EP. 38 A State of Play: Sarah Craw on Finding Your Artistic Voice
Episode notes
What does it take to develop an artistic voice—and to keep evolving once you find it?
In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast, Dr. Jessica Olsen and Dr. Jaclyn Gibbons sit down with artist Sarah Craw to talk about the process of becoming an artist, finding your own visual language, and allowing your work to change as you do.
Sarah shares her perspective on experimentation, observation, and the role that curiosity plays in developing a creative practice. The conversation explores what happens when artists move beyond trying to create what they think they should make and begin paying attention to what genuinely interests them.
The episode also looks at the relationship between play and serious artistic practice, how artists navigate uncertainty, and why developing a creative voice is less about arriving at a final style and more about continuing to explore.
