I'm Here Too Podcast

I’m Here Too Podcast

A podcast, hosted by Ara Tucker that explores the intersections of art, culture, creativity, family, identity and all that fills the spaces in between.

We all have a chance to make our own mark, our own impression. Big or small as it ends up being. What a freeing realization that has been for me. Don’t get me wrong. It’s been a long and circuitous road getting to the place where “I” feels authentic and where I don’t apologize for the way I walk through the world.

It took me a long time to get to here, a place where I will be seen and heard. But now that I’m here, I’m eager for some company. I look forward to sharing my journey with you, learning from others, and creating a space where we can feel more connected, inspired and safe to be ourselves.

Off we go!

Hi everybody, welcome to this episode of I'm Here Too.

In this episode, I talk to the painter Alannah Farrell about creating and sustaining an artistic practice and a life structured around that practice. We talk about community and connection in an increasingly online world, the influence of AI on creativity, how going toward the hard thing is sometimes the only way through, and why Alannah is making mistakes as much as possible in the studio.

Off we go, enjoy.
