the mic, but her work is phenomenal too. This ticked all of the boxes for me before we even hit record. - AL
