How much value do you place on your creative time? Have you set things up in a way that makes it easy to jump right in? If you need some inspiration in this area, you’ll love my guest today. I am chatting with Sarah Simon! Sarah is the designer, artist-illustrator and author at The Mint Gardener. Based in Seattle, Washington, Sarah creates and teaches lush watercolours inspired by the diverse variety of herbs, flowers and trees grown in her urban garden. In this conversation, Sarah shares how it all began including the pivotal moments that lead her to start painting, set up her Etsy shop (The Mint Gardener) and focus on art full-time. This brings up many interesting topics including the challenge of calling yourself an artist, how to recharge when art becomes a job and the value of getting creatively organised. And of course, there are plenty of tips on how to get started with watercolour!
