What makes a work of art impossible to walk past?
In this episode, textile artist Judy Martin shares why beauty still matters, how she knows when a piece is finished, and why she sometimes takes her work apart just before an exhibition. We talk about intuition, motherhood, journaling, poetry, art school, creative confidence, and the challenge of staying connected to yourself while building a life around making.
Judy's quilts have been exhibited internationally, but this conversation goes far beyond textiles. It's about finding your voice, trusting your instincts, and creating work that makes people stop and look.
A warm, thoughtful conversation for artists, makers, readers, and anyone trying to live a more creative life.
