Your Creative Push

Your Creative Push is the podcast that pushes YOU to pursue your creative passion, even though you have a busy, full-time life. Twice a week, Youngman Brown interviews artists, musicians, writers, photographers, graphic designers, and other inspirational creative individuals in an attempt to get them to inspire you to put aside your excuses and START DOING WORK. Each artist opens up to YOU, revealing the things that hold THEM back on a daily basis, and how they FIGHT THROUGH IT. They then give you one final push, in an attempt to motivate you to start doing work as soon as the episode is over. If you have a full-time job or full-time responsibilities and WISH that you had the COURAGE and MOTIVATION to FINALLY do that thing that has been on your mind, this podcast is for you!

Stef Azevedo is a nature-trippin' self-taught artist from Seattle, Washington, who has been gracing the internet with her beautiful art for the past thirteen years.

Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/stef

In this episode, Stef discusses:

-The role that nature plays in her life and how it helps her to recharge and find inspiration.

-How she used to draw all over her homework, and how a teacher suggested to her parents that they get her more involved in art.

-Her realization that she could create and share art at the age of 14, when she found a site where people shared Sailor Moon fan art.

-How there was a period of time in her twenties when she explored other avenues and didn't draw for three or four years, but she ultimately came back when she realized that there was nothing else she wanted to do more.

-How she handled the transition of quitting her full-time job and not having as much money.

-How her break from art led to sadness, but going out on hikes and exploring reinvigorated her creativity.

-Her upcoming solo show on June 10, 2016 at Crimson Graphics Studio in Tacoma, Washington.

-Why she chooses to mostly draw women figures.

-How she balances her time with the many things going on in her artistic life.

-What she does on days when the creative juices are not flowing.

-How fun it is to see the way other people interpret her art.

Stef's Final Push will inspire you to be patient with yourself as you approach your art!

Quotes:

"I would always draw all over my homework and I'd get in trouble for it."

"I did go through a period in my twenties where I did not draw at all for three or four years."

"I weened off of working full time to work full-time on my art."

"I always try to make my women look really strong and confident in my work.  They've got it.  They're good.  They're holding it down."

"Everything takes time.  And if you put that time in, you will reap those benefits."
