In this episode, we are chatting with Pamela Bates who is a self described “Soul-Fueled Abstract Painter” from New Hampshire.

We discuss how Pamela started off on the artist's path and she tells us a story about a visit to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and how that experience changed her life. Standing in front of an artwork by John Singer Sargent she knew instantly that she needed to pick up a paintbrush and make art!

This episode covers interesting conversations around listening to your intuition and giving yourself permission to play. As well as working in her own practice Pamela is also a teacher and has a range of interesting online classes that is aimed at igniting creativity and tapping into intuition. Pamela also has a YouTube channel - see the links in the show notes below.

As a self-taught artist, she talks about letting intuition lead the way in her art career by letting it unfold and follow the next step in her art career. We discuss Pamela's collectors club and how she cultivates a sense of community and repeat collectors on Instagram. She does this by making an online event to showcase her art for sale for a limited time.

Pamela has an in person exhibit coming up from July to August at Blue Door Gallery in Mayne. She also has work on display at Windows on Water Art Gallery in Exeter. We really enjoyed this incredibly inspiring and motivating talk with Pamela.

We hope that you enjoy this episode!
