Colour Me Happy! - By Brandi Hofer Studios

You Were Made to Create: Embracing Your Original Spark with Laurie Shapiro

31 Oct 2025

Description

Brandi sits down with New York–based installation artist Laurie Shapiro, whose vibrant, immersive worlds remind us that creativity is as unique as a fingerprint. Together, they explore the creative process, the idea of “stealing like an artist” (as Austin Kleon says), and why true originality isn’t about being first — it’s about being authentic.Laurie shares how she builds her layered, colourful environments and how we can all push past creative self-doubt to express what’s already inside of us. Brandi ties this conversation back to a powerful message from her book Colour Me Happy:This episode is your reminder that your creativity matters — not because it’s perfect, but because it’s yours.Your art is already original — no one else has your experiences, your perspective, or your energy. What you make can’t help but be uniquely yours.Start before you feel ready. Inspiration doesn’t come first — creation does. Each brushstroke, idea, or experiment opens a new door.Dive deeper into this message of creativity and purpose in Brandi’s book Colour Me Happy — available now Buy HERE] “The universe made you — you! Out of infinite possibilities. You were meant to be here right now, in the form you are in, for a spectacular reason. Believe that you were made with purpose, because you were. The stars around you are filled with ideas, choices, and opportunities. You are a gift, and the world is on your side.” - Brandi
