Using Art to Build Awareness, with Artist and Bird-Nerd Hannah Shand

Drawing Inspiration

Mike reflects on a small flood as well as some recent artwork. Hannah Shand then joins the podcast to talk about her journey from fashion design to a becoming successful artist with a focus on rendering birds in ink. Mike and Hannah explore her art, inspiration, tools, and also talk about photography. Hannah drops some golden nuggets of advice for all creatives and she provides two homework exercises.
