This week on our Arts to Hearts Podcast we have Danielle Krysa, aka The Jealous Curator, as our guest. As our host Charuka Arora sits down with Danielle to talk about grief and art, Danielle shares her journey after losing her father, and how she found the courage to continue. Danielle has been an artist for over a decade now, and while she has written books including Creative Block and Collage and Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk, she also runs an influential contemporary art blog. Danielle Krysa's other identity came into being as a result of her self-doubts in the beginning of her career. She was scared to show her work to the world and be judged for it as Danielle, and so she curated another identity where she presented her work as The Jealous Curator. Here, she felt safe from all the harsh comments and critiques. Danielle has come a long way now, where over the years, she has found it easier to reconcile her two identities and be confident in her abilities. In this episode, Danielle opens up about losing her father, and finding her voice after that. Losing a parent came with grief and the trauma, and for Danielle, it was a difficult time in her life. For a while, she struggled to return to her creative space to be an artist, and questioned the trajectory of her life. But as she learned to give herself time to heal, she began to re-discover herself. She started to use art as therapy, and slowed down instead of rushing everything. She changed her outlook towards art, and instead of creating something to sell, she began to learn to enjoy her craft and live in the moment. To listen to Danielle talk in depth about her journey towards healing and self-discovery, tune in to this week's podcast.
