We are absolutely delighted to welcome Gifted Achiever Julianna Brazill to the GU Clubhouse. In this conversation, we learn how Julianna went from having a jobby-job to being a full-time artist, including:
Having no choice but to create
The value of parental support
The joy of vacuuming
The insanity of humans
Feeling “other”
Flying your freak flag
Yoga-mat toting SUV drivers with industrial-sized coffees (major roast!)
Following the creative impulse
Working in different modalities
Avoiding the capitalist trap while keeping your ‘energetic minimum’ in the bank
Having a room of one’s own
Sharing studio space
Normalizing ‘making’
James is now the proud owner of this print by Julianna, and Pat wants this one and this one. We can’t wait to see what she does next!
Questions for Listeners:
Vacuuming as a pastime – yes or no?
What’s your favorite item in Julianna’s online shop?
Do you make stuff? (...art, writing, photography, a home, a clothing style, good food...?)
