👉 Join the FREE 3-day Going Pro Bootcamp and discover how to build a thriving art career with clarity, confidence, and authentic visibility—no hustle required. https://www.artcareeracademy.com/3-day-bootcamp What is art really for? In this deeply reflective episode of Bench Talk, I sit down with contemporary artist Jasmine Mansbridge for an expansive conversation about dreams, geometry, stillness, and art as a healing force. Jasmine shares how her distinctive visual language, built through geometric forms, portals, and sculptural installations—emerged from years of personal transformation, loss, and deep inner work. Rather than reacting to chaos, her practice seeks to create calm, grounding and presence ~ both for herself and for those who encounter her work. Together, Jasmine and I explore: ⚡️ Creating art from dreams and the subconscious ⚡️ Geometry as metaphor for human experience ⚡️ Art as a way to regulate the nervous system ⚡️ Stillness, meditation, and embodied creative practice ⚡️ The responsibility of caring for a long-term body of work ⚡️ Moving from painting into sculpture and immersive installations ⚡️ Redefining success, sustainability, and wellbeing as an artist ⚡️ Why discipline, structure, and patience matter in a creative life This episode is for emerging and established artists who want to understand where the art world is heading and how to position yourself for long-term success without chasing trends or losing your creative soul. 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube Loved this episode?
