with host artist Miriam Schulman
Today, we’re talking all about how this time is shaping my art practice, and the lessons for you on bringing playfulness into your art.
In this podcast, you will discover…
- Why you need to embrace your inner weirdo.
- Why the opposite of play is not work. The opposite of play is depression — so to lift yourself out of depression, you need to bring playfulness into your art.
- As artists, it’s very important to understand the relationship between stress and creativity.

About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Miriam Schulman, Chief Inspiration Officer of The Inspiration Place. I inspire art-lovers to reconnect with their creativity, learn new skills and techniques, and profit from their art. After witnessing the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Rejecting the starving artist myth, my paintings have been seen on NBC, published in art magazines & home décor books, and collected worldwide. I’d love to invite you to check out one of my free resources for art lovers (of every passion level) at schulmanart.com/freebies

“Episode 113
Amazing insight, like she was looking into my life and reading my mind. The feelings I’ve been having, the reluctance to finish a commission, spinning my wheels and not moving forward, she addresses all of it. Thank you for a “spot on” uplifting chat from one weirdo to another!”

Everything you said resonated with me! I’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired and definitely not playful in the studio. Thank you for letting us know that we’re not the only ones experiencing this and there are ways to move forward. This episode was like getting a hug from a friend 😄.
Great listen!! I often tell my husband I am going to play in my studio vs working ! It’s so true, because it really doesn’t feel like work
