#0006 AVA KHERA - THE EMOTIONS BELOW THE SURFACE!

THE CREATIVE NOWHERE LAND PODCAST

Welcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.
In this episode, we sit down with Ava Khera, the runner-up in last year's Women in Art Prize and a self-taught oil painter known for her evocative portrayals of women and their connection to the natural world. Ava's art captures deep emotions through subtle storytelling, urging viewers to delve beneath the surface and discover hidden narratives.

Ava's journey to becoming a full-time artist is both fascinating and inspiring. She initially carved out a successful career as a fashion designer in London and China, working with premium brands. However, a pivotal moment reignited her passion for painting, leading her to bravely leave the fashion industry and pursue her dream as an artist.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of art, discussing the obsession that drives us, the challenges of bravery and burnout, and why being a full-time artist involves much more than just painting. We explore the concept of perfectionism, the idea that a painting is never truly finished, and the notion that being understood is often overrated.

Don't miss the valuable insights shared in Ava's blog, "The Painter's Pathway: Navigating a Career in Arts," which is packed with useful information for aspiring creatives. Be sure to check out Ava's stunning work on her social media and website, linked in the show notes, as you listen to this inspiring episode.

Join us on the Creative Nowhere Land podcast for a journey into the heart of creativity, where we uncover the stories and experiences that shape the art world. Let's get into it!
