#385: You Are An Artist! Finding Your Creative Spark with Autumn Skye

Artistic Origins

Autumn Skye's journey as an artist began in her childhood, where she was encouraged to embrace her creative instincts. She describes her artistic process as a constant rediscovery, each canvas offering a new journey that teaches her about herself and humanity. Autumn's upbringing across Canada, from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, played a significant role in shaping her artistic vision. She shares, "My greatest gift is that I was never told not to make art. It was just always sort of accepted, known, encouraged, that that's what I was here to do." 1

   

Unlocking Creativity

Unlocking creativity is a journey of self-discovery, as Mark Groves and Autumn discuss. Mark shares how building a wall unit sparked his creative side, challenging his belief that creativity wasn't a viable path. Autumn emphasizes the sacredness of art, noting that inspiration is a fleeting gift that must be seized. She reflects, "I've painted paintings and simultaneously, without knowing, another artist friend creates the same painting, but in their unique way." 2 3
