Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B
Join Carolyn B as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Third Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season has been launched, take a peak!
If you know of anyone who would like to have an interview on their creative practice send me an email at: creativelythinking.blog@gmail.com. This is the best compliment you can give us, and keeps the creative discussion moving and growing. Changing and influencing others to share and propel inspiration forward.
